water's edge Lyrics
I'm at the water's edge
and I'm gearing closer
This is where I will be
where you can find me
my shadows kissing secrets
my heart's in agony
i never meant to make you cry
love come back to me
troubled boy i'll kiss you one
last time and then say goodnight forever
but little girl, i'm not feeling well
these nights are long enough
without you
who sends letters through the mail
stop it keep calling my name
i'm fine left a lone
change the lies you took the pictures of the wall
stringing along like a beautiful love song
carolina, carolina, carolina, carolina
now that i have you may i use you as a muse
and keep you up all night with trading stories of whispering love
all i want, all i need
all i want, is to be oohh
dodododododododododododododododo ohh
i'm sending letters through the mail
accepting cherries at the table
change the locks
took the pictures of the wall
stringing along like a beautiful love song
and I'm gearing closer
This is where I will be
where you can find me
my shadows kissing secrets
my heart's in agony
i never meant to make you cry
love come back to me
last time and then say goodnight forever
but little girl, i'm not feeling well
these nights are long enough
without you
who sends letters through the mail
stop it keep calling my name
change the lies you took the pictures of the wall
stringing along like a beautiful love song
and keep you up all night with trading stories of whispering love
all i want, is to be oohh
dodododododododododododododododo ohh
accepting cherries at the table
change the locks
took the pictures of the wall
stringing along like a beautiful love song

I love this band and this song. greeeeaaaat stuff.
I just wish limewire would let me get ahold of the other half of their songs I didn't finish downloading.
Bearshare is another good download program, ha. They have all their songs if you type in the song name, give it a try. :]
This song is really beautiful.
It's kinda ovbious. The boy did something to hurt the girl. and he feels really guilty. He wants her back and she doesnt know how sorry he is. He is still in love with her and she is most likey still in love with him. He remembers all the fun memories he had with her and doesnt want to let go of her or the memories.
These lyrics are pretty fucked up. But anywho, this song is AMAZING.
when he says "my heart's in agony" and "i never meant to make u cry" maybe he means that he lost the girl without even realizing it and now he feels guilty and shocked..maybe he never told her he loved her....the only part that confuses me is when he says "now that i have u" cause how can he have her since he just lost her? maybe he feels that now that he finally told her how he really feels he is going to have her back... dunno;p
this is the first song i heard by 1997... i went to warped tour and decided to check out their set even though i only knew one song. it was the best decision of the day. 1997 is amazing live.
wow these lyrics are really wrong. the right ones are (or so I think):
troubled boy i'll kiss you one last time and then say goodnight forever little girl, i'm not feeling well these nights are long and dull without you who is sending letters through the mail stop it quit calling my name who's empty chair is at the table? it's mine, I left it alone who changed the locks who took the pictures of the wall? string me along like a beautiful love song.
and for those of you who say you can't find the songs, buy the album. it's worth it.
You almost got it perfect but where you said "these nights are long and dull..." it's actually "long enough" Great song!
