Dead On The Floor Lyrics
Like 2 ships in the night we’re colliding and sinking into the black sea of our love
We navigated past the port of logical thinking lost out of the stars up above
Now my heart is a mess but a scene in my chest not a clue how you got through the door
But I’m glad that you came, no regret and no shame
As I’m lying here dead on the floor
I took a blind leap of faith, its not scratching and burning with my heart fast asleep in your bed
I got on the ground safe but with my inside turning and a picture of you in my head
As I wandered awake deep in shock and dismay in a daze just repeating your name
Well the fact of the matter is both our hearts shattered into goddamn misery
When you asked me if I’d stay forever
I guess you meant just for the week
We felt so good together,It was way too good to me
When I left you there early that morning my darling I told you that I’d miss you so
I got on that plane with my heart soaring but now it’s falling like snow
Like 2 ships in the night we’re colliding and sinking into the black sea of our love
We navigated past the port of logical thinking lost out of the stars up above
Now my heart is a mess but a scene in my chest not a clue how you got through the door
But I’m glad that you came, no regret and no shame
As I’m lying here dead on the floor
When you asked me if I’d stay forever
I guess you meant just for the week
We felt so good together,It was way too good to be
When I left you there early that morning my darling I told you that I’d miss you so
I got on that plane with my heart soaring but now it’s falling like snow
Now it’s falling like snow
Now it’s falling like snow
Now it’s falling like snow
We navigated past the port of logical thinking lost out of the stars up above
Now my heart is a mess but a scene in my chest not a clue how you got through the door
But I’m glad that you came, no regret and no shame
As I’m lying here dead on the floor
I got on the ground safe but with my inside turning and a picture of you in my head
As I wandered awake deep in shock and dismay in a daze just repeating your name
Well the fact of the matter is both our hearts shattered into goddamn misery
I guess you meant just for the week
We felt so good together,It was way too good to me
When I left you there early that morning my darling I told you that I’d miss you so
I got on that plane with my heart soaring but now it’s falling like snow
We navigated past the port of logical thinking lost out of the stars up above
Now my heart is a mess but a scene in my chest not a clue how you got through the door
But I’m glad that you came, no regret and no shame
As I’m lying here dead on the floor
I guess you meant just for the week
We felt so good together,It was way too good to be
When I left you there early that morning my darling I told you that I’d miss you so
I got on that plane with my heart soaring but now it’s falling like snow
Now it’s falling like snow
Now it’s falling like snow
Now it’s falling like snow

The acoustic version is awesome.
Such a beautiful and well written song. It is my favorite off the new album.
Correct lyrics:
Like two ships in the night we're colliding and sinking into the black sea of our love We navigated past the point of logical thinking lost sight of the stars up above
Now my heart is a mess, murder scene in my chest not a clue how you got through the door But I'm glad that you came, no regret and no shame As I'm lying here dead on the floor
I took a blind leap of faith, its now crashing and burning with my heart fast asleep in your bed I got on the ground safe, but with my insides turning and a picture of you in my head
As I wandered away deep in shock and dismay in a daze just repeating your name Well the fact of the matter is both our hearts shatter way too goddamn easily...

pretty certain it's port, like in ocean to do with docking and how he skipped that stop and went straight into love's oblivion "whirl pool"

should of thought logically first of this but was love blinded

It's point. Port makes sense and I thought it was too but this is directly from booklet in the cd case.

Best song off the new album by far. I really like the last line of the chorus, "I got on the plane with my heart soaring, now it's falling like snow"
and Dan's backing vocals are awesome.
Maybe I don't like change or something, but this new album doesn't sound too good to me.
They sound like they want to get back to the old Goddamnit sound, and opening does that. The voice though, it's just too smooth, too produced. Before, when Matt still did coke, his voice was raspy, which was a great thing. This album, along with Agony and Irony, just sounds too smooth. :(
Also, their lyrics seem to have gotten simpler. I mean, they're still good, but songs like Blue in the Face had soo many meanings you could get from it, these songs are just straightforward, they're exactly what you think they mean.
this album is less produced than the last 2...especially the last one irony & agony (on epic). they did this one on their own and then handed it to epitaph as was. matt's raspy voice had nothing to do with his coke habit he had vocal cord surgery.

i think this is definitely better than the last 2. they've never been known to have complex lyrics and i think that's why so many relate to them. now that matt's (was) heartbroken again his lyrics are the way they should be!

can you blame someone for wanting to do more with there life than blow coke and and be poor. Skiba had to grow up sometime and his music was bound to reflect that

yes that's true... he could of stopped doing coke, but the coke is a minor thing. they didn't have to release two sellout CDs to get money and the voice isn't my main reason to dislike the album. their lyrics are horrible now, they aren't clever or anything... and now they have nothing that sounds like alkaline trio anymore. They sound like any other band.

Well the fact of the matter is both our hearts shattered "way to goddamn easily"
I got on that plane with my heart soaring, but now it's falling like snow.
This is definitely my fav of the new album.
I don't understand how you can say the lyrics have gotten simpler.I find them well thought out and placed just right with great rythm.I'm still trying to decipher lyrics and find out what they are all about like Abraxas
I know this feeling all too well. A week of love before one of you has to leave and go back home.
