Blame Me! Blame Me! Lyrics
And we could ride all night
To the pace of the blinking light
Wishing traffic was faster (traffic was faster)
Keeping safe distance, but courting disaster
We could dance all night
To the sounds of a starting fight
Hoping change would come around (change would come around)
Amazing division, how sweet the sound
Blame me! Blame me! Blame me!
For mistakes you’ve made but you can’t own
Hate me, hate me, hate me
For every honest word that you’ve postponed
Leave me out of this
Your life’s a sinking ship, so
Blame me, blame me, blame me
For mistakes you’ve made but you can’t own
And we could stare all day
At problems that won’t go away
Silence is pounding (silence is pounding)
You’re wearing me down, these corners they’re rounding
Then we could scream all night
With no resolve still left in sight
Stop saying you’re sorry
All of these words feel so very empty
Blame me! Blame me! Blame me!
For mistakes you’ve made but you can’t own
Hate me, hate me, hate me
For every honest word that you’ve postponed
Leave me out of this
Your life’s a sinking ship, so
Blame me, blame me, blame me
For mistakes you’ve made but you can’t own
Torturing ourselves, we must be into the abuse
If you’re the rope that ties us together
Please make me a noose
Ask me to leave
Then beg me just to stay
Used to run to my arms, but now I walk away
Come and go as you please
I’m like a part-time lover with well-worn knees
Well, come on
Blame me! Blame me! Blame me!
For mistakes you’ve made but you can’t own
Hate me, hate me, hate me
For every honest word that you’ve postponed
Leave me out of this
Your life’s a sinking ship, so
Blame me, blame me, blame me
For mistakes you’ve made but you can’t own
To the pace of the blinking light
Wishing traffic was faster (traffic was faster)
Keeping safe distance, but courting disaster
To the sounds of a starting fight
Hoping change would come around (change would come around)
Amazing division, how sweet the sound
For mistakes you’ve made but you can’t own
Hate me, hate me, hate me
For every honest word that you’ve postponed
Leave me out of this
Your life’s a sinking ship, so
Blame me, blame me, blame me
For mistakes you’ve made but you can’t own
At problems that won’t go away
Silence is pounding (silence is pounding)
You’re wearing me down, these corners they’re rounding
With no resolve still left in sight
Stop saying you’re sorry
All of these words feel so very empty
For mistakes you’ve made but you can’t own
Hate me, hate me, hate me
For every honest word that you’ve postponed
Leave me out of this
Your life’s a sinking ship, so
Blame me, blame me, blame me
For mistakes you’ve made but you can’t own
If you’re the rope that ties us together
Please make me a noose
Ask me to leave
Then beg me just to stay
Used to run to my arms, but now I walk away
Come and go as you please
I’m like a part-time lover with well-worn knees
Well, come on
For mistakes you’ve made but you can’t own
Hate me, hate me, hate me
For every honest word that you’ve postponed
Leave me out of this
Your life’s a sinking ship, so
Blame me, blame me, blame me
For mistakes you’ve made but you can’t own

"i'm a part time lover, with well worn knees." Amazing!
I'm not too sure about the gleamings, I think it might be another "Blame Me."
Seems like Stephen's girlfriend wasn't too kind to him.
Correction on the last verse.
Torturing ourselves We must be into the abuse If you're the rope that ties us together Then please make me a new sad speech Or leave and beg me just to stay Used to run to my arms But now I'm pulling away Come and go as you please I'm like a part time lover With well worn knees Well come on
I agree with your corrections, spare two lines..

I think, instead, it's..

That last word was supposed to be stay. Whoops.

i think the second line says "to the pace of a blinking light", not place... but that might have been a typing error.. maybe? i dont know.
"i'm a part time lover, with well worn knees." Amazing!
No, it really does say "lights on sinking ships are gleaming". You know, like people that're going down, but doing it in style?
"Amazing division, how sweet the sound." What a great line. Stephen never fails to amaze me. :)
I adore this song. The part that jumps out to me most is: And we could ride all night To the pace of a blinking light (About continuing life, going through the day-to-day motions and patterns) Wishing traffic was faster (wishing for change, but the change doesn't seem probable or accessible) Keeping safe distance (not rocking the boat) But courting disaster (knowing things are about to fall apart)
I think the song is about a relationship that's slowly falling apart, since the people aren't treating each other right. They are letting things go, when they should be addressed, and being victimized by, and victimizing the other person. The relationship is going to pieces, because it isn't being maintained.
Mrwonderr, I think your lyrics corrections are right, but I prefer the mistake ones! haha.
I think it's about a relationship that's falling apart, but the girl is blaming him for the break, and not owning up. Something like that. :)
Soo...I really wanna know what he means by "life is a sinking ship"
Originally, it was "Your life's a sinking ship". That's how he kept it in the CD insert. I think he cut off the "your" to get the line to fit.
