Both Ways Lyrics

Be honest with me
Did you ever think
That these things that you did
Would come back to haunt you
And fail you again
Don't ever question
My will to admit
That when we're alone
It's too hard to resist
Making believe
That we're bigger than this
Choosing a road
That is different but similar
To the same one I took before

Chorus:
Why don't we breathe
Why cant you see
That things aren't always
What they appear to be
But as simple as it sounds
I think i've found
The perfect way
To grow old

Simpleness describes
The iron that is you
And your rusty old life
Get on with the mattress
And tell tale lies
Watch everything
That you touch turned to ice
We're following the sheep
And they are at it again
Making believe
That they're free as it seems
But only finding out
That they're on a sinking ship
That doesn't care
How many it saves today

Chorus

Watch out now
I see the light
At the end of the tunnel
It seems realistic
That getting there
Will make us fine

But watch out now
It's full of glass
Don't take the chance
You'll surely pass
At least some day
We'll know the reason why

Why don't we breathe
Why cant you see
That things aren't always
What they appear to be
But as simple as it sounds
I think i've found
The perfect way
(To grow old)

Why don't we breathe
Why cant you see
That things aren't always
What they appear to be
But as simple as it sounds
I think i've found
The perfect way
To grow old
The perfect way
The perfect way

this song is amazing! i love it! i think it has to do with a guy who likes a girl and she likes him back but people are telling her differently and it makes her feel like it's wrong for wanting to be with him...so he is saying that Why don't we breathe Why cant you see That things aren't always What they appear to be And as simple as it sounds I think i've found The perfect way To grow old

and the why don't we breathe part is saying that you should go on and LIVE don't hold your breathe hoping that your feelings go away..do what you want and not what others tell you to do...

I think this song is about two people who had a relationship and broke up and are friends, but they still have lingering feelings.

yeah pretty much GREAT song.

Anyways, I think it's about a couple [obviously] and they keep making mistakes and falling apart and this song is to sorta say "keep truckin'" or something like that...

This song is beautiful, again, as is Get Up. I love Quietdrive.

The song definetely portrays difficulties in a relatinoship, but I think the line "As simple as it sounds, I think I've found the perfect way to grow old" is saying like basically I'm in love and I would love to spend my life with you, I don't think growing old would be so bad if it's with you. I think it's really sweet.

This song is meant to sound like a cheesy, pop, love song but its far from love. Its more about the love he has for endings. "Watch out now I see the light at the end of the tunnel" "I think i've found, The perfect way, To grow old." This is implying that suicide is the best option for him. The perfect way he can grow old. The main character suffers from depression, a mental illness or keeps a secret about something which is crippling him into giving him these thoughts. "That is different but similar To the same one I took before" In his past he attempted suicide but failed. He had chosen a similar path before but failed to kill himself. This time though he is certain he will succeed. "when we're alone its too hard to resist" When he is alone with himself suicide, self harm is all he thinks about. Almost every single lyric talks about suicide. That is the true message of this song. A trapped person that had now decided to make the final decision in life and to end it all.
