When We Die Lyrics
I know that it's early
and it's too hard to think
and the broken empty bottles, a reminder in the sink
but I thought that I should tell you
if it's not too late to say
I can put back all the pieces
they just might not fit the same
there's nothing worth losing
especially the chance to make it right
and I know that we're gonna be fine
and the tattooed mistakes are gonna fade over time
as long as we live and time passes by
and we won't get it back when we die
I know it's been years now
and I don't look the same
and the hopes and dreams you had for me you thought went down the drain
and the room looks so empty where my pictures used to be
and I can't say that I blame you
but you can't blame me
there's nothing worth losing
especially the chance to make it right
and I know that we're gonna be fine
and the tattooed mistakes are gonna fade over time
as long as we live and time passes by
and we won't get it back when we die
Come over come over 'cause I gotta know
if I am doing this all on my own
come over come over how can I tell you if you're not here?
and I know that we're gonna be fine
and the tattooed mistakes are gonna fade over time
as long as we live and time passes by
and we won't get it back when we die
and I know that we're gonna be fine
and the tattooed mistakes are gonna fade over time
as long as we live and time passes by
we won't get it back when we die
come over come over whoa-oh-oh
come over come over whoa-oh-oh
come over come over
I gotta know
won't get it back when we die
I know that it's early
and it's too hard to think
and the broken empty bottles, a reminder in the sink
but I thought that I should tell you
if it's not too late to say
I can put back all the pieces
they just might not fit the same
especially the chance to make it right
and I know that we're gonna be fine
and the tattooed mistakes are gonna fade over time
as long as we live and time passes by
and we won't get it back when we die
and I don't look the same
and the hopes and dreams you had for me you thought went down the drain
and the room looks so empty where my pictures used to be
and I can't say that I blame you
but you can't blame me
especially the chance to make it right
and I know that we're gonna be fine
and the tattooed mistakes are gonna fade over time
as long as we live and time passes by
and we won't get it back when we die
if I am doing this all on my own
come over come over how can I tell you if you're not here?
and I know that we're gonna be fine
and the tattooed mistakes are gonna fade over time
as long as we live and time passes by
and we won't get it back when we die
and the tattooed mistakes are gonna fade over time
as long as we live and time passes by
we won't get it back when we die
come over come over whoa-oh-oh
come over come over
won't get it back when we die
I know that it's early

The lyric in question is "And the hopes and dreams you had for me you thought went down the drain" But I think this is one of the best songs on the album. I think it could really be about anything but i'm getting a bad parent vibe from it.
I wouldn't say its the "bad parent" thing. More like cats in the cradle. you know: kid wants to spend time w/ parent but the parent doesn't have time. When parent does have time the kid doesn't. thats what it reminds me of.
Wow!!!!! Great song of BFS. this is the most seriuos song of bwoling for soup I ever heard. And the video is pretty touching. JUST THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!
I dont like BFS but i love this song
i dont really like BFS but this song is good. I think its about a breakup but the two people are still friends :S i dunno tho
To me, this song is about someone who has made a lot of mistakes in the past, but now he wants to make everything right. People aren't always so forgiving for the mistakes we make, but you've gotta make it right, because there's gonna be some day when you CAN'T make it right. This song is just about trying to make up for all the mistakes you've made.
I thought he was saying "The tattooed mistakes all but fade over time" not "the tattooed mistakes are gonna fade over time"
basically, its about his relationship with his dad and how he pretty much disowned him
so the guys begging his dad for a chance to start it over the video makes it click
this song is really great. its alot like why dont i miss you. about how he made alot of mistakes but now he wants to make things right. The video clip makes me cry its so sad. Its very touching. i dont know how people could dislike this song. It doesn't have any of the wingy quality that b4s usually has. It reminds me of my relationship with my own dad. Its one of the best songs ever
to me this song is about being able to start over, we all made mistakes but we have to try to get past them even if they were a long time ago and they hurt as bad now as they did then, because time continues to go one and none of us are going to live forever, and even when we die we may not get the chance to say "im sorry, i love you, please forgive me"
