Sarah Lyrics
Won't you tell me your name
I've been waiting here for hours
In the garden by the flowers
You're so shy
So just open your eyes
The boys all form a line to be written out in time
A long, long, long, long time ago
I think I am falling apart
Emergency
I think I am losing the fight
And I don't know if I can do it
I don't know if I can try
I don't know if anyone asked me the reason I lied
She sighed
Is she your new best friend
One day it will end, you know it will
You're so shy
So just let it fall apart
Let it stumble in the dark
With the razors in your heart
A long, long, long, long time ago
I think I am falling apart
Emergency
I think I am losing the fight
And I don't know if I can do it
I don't know if I can try
I don't know if anyone asked me the reason I lied
She sighed
She sighed
I think I am falling apart
Emergency
I think I am losing the fight
And I don't know if I can do it
I don't know if I can try
I don't know if anyone asked me the reason I lied
She sighed
She sighed

The "emergency" bit in this song sounds exactly like the chorus of the theme from "The Neverending Story".
I agree with oball. I'm pretty sure the true inspiration for this song comes from that one time the guys from Eskimo Joe were sitting around somebody's living room, stoned out of their gourdes, and one of them discovered a copy of the Neverending Story burried under a pile of 10-minute workout tapes and ancient playboy mags.

this song is awesome,it got my attention cos my girlfriends name is sarah,so yeah eskimo joe rocks great aussie rock

So sad.
Like, there was a relationship but it just didn't work, no matter what they tried. And he felt kind of helpless because of it.

love this song!

Thanks to eskimo joe for writing such an awesome "sarah song", I've finally found one that I like!
To me, it sounds like he's talking about this girls fight with depression or something and there's nothing he can do. He says, "you're so shy" and the mention of the "razors in your heart" sounds pretty ominous. "emergency", sounds as if he's struggling to help her with this.
I'm not sure about the lines about it being a "long time ago" though....
Awesome song either way.

good song

SARAH! Leavers '06

what's with the whole: won't u tell me your name? i mean doesn't he say her name? other than that, its not a bad song

Hey. does anyone know what it means by... Sarah. won't you tell me your name? He just said her name...............?

to me this song isnt about a girl called sarah, its about a girl bar or somewhere that wont tell him her name, becuase shes so shy so he makes one up for her
