Lillian

Okay, a lot to address on this song.

The name comes from the lady from the homeowner's association in Mark's old community when he lived in Rancho Santa Fe, San Diego, California.

Now, the band has given two meanings: one is the blink breakup, and one is just how while his community was beautiful, all the people were assholes around him.

as for the breakup, It can't get more literal.

The first verse:

The place I used to live made me feel like a tourist I couldn't coexist with the cold and suspicious When the last remaining light was starting to filter It seemed the perfect time to step into the future

It's basically saying that blink started to turn into something it wasn't, and Tom was taking too much control. As the band fizzled out, it seemed the right time to start something new.

The chorus is basically addressing Tom, just as No It Isn't does.

Your heart is a grave to be perfectly honest Your mouth's a smoking gun And you smile while you're twisting the knife in my stomach Until everything is gone Take all you can from me I've got weak constitution I'm led so easily So easily

The first part is just talking about Tom being an ass and just the way he handled the whole breakup. The second part seems to be Mark kind of regretting not addressing the truth about the breakup (that Tom quit the band) and how he allowed Tom to go out and lie to the media and the fans, and walk around eveyr question.

I left it all behind in the dead of last winter I left it all behind but the question still lingers So long, forgotten friends No you don't know the difference Between love and submission And I'm not that obedient

This next verse is saying that he left the band the last winter, he left it all behind, but the possibility of reuniting is always there. Goodbye Tom, you're not my friend anymore, because you can't distinguish control from a democracy, and I can't take it.

Then the last part, with the outro "And she's trying to sleep it off" seems like his Wife trying to console him and he's just trying not to think about it.

this song kicks a million asses. it kicks a million asses hard.

The place I used to live, made me feel like a tourist*

The place I used to live, made me feel like a tourist*

three posts? holy shit this song is by far the best song that has come out in the past 10 years or longer!

God Who posted these lyrics...so wrong

i think its "your heart IS a grave" not "is no"

Correct Lyrics: The place I used to live, made me feel like a tourist I couldn't coexist with the cold and suspicious When the last remaining left was starting to filter It seemed the perfect time to step into the future

Your heart is no grave to be perfectly honest Your mouth's a smoking gun And you smile while your twisting the knife in my stomach Until everything is gone Take all you can from me I've got weak constitution I'm led so easily So easily

I left it all behind, in the dead of last winter I left it all behind, but the question still lingers So long forgotten friends, no, you don't know the difference Between love and submission, and I'm not that obedient

Your heart is no grave, to be perfectly honest Your mouth's a smoking gun And you smile while your twisting the knife in my stomach Until everything is gone Take all you can from me I've got weak constitution I'm led so easily So easily

And she's trying to sleep it off With her head on my shoulder And I'm trying to keep it out Of my thoughts when I hold her (Take all you can from me) And I'm trying to sleep it off With her head on my shoulder (I'm led so easily) And I'm trying to figure out Of my thoughts when I hold her

Your heart is no grave, to be perfectly honest Your mouth's a smoking gun And you smile while your twisting the knife in my stomach Until everything is gone Take all you can from me I've got weak constitution I'm led so easily So easily

ah didnt realize you corrected them...nevermind that last post then.

In this song he actually says "your heart is A grave to be perfectly honest"
