Drunken Lament Lyrics
"Self-loathing is quaint,"
you told me, showing restraint.
Now you're gone and I'm lost, in the swells I am tossed
bobbing and choking and losing the fight in the fog.
You said, "Forever..."
Tell me, why can't you stay?
CHORUS
I'd ride in your pocket all day, but I just don't fit
Say the word and I'll change, I'm throwin' a party
tonight, I drink more than a sailor on shore
Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies.
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Drunk since Saturday
without you, without restraint.
It sill stings where you stung, water swings in my lungs
I'm starving for words that would ration my sadness away.
Tell me, "Forever..."
Tell me you'll come back to stay.
REPEAT CHORUS
You were the mermaid for me
'til one day you found your feet
leaving me
in this god-awful bottle, a model of heartache and grief.
REPEAT CHORUS
you told me, showing restraint.
Now you're gone and I'm lost, in the swells I am tossed
bobbing and choking and losing the fight in the fog.
You said, "Forever..."
Tell me, why can't you stay?
I'd ride in your pocket all day, but I just don't fit
Say the word and I'll change, I'm throwin' a party
tonight, I drink more than a sailor on shore
Pour the rum in my eyes, tell me lies.
without you, without restraint.
It sill stings where you stung, water swings in my lungs
I'm starving for words that would ration my sadness away.
Tell me, "Forever..."
Tell me you'll come back to stay.
'til one day you found your feet
leaving me
in this god-awful bottle, a model of heartache and grief.

I used to always skip over this song when i listened to their cd, but now it's one of my favorites. It seems obviously about a girl that left him, and now he's trying to drink his sadness and feelings for her away.
probably one of my least favorite song =\ till I herd the lyrics =]

this song is so beautiful... it kindof reminds me of someone. he's clearly stating that he'd change anything about himself for the girl he loves.... and all he wants is her to be with him. it also seems like he knows he could lose her again, (hence "tell me lies" about staying forever) but its worth it to him just for another moment with her...
le sigh.... makes me cry. :']
its kindof exactly how i feel about someone. willing to change in a heartbeat for them just to get another chance. ludo makes my day :]
this right here stays my alarm clock, its such a nice song.
