Thick As Thieves

In case no one has seen Dashboard lately, you can hear the song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8fHQspv6Qg

It's sooooo good to hear a new dashboard song :D I love chris

i was there when he played this live for the first time. =D aaaaah, one of the most amazing shows, ever.

it IS so good to have a new dashboard song. i'm dying! he's going on the first solo tour in FIVE YEARS!! pray that i'll get tickets for the atlanta or nashville show.

those lyrics are definitely not right...

Would it kill you to breathe Is it only 17 miles right between you and me I could make it if I had to I don't break easily Got my counsel, thick as thieves If there's a crime we'll keep it secret But there's only trace amounts left in your blood You may be a sinner But you may be justified

Just keep your mouth shut Keep your guard up I swear I'll make it right

Will it kill me to breathe? Not as easy as you think it is between you and me I could fake it if I have to I don't break easily Got my counsel, thick as thieves I have no crown to keep a secret It was hers, it was not mine Well I may be a sinner But it wasn't me this time

Just keep your mouth shut Keep your guard up I swear I'll make it right

Listen to yourself You have a hemorrhage in your mouth It won't stop bleeding You may be the traitor But I will hold the smoking gun We'll get away clean I'll keep your secrets til the grave has swallowed me And I will never tell a tortured soul that's burning my side That I am a sinner I am a savior I am a lie

So keep your mouth shut Keep your guard up I swear I'll make it right

I'm SOOOOO happy that Chris is returning to his acoustic roots. This song reminds me of the Swiss Army Romance days. =]

STILL NOT THE RIGHT LYRICS, HERE ARE THE CORRECT ONES:

would it kill you to breathe easy? only 17 miles lay between you and me i could make it if i had to i don't break easily you got my council, thick as thieves if there's a crime, we'll keep it secret for there's only trace amounts left in your blood you may be a sinner but you may be justified

just keep your mouth shut keep your guard up i swear i'll make it right

will it kill me to breathe? not as easy as you think it is between you and me, i could fake it if i have to i don't break easily i need your council, thick as thieves i have no crime to keep a secret it was hers, it was not mine well i may be a sinner, but it wasn't me this time

just keep your mouth shut keep your guard up i swear i'll make it right

well, listen to yourself there is a hemmorage in your mouth it won't stop bleeding well, you may be the trigger i will hold the smoking gun you'll get away clean i'll keep your secrets 'til the grave has swallowed me and i will never tell a tortured soul there burning by my side that i am a sinner i am a savior i am a lie

so keep your mouth shut keep your guard up i swear i'll make it right

Chillllllll. I put up these lyrics from what I heard from a LIVE version of this song. I'll correct them right now, damn.

As for meaning, anyone care to share?

The reason why these lyrics seem wrong is because the lyrics are different from the one he sang live (which is on youtube) and the one that was recorded in a studio.

Doh. Guess you just put up that comment as i was writing mines.
