Q&A
On A Wire Lyrics
I'm on fire, close to the water,
And I'll be saved again.
Staring at the ocean, over and over,
Will I ever see them again?
Why believe sos?
Find a way to bring me home,
I don't wanna be alone again, not again.
Find a ship to take me home,
I don't wanna be alone again, not again, not again, not again, not again.
I'm on a wire, over the border, and I'll be safe again.
Living on an island, over and over,
I don't think I'll see them again.
Why believe sos?
Find a way to bring me home,
I don't wanna be alone again, not again, not again, not again, not again.
As the daylight fades,
I am a broken man, all alone
As the daylight fades,
I'm just a broken man, all alone, with no home.
Find a ship to take me home,
I don't wanna be alone again, not again, not again, not again, not again.
Find a ship to take me home,
I don't wanna be alone again, not again, not again, not again, not again.
And I'll be saved again.
Staring at the ocean, over and over,
Will I ever see them again?
I don't wanna be alone again, not again.
Find a ship to take me home,
I don't wanna be alone again, not again, not again, not again, not again.
Living on an island, over and over,
I don't think I'll see them again.
I don't wanna be alone again, not again, not again, not again, not again.
As the daylight fades,
I am a broken man, all alone
As the daylight fades,
I'm just a broken man, all alone, with no home.
I don't wanna be alone again, not again, not again, not again, not again.
Find a ship to take me home,
I don't wanna be alone again, not again, not again, not again, not again.

A good song, obviously refering to the hours after the boat has sunk...
B-E-A Utiful. I love this song.
Hold up... There's a mistake in those lyrics.
The line before the chorus is in fact;
"Why'd they leave so soon"
Well.. according to the 'Tales Don't Tell Themselves' booklet.
Ah, yes, sorry about that. I had trouble figuring out what was being said here, I was typing at the same time as listening to the song on FFAF MySpace. Listened to that bit over and over, but the best I could come up with was the "Why believe sos" as in why believe the s.o.s call will save us? ... but I was wrong. When you listen to it again knowing the correct lyric, it is still hard to pick out, but is definately there.
Yeah.
Matt sings the "soon" part with a high pitched voice. It was hard to spot. I thought it was just backup vocals.
I think this is one of the best songs of the album.. Too bad it doesn't touch me that much as Hours did. Kinda changed again, I like it, but I like the old FFAF better.
