Damnit Anna Lyrics
damnit anna don't look at me that way
you know very well what you did that day
yes you know very well
you say you got a soul to sell
but if you wanna meet the devil
you gotta go to hell
damnit anna can't you look me in the eyes
you better pay attention when i'm giving you advice
'cause you'll pay out then know
that nothing comes for free
you already paid the price of losing me
well i am big and flesh
i dread the words you read
a book without a cover
so don't judge me 'till its over
damnit anna don't you give me away
i'm sleeping in the shadows and i'm here to stay
they say if you love something
you better give it away
but i've seen the same things happen
in a canned rage
damnit anna (damnit anna)
damnit anna (damnit anna)
damnit anna (damnit anna)
damnit anna
you know very well what you did that day
yes you know very well
you say you got a soul to sell
but if you wanna meet the devil
you gotta go to hell
you better pay attention when i'm giving you advice
'cause you'll pay out then know
that nothing comes for free
you already paid the price of losing me
i dread the words you read
a book without a cover
so don't judge me 'till its over
i'm sleeping in the shadows and i'm here to stay
they say if you love something
you better give it away
but i've seen the same things happen
in a canned rage
damnit anna (damnit anna)
damnit anna (damnit anna)
damnit anna

but I've seen the same things happen in a careless rage
although i couldnt find the correct lyrics for this song (even when i checked on their website) i think i still got the jist of it. i think the song is about a guy and a girl (although its sorta unclear if they are in a relationship or not) and the guy is trying to be patient with this girl and it seems she has made her fair share of mistakes but this guy is still staying by her side even though it is hard for him. it would seem that this guy is frustrated with her but in a cute kind of "i still love you anyway" (did i just answer my own question here? maybe they are in a relationship). any other ideas? its a cute song though , and this band seems pretty solid. they've sort of got a vampire weekend/the kooks sound. good job guys.
i think he's frustrated that someone he loves/d is dealing with an eating disorder and would rather be with the illness than with him.
first of all, think it's bled instead of dread.
second, this song seems to be about a guy who loves anna, and she's an idiot, and she keeps making mistakes, so she's lost him at least once before, and he doesn't want to lose her again, but it seems to be going in that direction.
or at least that's what i say about it. cause my name is anna, and i screw up pretty bad.
Here is what I think some of the lyrics are just based on listening and piecing together:
NOT 'cause you'll pay out then know that nothing comes for free INSTEAD 'cause you'll pay out the nose, 'cause nothing comes for free
NOT well i am big and flesh, i dread the words you read INSTEAD well I am ink and flesh, I bled the words you read
NOT ive seen the same thing happen in a canned rage.
INSTEAD... I have no idea. I just don't think it's canned rage. Sounds more like Candace rage or canvas rage or something.
I emailed the Morning Benders band email and asked what the last line says. They said it says "I've seen the same thing happen in a jealous rage".

I just listened to it again and it was "careless rage" not jealous rage, which accounts for why people had thought canned. I was wondering how you could get a C out of a J. They were at my work yesterday and performed and they were ADORABLE! I just wanted to pinch their cheeks off. Unfortunately, they did not play this song and my name is Anna so I was quite disappointed.

I believe it's "carless," also.
