You Lost Me Lyrics
Behind the circle k,
where our bodies lay,
we took our lives away,
we wanted it this way.
Face down in the dirt,
in your mini-skirt,
teeth touch the tracks,
yeah I got your back.
I don't want you to see me this way,
What a way to die (in 1985)
Down in the ground we can sing from the grave,
take a breath, take a breath
I would never lie to you,
But I'm gonna have to tell the truth.
Ah-ahh, you lost me.
Down in the ground we can sing from the grave,
take a breath, take a breath
I would never lie to you,
But I'm gonna have to tell the truth.
Ah-ahh, you lost me.
Teenage metal heads,
in your denim vests,
cause you're holding hands,
through your favorite bands,
all your favorite bands.
Your not the only ones
down beneath the sun who never had any fun,
you walk around town with your heads way down.
I don't want you to see me this way,
What a way to die (in 1985)
Down in the ground we can sing from the grave,
take a breath, take a breath
I would never lie to you,
But I'm gonna have to tell the truth.
Ah-ahh, you lost me.
Down in the ground we can sing from the grave,
take a breath, take a breath
I would never lie to you,
But I'm gonna have to tell the truth.
Ah-ahh, you lost me.
where our bodies lay,
we took our lives away,
we wanted it this way.
in your mini-skirt,
teeth touch the tracks,
yeah I got your back.
What a way to die (in 1985)
take a breath, take a breath
I would never lie to you,
But I'm gonna have to tell the truth.
Ah-ahh, you lost me.
take a breath, take a breath
I would never lie to you,
But I'm gonna have to tell the truth.
Ah-ahh, you lost me.
in your denim vests,
cause you're holding hands,
through your favorite bands,
all your favorite bands.
down beneath the sun who never had any fun,
you walk around town with your heads way down.
What a way to die (in 1985)
take a breath, take a breath
I would never lie to you,
But I'm gonna have to tell the truth.
Ah-ahh, you lost me.
take a breath, take a breath
I would never lie to you,
But I'm gonna have to tell the truth.
Ah-ahh, you lost me.

“You Lost Me.” There were a lot of classic references that went into this song. It’s safe to say I was listening to a lot of Van Halen. I’m a massive Def Leppard fan. Hysteria is easily one of my favorite records of all time. Lyrically, this is one of the few songs I’ve ever written that actually has a real narrative. It’s not about any two people specifically, but it’s about a double suicide. A young couple who ended up committing suicide behind a Circle K. Imagine a couple in Florida, but maybe even the Midwest, and you’re the only two people in your school that listen to Metallica in 1985. You sort of bond over that, and that you have nothing in common with anybody else. It’s a youthful ignorance, a very romantic notion. It just ended up happening. Alexis and I started talking about it, and stumbled on this story. It felt like this was what the song was about.

I always hear the first or second, "what a way to die" as "but I'm ready to die." Even sadder.
