A Story To Tell Your Friends Lyrics
It was the type of feeling that can't be explained
The way she moved her lips drove me insane
Now I'm left here in the wake of something more.
She made it hard to leave as she stood by the door
In a v-neck T-shirt and nothing more than
A single tear rolling down her cheek, whoa
Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a phone call at 4am.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to steal my heart and leave.
Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a story to tell your friends.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to make me fall again.
It's getting hard, I know, believe me I feel you
I can't fall asleep knowing you're not home
Is it too much to ask, can't you just pick up the phone?
We've had our share of fights,
I know it's not easy when I'm never home,
I have my own dreams
Like you have your life planned out back home
Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a phone call at 4am.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to steal my heart and leave.
Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a story to tell your friends.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to make me fall again.
And I, will always stand between us
And hold you so high
Just enough to watch you fade
Tonight you'll cry yourself asleep
As I lay awake in some far off city
Pretend you're lying next to me
Eyes wide open dreaming of you
Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a phone call at 4am.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to steal my heart and leave.
Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a phone call at 4am.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to steal my heart and leave.
Don't go away again,
I want to be more than a story to tell your friends.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to make me fall again.
The way she moved her lips drove me insane
Now I'm left here in the wake of something more.
She made it hard to leave as she stood by the door
In a v-neck T-shirt and nothing more than
A single tear rolling down her cheek, whoa
I want to be more than a phone call at 4am.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to steal my heart and leave.
I want to be more than a story to tell your friends.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to make me fall again.
I can't fall asleep knowing you're not home
Is it too much to ask, can't you just pick up the phone?
I know it's not easy when I'm never home,
I have my own dreams
Like you have your life planned out back home
I want to be more than a phone call at 4am.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to steal my heart and leave.
I want to be more than a story to tell your friends.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to make me fall again.
And hold you so high
Just enough to watch you fade
Tonight you'll cry yourself asleep
As I lay awake in some far off city
Pretend you're lying next to me
Eyes wide open dreaming of you
I want to be more than a phone call at 4am.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to steal my heart and leave.
I want to be more than a phone call at 4am.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to steal my heart and leave.
I want to be more than a story to tell your friends.
Seems like every time you come back home
It's just to make me fall again.

I love the way he says "4AM" in the third to last chorus sososo much.<3
oh my gosh. this is one of my faves off the album. dave's voice.
the rest of my comment is gone. :|
i think its about two people who are split apart because of him being in a band / having to leave.
this reminds me soo much of my boyfriend
I love this song :) And yeah, I think it's about being in a relationship and being in a band and having to tour and such.

i love this line:

This is such a great song and I can relate to it alot because i'm in a long distance relationship (Smart, i know) and it's few and far between when we talk. And though i hate to admit it sometimes, i hate listening to this song because it just reminds me that my boyfriend is 589420754830 miles away. (jk it's more like 1000)
I think this song is about a girl using a guy(or playing a guy for a fool)
i love david <3
if you only listen to the chorus (which i made the mistake of doing initially) it sounds like he just uses her for a hook up, but the rest of the song makes it obvious that its just that they have conflicting life plans: "I have my own dreams Like you have your life planned out back home"
so sad :( its the same theme as their other song "Think of You Later;" two people that love each other very much but can't be together.
