Say goodbye, lose your friends, make them go, don't need them around
Cause it's time, lose your friends, make them go, was never supposed to be like this
They were too weak, too prone to break
Their needs too deep, their skin too thin
By now you took what was to take
Tear it apart and start again
So go on, if this will make you happier
It got you this far, did what you had to
You've wasted every moment of your Saturdays and your Sundays
You're wasted from the boredom, was never supposed to be like this
Like your father said, just do what was done unto you..always
In your father's steps you'll do what was done unto you
It won't be hard to start again
So go on, if this will make you happier
It got you this far, do what you have to
(Well you knew this would come)
And you're gone now
(And you've left me all alone)
And did it make you happier?
(And you're lost and long gone, don't take it so seriously)
It wasn't that hard
(Go on and get goin, I'm fine on my own)
Did what you had to
(We got you this far, finally got it figured out)
One more itch you son of a bitch
You've been wasting my time...always
And now you're half awake
You bend till you break
And make the same mistakes...always
So go on, if this will make you happier
It got you this far, do what you have to
(Well you knew this would come)
And you're gone now
(And you've left me all alone)
And did it make you happier?
(And you're lost and long gone, don't take it so seriously)
It wasn't that hard
(Go on and get goin, I'm fine on my own)
Did what you had to
(We got you this far, finally got it figured out)
this song, i believe, deals with something that everyone has had to deal with at one point in their lives: losing a friend to the "cool kids". In nearly every circle of friends there is a person who will undoubityly strive to be more popular. This song is a kind of kiss of to that friend...er...ex-friend.
Yeah, I know how this feels.
"You're lost and you're gone Don't take it so seriously"
That's the part that always gets to me. It's almost like it's sarcastic; their friend that's left doesn't seem to care. It's exactly how I feel about one of my "friends". She just distanced herself from me and it doesn't appear to be hurting her at all, while I kind of died on the inside.
Wow, cheesy much? Anyway, that's my input for now.
Hmm.. I think this song has to do with something we all have to do at some point in time, say goodbye to friend because of what they might have done or do. It kind of talks about the friend pushing someone to that point of: ALRIGHT. GO. NOW. I'M SICK OF THIS. or whatnot. And the lyrics in ( )'s are what the friend is saying, trying to say that it's nothing they're taking it all too seriously. Amazing song too <3 Really has helped me figure things out when I was all spazztic about the same sort of thing...
Wow i didnt even think about it that way, but now that i think about it, that REALLY REALLY makes sense.
this song is great. i love guster. I agree with lissy rats. This song makes alot more sense when you really read the words. what an interesting thing to sing about.
hmm.. i like that idea. I agree.. i know some of these people and it describes it perfectly. Good call =) peace
before i knew the rest of the words to this song, i thought it was my anthem - "you've wasted every moment of your saturdays and your sundays..." even though i know how it all goes now, and it's not really my song, i still love it.
guster rules... somebody message me if you know if they tour
the friend thing totally fits. before reading the other comments, i thought this was about someone moving away or making a big change in his or her life. they thought it'd be easy to start again in a new, better town/friends/etc., but it turns out to be difficult and they aren't as happy as they imagined they'd be in the new situation.
I agree that this song is about friendships... I think the person was in the wrong group because he/she didn't know where else to turn. Then one day he/she realized that they are better than that group of friends, and maybe is being held down by them. By leaving, a new world will open ahead.
