Jersey

"Let's write a song that we can dance to 'Cause they all wanna listen Just to know how it sounds when I do that thing you know that I do When I find inspiration Well, this is me breaking down when..."

He's talking about writing a song because that’s what he does- he is a musician. When he finds inspiration, he writes songs to express himself.

"And let's write a song that we can sing to And you can lead the choir And put the hook where it hurts the most And you threw a spark that lit the candle That set us all on fire And sent a flame down the East Coast"

He found something out in jersey and the flame or ‘fire’ in him went out, making jersey colder. He hoping that everything that she told him wasn’t a lie. and that is what is keeping him going for just a little longer.

"And I should have been your everything And now at the end of my eternity And I will sleep to have the darkest dreams As this just won't seem right to me I close my eyes and beg for peace"

He should be hers, but now that he isn’t, he doesn’t want to go on anymore. He dreams of her and now everything he does- writing, singing- doesn’t seem like it used to because she was his inspiration and motivation.

that's what i got from it. it might be completely wrong, but whatever. they were so good live. i saw them at warped and love them now! haha

i love the part that goes "And you threw a spark that lit the candle that set us all on fire and sent a FLAAMMEEEE down the EEEAAASSTT coast"

i'm going to really miss Jason's voice! but i guess i can listen to Go Radio for that now. haha. anyway, this song is so good, one of my favorites on the CD

lmfao bro check the bands fuckin myspace it has the official tracklisting for the cd, and the song is called jersey. do your research next time before you go talking shit.

Chill out man. I didn't and won't listen to the leak. I heard the song on AOL radio, and wanted to find out the lyrics for myself. And I figured I might as well post em up somewhere.

He's right. The song is called Jersey. Ironic seeing as how their from Florida.

I just went and looked at the official track listings from fearlessrecords.com and they only have 2 of the original songs. "Jamie All Over" and of course "When I Get Home, Your So Dead"

Kinda depressing cause I was hoping either One Man or Last Something would make it.

i love how that person was freaking out. its called jersey adn you can hear it on aol radio. douche. but seriously, this song is gonna be on high rotation when the cd comes out, i freak out now when its on AOL. these guys are just o-gasmic!

i was reading stuff on the web and blogs and this and back cat supposedly have hidden meanings

"I'll do that thing you know that I do Where I find inspiration"

i think this part reffers to drug use..i could be wrong

you are wrong...the lead singer, derek doesn't even drink. and none of the boys do drugs..so i highly doubt they'd be writing about that.

actually, derek broke edge and drinks all the time. and i think this was actually written while they were in jersey on tour. not sure though.

Jason is still on the CD, which made me really happy. This song is great, I love the whole CD, except Black Cat, I just don't really like that song very much. Great fucking band.
