Five Becomes Four Lyrics
Needed some time so I could find
A little strength to redefine
What I've become, what I have done
I never asked to be the one
I'm riding it out
This storm that you brought in
Bringing it down on me
Around for you I go again
It's gotta be easy to see
What everyone takes out of me
Knocking me down, dragging me out
How did you end up in that crowd?
Did you run away?
Did you fall apart?
Do you see yourself for what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore
When five becomes four?
When you're all alone with a melody
Do you close your eyes and think of me?
Will you still hear me singing anymore
When five becomes four?
Try and put aside your history and pride
Maybe for one moment in time
We'll all be on your side
The story goes nobody knows
What it was like when you would through
Someone who cared out in the air
Then let them crash down anywhere
Did you run away?
Did you fall apart?
Do you see yourself for what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore
When five becomes four?
When you're all alone with a melody
Do you close your eyes and think of me?
Will you still hear me singing anymore
When five becomes four?
Remember the line, "Never say die"?
You are the reason I survived
Where did you go?
I need to know
I waited here; you never showed
It's gonna be harder for me
I can't forgive so many things
When you were down, I was around
Why would you try and hurt me now?
Just tell me why
Just tell me why
(Did you run away?)
(Did you run away?)
Did you run away?
Did you fall apart?
Do you see yourself for what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore
When five becomes four?
When you're all alone with a melody
Do you close your eyes and think of me?
Will you still hear me singing anymore
When five becomes four?
When five becomes four
When five becomes four
A little strength to redefine
What I've become, what I have done
I never asked to be the one
This storm that you brought in
Bringing it down on me
Around for you I go again
It's gotta be easy to see
What everyone takes out of me
Knocking me down, dragging me out
How did you end up in that crowd?
Did you fall apart?
Do you see yourself for what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore
When five becomes four?
When you're all alone with a melody
Do you close your eyes and think of me?
Will you still hear me singing anymore
When five becomes four?
Maybe for one moment in time
We'll all be on your side
The story goes nobody knows
What it was like when you would through
Someone who cared out in the air
Then let them crash down anywhere
Did you fall apart?
Do you see yourself for what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore
When five becomes four?
When you're all alone with a melody
Do you close your eyes and think of me?
Will you still hear me singing anymore
When five becomes four?
You are the reason I survived
Where did you go?
I need to know
I waited here; you never showed
It's gonna be harder for me
I can't forgive so many things
When you were down, I was around
Why would you try and hurt me now?
Just tell me why
Just tell me why
(Did you run away?)
Did you fall apart?
Do you see yourself for what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore
When five becomes four?
When you're all alone with a melody
Do you close your eyes and think of me?
Will you still hear me singing anymore
When five becomes four?
When five becomes four
When five becomes four

i was wondering what this song was about.. so now i know :]
but yeah are you guys refering to the album lights and sounds or the song? because i like that song :D and ocean avenue is deff. their best album. it's the best album ever!!!!!!!
Oml! This is one of THE BESTEST songs where Sean's violin chords sound AMAZING! He's soo awesome! But yes! I agree... I think the song may have to do with Ben leaving the band. Hmm... that's something un-cool about bands. I think this album is soo AWESOME. Like Ocean Avenue. But yeah... it sorta makes up for the lights and sounds album. True.
The song is about lead guitarist Ben Harper's departure from the band in 2005.
In 2005, Harper went with the other band members to Los Angeles while Key and Mosely moved to New York City to create new material for their next album. During the following months tensions arose between the band members, mostly after Harper was arrested on May 14 for suspicion of DUI. In an interview with MTV News he said that he was finished with writing the guitar tracks for the album and that he was leaving the band. He was replaced by Ryan Mendez from the band Staring Back.

This song is about Ben Harper "Needed some time so i could find A little strength to redfine What i have done what ive become i never asked to be the one" Ryan was pretty sad after Ben left, the line i never asked to be the one is because ryan was the one who told ben to leave the band even though it was a complete band decsion, ryan was the one who had to confront ban so he was looked at as the bad guy but he did do some bad things to ben. When writing lights and sounds, ryan and pete moved to new york to try to right a pure rock album and they blocked ben completely out of the writing process of lights and sounds thinking he might mess up there goal of a pure rock record. But for ryans defense, Ben was spending more time at his record company Takeover records than with yellowcard.
amazing song. i really hope the rest of the album is as great as this song!
Five Becomes Four, as the title suggests, talks about Ben Harper. Ben was with Yellowcard when the band skyrocketed in popularity with the album "Ocean Avenue". And, like the announcement of someone's departure, it's going to take some time for the remaining members to "find a little strength to redefine".
I think instead of:
I’m letting it out This storm that you brought in
Its:
I'm riding it out This storm that you brought in
and instead of: It’s hard to be, easy to see What everyone takes out of me
it's:
It's gotta be, easy to see What everyone takes out of me
Just what I hear.
gd song. cant wait.
Yes i agree it makes sense to be when he left the band . but didnt he havve health issues? so im not sure how that is running away.. && "Why would you try and hold me now"? ^hold=Hurt^ it think
Great song I LOVE THEM
