You Be Tails, I'll Be Sonic

What this song means to me is the writer is going through a rough time after a relationship. He feels like he wasn't good enough for her, or maybe that he just did stupid things to ruin it. Eithier way he feels like he ruined something good in his life and its tearing him apart. I will break down the main lines. Again this is what the song means to me, I am not saying this is what it means to the writer.

"I'm a mess, that's the best to describe it. Having no time to myself's the only way i can fight it. When I'm alone, it's like I'm staring into a mirror. Don't know the person inside and that's never been any clearer."

Like I said he was in a great relationship and he probably was happier than he ever thought he would be. He feels like he wasn't good enough for it and its his falt its over. When he has time to sit and reflect on his past it tears him apart so he does his best to keep himself busy. He basicly is starting to feel like he doesn't know himself anymore and really hates how he is.

"I miss your family and I miss all our friends, if you had a "to do over", would you do it over again? Cause I would. This meant something to me, there's a hole in my heart where you used to be."

Just talking about how much he misses her and wishes he could do things over again.

"I still wish you the best of luck baby, and don't go thinking this was a waste of time. I couldn't forget you if I tried. You killed what was left of the good in me. I'm tired, so let me be broken. Look down at the mess that's in front of me. No other words need be spoken. I've got nobody else to blame though I tried. Kept all our past mistakes held inside, I'll live with regret for my whole life."

He blames himself completely. He tried to act like it wasn't all his falt and not be so hard on himself but deep down he honestly thinks he was just not good enough. The last line just sums up the entire thing really. No matter how hard he tries he just can't get past it and will always have a little bit of regret.

"I confess, I brought this all on myself. Condemned to suffer along like there's nobody else. When you're gone, it's like a whole part of me's missing, so I'll keep living the lie, and just hope that you're listening."

Again he is admitting that he just wasn't good enough and he feels like he will never be good enough for anyone and will be alone forever.

This is my favorite song on the new album. I think mostly because the words really hit home for me.

Alright, just read the rest of the lyrics and there are a LOT of mistakes, so here are the full CORRECT lyrics from the audiobook.

"You Be Tails, I'll Be Sonic" by A Day to Remember

I'm a mess, that's the best to describe it. Having no time to myself's the only way i can fight it. When I'm alone, it's like I'm staring into a mirror. Don't know the person inside and that's never been any clearer. I miss your family and I miss all our friends, if you had a "to do over", would you do it over again? Cause I would. This meant something to me, there's a hole in my heart where you used to be.

I still wish you the best of luck baby, and don't go thinking this was a waste of time. I couldn't forget you if I tried. You killed what was left of the good in me. I'm tired, so let me be broken. Look down at the mess that's in front of me. No other words need be spoken. I've got nobody else to blame though I tried.

I tried to make us a life here, but our foundation was built on sand. No time to run until the damage was done. I never had the upperhand.

I still wish you the best of luck baby, and don't go thinking this was a waste of time. I couldn't forget you if I tried. You killed what was left of the good in me. I'm tired, so let me be broken.

Kept all our past mistakes held inside, I'll live with regret for my whole life.

All the things you love are all the things I hate. How did we get here in the first place?

I play it cool, but it's hard to be. All my trust is slowly fading inside of me. Over what? There can't be anymore progress, I know our fate. Only thing that can heal this is time and space.

For my whole life.

(This is a correction to my correction, I thought the entire chorus was sang through at the end, but Jeremy doesn't repeat the beginning of it. I apologize. Guess I'll be more careful next time I type the chorus and decide to copy and paste it instead of retyping it every time haha)

I guess you have to understand how long Jeremy and Keri dated and how much they meant to each other to really understand this song. This record is deep as fuck. Incredible

sick breakdown.

these cant be official?

well seeing as i just listened to the song and compared it to the lyrics, i'd say they are... siiiiick song by the way

Oh you listened? Then you'd know that parts dont match up.

"All but your cold blood inside your mind (All my trust) Is always burning inside of me (All the way) I can't make any more progress I know I'll faint The only thing that can heal this this time is space"

-first line is wrong, dont know what he says but it isnt that. -last line is, "The only thing that can heal this is time and space"

"All but your cold blood inside your mind (All my trust) Is always burning inside of me (All the way) I can't make any more progress I know I'll faint The only thing that can heal this is time and space"

Should be:

"I play it cool, but it's hard to be. All my trust is slowly fading inside of me. Over what? There can't be anymore progress, I know our fate. Only thing that can heal this is time and space."

"What doesn't make us alive here But our foundation was built for sin Now stop and run until the damage was done And I've never had the upper hand"

Should be:

"I tried to make us a life here, but our foundation was built on sand. No time to run until the damage was done. I Never had the upperhand."

My corrections are 100% correct. I've just read them from the digital audiobook :)

Alright, just read the rest of the lyrics and there are a LOT of mistakes, so here are the full CORRECT lyrics from the audiobook.
