I've got your blood
Under my fingernails
It feels like I could
Never wash it away
Well how about that?
I could never do that
Well whaddaya know about that?
I could never do that
I've been waiting for your blood
To appear on my hands
And there it was
Under very different circumstances
It's a clanging symbol
To end this drum roll
It's a clanging symbol
To end this drum roll
I've been walking you
Into those lamposts again
I'd rather do that than
Let go of your hand
I've been watching your fingers
Straddle the neck of your guitar
Since you said they'd buckle
Like the legs of a new born foal
But they're still standing
Making those sweet
Mongrel chord shapes
Yea they're still standing
And you got the middle
One raised to me
I've been walking you
Into those lamposts again
I'd rather do that than
Let you of your hand
I feel you from me
Braithim uaim tú
I feel you from me
I've been walking you
Into those lamposts again
I'd rather do that than let
Go of your hand
Under my fingernails
It feels like I could
Never wash it away
Well how about that?
I could never do that
Well whaddaya know about that?
I could never do that
To appear on my hands
And there it was
Under very different circumstances
It's a clanging symbol
To end this drum roll
It's a clanging symbol
To end this drum roll
Into those lamposts again
I'd rather do that than
Let go of your hand
Straddle the neck of your guitar
Since you said they'd buckle
Like the legs of a new born foal
But they're still standing
Making those sweet
Mongrel chord shapes
Yea they're still standing
And you got the middle
One raised to me
Into those lamposts again
I'd rather do that than
Let you of your hand
Braithim uaim tú
I feel you from me
Into those lamposts again
I'd rather do that than let
Go of your hand

i think this is about a love hate relationship where theya re fighting constantly and he thought he would break up with her a million times over but then when he does get a scare and something happens he regrets it and really just wants the best for her.
I love how they put the irish in there too. love em.
Can't seem to get this song out of my head recently.

What Class!! Unreal!
Braithim uaim thú, sang during the closing crescendo, is the Irish for I miss you, or literally "I feel your absence".
