Always Lyrics

I should've known with a boy like you
Your middle name is Always
I'd always love you

You let the needle drop
I think that you could do so much better
Those conventions are taking their toll on you

The phantom is disguised
It's horrifying, right before your eyes
The phantom is inside

And I should've known with a boy like you
Your middle name is Always
I'd always want you

The phantom is disguised
It's horrifying, right before your eyes
The phantom is inside
It's hideous, right before your eyes
The phantom is watching you
The phantom is watching you

always.

it means there's always going to be something between them.

that's what the phantom is, the passion and love between them. and she sees it but, he doesn't. classic case of you don't see what's right in front of you.

sigh What heartbroken girl can't relate to this? Although I've yet to figure out who or what "the phantom" is. I ALMOST want to say that it somehow has something to do with Phantom Planet because they've done a lot of shows with them and what not. I think I'm just grasping on that one, though... Any ideas?

I think the phantom is the guy that he pretends to be... Maybe she's in love with the real him, but she can't take who he acts like. Kind of ties in with "Those conventions are taking their toll on you" just a thought

gah'thats'cute. it sounds like some background music to a video game, but i enjoy it...

i think the phantom is the man underneath the man she doesn't even know. "The phantom is disguised. The phantom is inside."

good stuff.

... ive always thought it was about being in love with a star wars geek.

"conventions"? "phantom"? heh. maybe i take things too literally, although id be pleased if someone had the same thought.

Cover art for Always lyrics by Rilo Kiley

haha great point about the star wars. but i dont know.

i think its about this girl who likes this guy and just as a figure of speech says his name is "always" because shell always want him.

i adore how rilo kiley can put so much understanding into a song, without it making you go into emotion overload.
