Troubled Times Lyrics
When you think you've found something worth holding onto
Were you reaching for attention, hoping she would notice you
Collecting bottles and thrown-away cans
Like she was returnable
One day would refill your hands
How she loved you, all you imagined
Fit so well into your plans
Maybe one day soon
It'll all come out
How you dreamed about each other sometimes
With a memory of
How you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times
Pining away every hour in your room
Rolling with the motion, waiting till it's opportune
Sitting there watching time fly past you
Why do tomorrow
What you could never do
How she loved you
All you imagined
All the shit you put her through
Maybe one day soon
It'll all come out
How you dreamed about each other sometimes
With a memory of
How you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times
And it takes alot of nerve to ask how she is doing
Start with a weak foundation, you will end in ruins
The way the days and hours pass you'll never understand
Falling like rain through your hands
Maybe one day soon
It'll all come out
How you dreamed about each other sometimes
With a memory of
How you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times
Were you reaching for attention, hoping she would notice you
Collecting bottles and thrown-away cans
Like she was returnable
One day would refill your hands
How she loved you, all you imagined
Fit so well into your plans
Maybe one day soon
It'll all come out
How you dreamed about each other sometimes
With a memory of
How you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times
Pining away every hour in your room
Rolling with the motion, waiting till it's opportune
Sitting there watching time fly past you
Why do tomorrow
What you could never do
How she loved you
All you imagined
All the shit you put her through
Maybe one day soon
It'll all come out
How you dreamed about each other sometimes
With a memory of
How you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times
And it takes alot of nerve to ask how she is doing
Start with a weak foundation, you will end in ruins
The way the days and hours pass you'll never understand
Falling like rain through your hands
Maybe one day soon
It'll all come out
How you dreamed about each other sometimes
With a memory of
How you once gave up
But you made it through the troubled times

i used to listen to this song and hope that the girl i fancied dreamt about me. i guess she never did. really cool song, one of the best from the album. anyways, that's what i think...
These guys are really soothing. LoL I dig the simple guitar parts and fairly deep lyrics. This song always makes me think of that specail girl to me so yeah. totally awesome. ~The -BarCodeSoldier-
my ex that was my first love used to play this on the phone and then he let me borrow the cd and then we broke up. i listen to it still wishing we were back together. blah fuck bad times
this song makes me think of me and my bf breaking up too. i listened to it nonstop for about a week and then we got back together. so now its like our song.
The way the days and hours pass you'll never understand Falling like rain through your hands
those are my favorite lines; written and sung beautifully. FoW are my heroes!
i broke up with my girl to see what else was out there but i know now what a mistake that was. I am doing everything to get her back and singing this song to her is going to be the next thing i do.
Well odiggy, you're situation's pretty much the same story as the song. The character in the song tries to "trade in his girlfriend", and soon figures out that relationships just don't work that way.
Guys, it's FoW-- don't read too much into the lyrics.
The song is so obviously about a guy who is into a girl that probably doesn't even know he's alive, and how he lives this fantasy that someday it'll turn out she feels the same way about him. The "moral" of the song is essentially "don't give up". The lyrics indicate that if he gives up, this fantasy can never become reality. So why bother trying? Well, because you never know! You never will know with another person if you don't try.
