The Lovesong Writer Lyrics

sitting alone in the dark of the stadium, he whispers his secrets into a cheap guitar.
with the flick of his wrist he turns words into melodies, chords into church bells that fill up the alleys where
lovers entwine in the heat of the night and by dawn are apart in the shivering silences we will pretend that it's all just made up...

The songs that he write are too personal he can't play them for anyone.

when he's all alone, the lovesong writer sings, "oooh-ooooh can anyone hear me now?"
but no one hears him now
so he stumbles through syllables
cut from their sentences
lost letters call to him,
deep in the alphabet,
"please give us meaning"

(and the lovesong writer replies: )
"pose for me now,
you're the broken heart, you're the cry in the back of the throat-- and on the other side, you're the queen of spades, you're the sound that she makes on her way..."
(there's always a way out)

the lovesong writer sits
all alone when he hears the sound
of the knock at the door...

(and as he stands to answer it, the lights flicker the door opens on...)

fifty red roses falling apart
in the hands of someone
that you scripted and left behind.
all of the others, scorned by their lovers showed up at your door, staring you down they said, "sing for me,
sing for me, sing for me, sing for me now"
there's no way out

I can relate to a lot of this song. I'm a writer, i write a lot of things, though my poetry, i'm really subconcious about, like i really really have to care for and trust someone before i shair it with them, its fairly dark, and i guess like i fear people thinking i'm crazy or something. But it also seems to be about the feeling of performing on stage, from the little i've done it, the rush you get is nothing like anything else you'll experience.

Kind of pressed for time at the moment, so I will just say that this song is amazing and really, really beautiful. Geez.

This song to me symbolizes what Geoff feels about his writing. He writes really personally material for people in particular and he feels awkward playing it in front of so many people, because it's flooded with emotion. I also think it's talking about his job, what he's paid for and how he uncovers both extremes from it. I like how he shows that something can be described as horrible and great at the same time.

I also think it's "You're the Queen of Spades/ You're the sound that she makes one her way" otherwise the other corrections are right and otherwise good job

I love this song so fucking much. I've been waiting to hear it again since December and right now......I'm in heaven. This is definitely my favorite song off of the new record. If you people haven't seen this song live, you haven't seen the full potential of this song. It's such a great live song. UGH! I love this fucking song.
