And I'm up, down
I'm spinning around
High and dry
And kicked to the ground
I'm lost and I'll never be found
My lips were much too shy
The lines about you
They never rhymed
You said I never get things right
(I never said I was the best thing for you)
But baby, where'd you go?
I need you here tonight
Singing myself to sleep
And you're still my favorite melody
It's been three weeks
How long can this go on?
Singing myself to sleep
And you're haunting every memory
Get out, goodbye
Get out of my life
Goodnight
And you're hot and cold
You're battering my bones
You run while I lose control
I miss you
Forever you'll stay gold
You know I'm not getting by
I've lost it
You're in my mind
And every day's the darkest of my life
(I never said I was the best thing for you)
But baby, where'd you go?
I need you here tonight
Singing myself to sleep
And you're still my favorite melody
It's been three weeks
How long can this go on?
Singing myself to sleep
And you're haunting every memory
Get out, goodbye
Get out of my life
'Cause I'm drowning
(When I close my eyes)
And I'm falling
(I can't breathe tonight)
End of story
I fade to black inside
(I never said I was the best thing for you)
'Cause I'm drowning
(When I close my eyes)
And I'm falling
(I can't breathe tonight)
End of story
I fade to black inside
Singing myself to sleep
And you're still my favorite melody
It's been three weeks
How long can this go on?
Singing myself to sleep
And you're haunting every memory
Get out, goodbye
Get out of my life
'Cause I'm drowning
When I close my eyes
And I'm falling
I can't breathe tonight
End of story
I fade to black inside
I'm spinning around
High and dry
And kicked to the ground
I'm lost and I'll never be found
The lines about you

You said I never get things right

This song is amazing! I think he's still in the process of moving on. It's like he just wants all the pain to just go away in a snap. I'm pertaining to this part of the song. . .
"Singing myself to sleep And just in my favorite melody It's been three weeks How long can this go on? Singing myself to sleep Jaunting every melody Get out, goodbye Get out of my life"
I might be wrong though. XD

i love that part.
the songs basically about getting over a break up. and hes having a hard time moving on.
'My lips were much too shy' I think this means theres alot he wished he'd said.
'And you're haunting every memory' She's all he can think about
Basically the song is about how the girl let him go and he can't get over her.
The only line i don't understand is: 'You're better in my bones'
I agree exactly.
I agree exactly.
I always thought of the "You're better in my bones" to be a sexual reference..but maybe I'm just too perverted to see it any other way? :/ I think that at the end, and this might be the dramatic part of me (forgot the pervertedness), but I think at the end is a reference to suicide? Like, as if this story were a movie, then this guy would fall or drown to his death, fade to black, and have the credits roll. The one thing that is easy to deduct from this song is that it's about a dude dealing with a break-up that meant alot to him.
Favorite The Cab song after Vegas Skies
ok, EDIT: the words are "battering my bones" not "better in my bones" (according to the album booklet)
These fellas will be HUGE I love this song so much it hurts
