August 28th 3:30 AM Lyrics

Put your swords away
I'm already down
The higher we both climb
The further we fall
Now we're under looking up into the floor
And burn each other though we're dying for more
We're stuck on this disfunction
We love it to our death
We celebrate destruction by lighting up this bed

You can take your love away
But don't you ever leave me alone
Burn the ghosts we've carried home
Come on, touch me
Show me you're imperfect, too
These broken lights
They shine on us tonight

We don't talk much
When there's so much to say
We don't listen, but yet we try anyway
My stomach feels sick, bitter, and open
Reveries of helplessness
Have left me all but hopin'

We strip each other's beauty
We push it to the end
We face each other smiling
And leave it all unsaid

You can take your love away
But don't you ever leave me alone
Burn the ghosts we've carried home
Come on, touch me
Show me you're imperfect, too
These broken lights
They shine on us tonight

We kiss till we bleed
We feel so much it's killing us
We fight till were free
And he threatens to leave but won't let me
We cry till we see
Infatuations break us down
We're healing at three
We dance inside this tragedy
We dance inside this tragedy

You can take your love away
But don't you ever leave me alone
Burn the ghosts we've carried home
Come on, touch me
Show me you're imperfect, too
These broken lights
They shine on us tonight

They way I interpret this song is that she secretly loves him, and he doesn't love her, but they continue to hook up. She really wants to tell him how she feels, but is afraid that if she does he will just leave her.

I met Juliet last Sunday and she is one of the nicest person from a band I've ever met, she talked to me for a good 20 mins about boys ;P lovee her.

well i think this song is absolutely amazing first of all i think the significance of the time and date might be the day her boyfriend left. like pt_star said, this song is about a boy who stopped loving her but she doesn't want him to leave, so maybe the time and date is when he ended up leaving her.

this song basically shows how their relationship is falling apart but she is hanging on and she doesn't want him to leave this song is amazing and incredibly powerful and i think juliet simms is amazing and her music is...

On one of the youtube videos, Juliet mentioned it's about a guy that has stopped loving her, but she doesn't want him to leave her.

i love this song! i think its about a girl who knows that the love isn't there anymore and she can learn to be okay with that but she can't stand the thought of being alone. She'd rather be with someone who doesn't love her than to be without... Vulnerabilty at its worsr

i don't know if i agree with the fact that it's a song about a guy who doesn't love her anymore... i think there's too much urgency and an obvious desire for them to be together for that. I think it's about a couple who knows that they can't be together, however the passion and the desire for love is still there, while it is only bringing them both down.

to me, it seems like they love eachother too much, which is whats killing them. i think the "ghost" symbolizes the relationship they had before, and i feel like this is some encounter afterwards that seems like they want to be with eachother so bad, however know it just isn't right...

I think this song is about someone she loves very VERY much.... and he doesn't seem to return the love but she doesn't want to be without him. This song reminds me of my ex boyfriend.... Lol.
