Q&A
I'd Be More Interested If You Were Already Spoken For... Lyrics
Does your family have any history
Of addiction or succombing to guys like me?
Was your father the type to say things right
Or was your mother the type to spend the night?
'Cause I get the feeling that you're buying time
Ironically enough, as you spark that light
You order two more shots
But don't wait for the lime
Down go your last two reasons to lie
Does your conscience keep you up at night
Screaming out
We know, we know
We know, we know
Does your conscience keep you up at night
Screaming out
We know, we know
We know, we know
Can you feel their stares?
Cross your fingers
And hope he doesn't wait up for you
'Cause my touch lingers
And it will be written all over you
Cross your fingers
And hope he buys all the shit you feed him
'Cause that taste lingers
When he's gone and you still need him
This is dirty water
But it's still something worth drinking down
If it can cure my dehydration
From the words you let slip out
'Cause we've got dirty laundry
And we've got closets with hinges
That beg to bust and expose us
For the people in the elevator
Does your conscience keep you up at night
Screaming out
We know, we know
We know, we know
Does your conscience keep you up at night
Screaming out
We know, we know
We know, we know
Cross your fingers
And hope he doesn't wait up for you
'Cause my touch lingers
And it will be written all over you
Cross your fingers
And hope he buys all the shit you feed him
'Cause that taste lingers
When he's gone and you still need him
And then he gets the feeling that you're buying time
As you struggle like a teen to spark that light
You order two more shots
But don't wait for the lime
Down go your last two reasons to lie
Cross your fingers
And hope he doesn't wait up for you
'Cause my touch lingers
And it will be written all over you
Cross your fingers
And hope he buys all the shit you feed him
'Cause that taste lingers
When he's gone and you still need him
Of addiction or succombing to guys like me?
Was your father the type to say things right
Or was your mother the type to spend the night?
Ironically enough, as you spark that light
You order two more shots
But don't wait for the lime
Down go your last two reasons to lie
Screaming out
We know, we know
We know, we know
Does your conscience keep you up at night
Screaming out
We know, we know
We know, we know
Can you feel their stares?
And hope he doesn't wait up for you
'Cause my touch lingers
And it will be written all over you
Cross your fingers
And hope he buys all the shit you feed him
'Cause that taste lingers
When he's gone and you still need him
But it's still something worth drinking down
If it can cure my dehydration
From the words you let slip out
And we've got closets with hinges
That beg to bust and expose us
For the people in the elevator
Screaming out
We know, we know
We know, we know
Does your conscience keep you up at night
Screaming out
We know, we know
We know, we know
And hope he doesn't wait up for you
'Cause my touch lingers
And it will be written all over you
Cross your fingers
And hope he buys all the shit you feed him
'Cause that taste lingers
When he's gone and you still need him
As you struggle like a teen to spark that light
You order two more shots
But don't wait for the lime
Down go your last two reasons to lie
And hope he doesn't wait up for you
'Cause my touch lingers
And it will be written all over you
Cross your fingers
And hope he buys all the shit you feed him
'Cause that taste lingers
When he's gone and you still need him

Sounds just like a song about cheating on someone, pretty obvious by the song title. The person cheating of course feels like everybody knows.
good song! (:
even if this doesn't correct anything, if you like this song i thought you would be interested in the first(?) draft of these lyrics, from ben's absolutepunk journal, on 5-22-06.
does your family have any history of addiction or succombing to a guy like me? was your father the type to say things right or was your mother the type to spend the night?
because i get the feeling that you're buying time Ironically enough, as you find your light you call for two more shots but don't wait for the lime down the hatch goes your last reason to put up a fight
Yeah darling take it off, you can blame me in the morning it's not my fault that his touch grew boring it's always "just tonight" as long as drinks keep coming and he'll never have know if i can keep you humming
This is dirty water but it's still something worth drinking down if it can cure my dehydration those words you just let slip dried me out
cos we've got dirty laundry and we've got closets with hinges that beg to bust and expose us for the charlatans the strangers in the elevator, the staircase and the caterer's waiter, always knew we were
Yeah darling take it off, you can blame me in the morning it's not my fault that his touch grew boring it's always "just tonight" as long as drinks keep coming and he'll never have know if i can keep you humming
and then he gets the feeling that you're buying time as you struggle like a teen to spark that light you call for two more shots but don't wait for the lime down the hatch goes your last reason to lie
ahh, amazing song. I'm surprised there's not more comments on this one. def. about cheating. pretty easy to interpret.
