My father said, "Don't be so scared"
Driving home all alone
You're in a hospital bed i close my eyes
Ignore the sun try to wake up from the dream
It's not working this time

If I said your name 27 times
Would that bring you back to life?
If I said your name 27 times
Would that bring you back to life?

Do you remember your lucky number?
Your superstition has me buried
Six feet under

If I said your name 27 times
Would that bring you back to life?
If I said your name 27 times
Would that bring you back to life?

Do you remember your lucky number?
Do you remember your lucky number?

If I said your name 27 times
Would that bring you back to life?
If I said your name 27 times
Would that bring you back to life?

    General Commentits really hard to determine the actual story behind this song.
    its pretty clear that its tryin to get a person to be back to who they were, from what they became
    do you remember your lucky number? i said your name 27 times, would that bring you back to life.
    tryin to get things back to how they were, bringing them back.(the past)

    but the intro sounds like maybe they got hurt really bad and there dad was helping them or something?
    idunno it would be cool to hear others opinions on this song cause its really interesting

    General CommentSuch a powerful song! I tend to take it pretty literally and think the singer is referring of a loved one who was actually seriosuly injured and they long for them to recover.

    General CommentI'm wondering if maybe he lost a friend and he's talking about his grief.

    My InterpretationI think this is about his mother maybe, or girlfriend. But i feel like if it was his mother his father wouldnt just be like, "My father said dont be so scared" im sure if his wife was hurt he would be a little panicked
    and maybe this person in the hospital bed may have died or is about to die so hes like "your superstition has be buried 6 feet under" that person in the bed was probably really superstitious and he was probably very critical of their intense seriousness of superstitions so hes probably like, "okay you believe in all these things i'll try it out if it brings you back to life"

    its a real great song with such great lyrics to interpret to anyone in your life. wonderful song with great passion, sadness, and determination to not let someone go in their life so quickly

    Song MeaningI was told that this song is about Jamie's father who passed away. It is about his father telling him not to be afraid that he is dying and what ensues is his depression and lack of ability to cope with what happened. "I said your name 27 times will that bring you back to life?" wishing that his father would come back.
