Out The Window Lyrics
Life was fun
life was great
til I made my big mistake
oh no it'll never happen to me
life was short
and life was sweet
I was thinking as I hit the street
I could hardly beleve
I could scarcely conceive
but I had gone out the window
I had gone out the window
I had gone out the window
she was fine
she looked great
and so we made our big mistake
I swear I swear I swear
it'd never happen to her
but the pavement knocked her head around
when she hit the solid concrete ground
from 30 flights above
and she was thirty something loving nothing
gone out the window
she had gone out the window
she had gone out the window
catch me if I'm falling,
catch me if I'm calling
he was smart he was wise
he'd profoundly philosophize
empathy for all humanity
'til one day by an open window
there's a note that read
I've gone out the window - I'm dead
he said yes to life for all of his life
but then one day he said no
I gotta go out the window
we all go out the window
catch me i am falling
catch me I am calling
catch me we are falling
catch me we are calling
life was great
til I made my big mistake
oh no it'll never happen to me
life was short
and life was sweet
I was thinking as I hit the street
I could hardly beleve
I could scarcely conceive
but I had gone out the window
I had gone out the window
I had gone out the window
she was fine
she looked great
and so we made our big mistake
I swear I swear I swear
it'd never happen to her
but the pavement knocked her head around
when she hit the solid concrete ground
from 30 flights above
and she was thirty something loving nothing
gone out the window
she had gone out the window
she had gone out the window
catch me if I'm falling,
catch me if I'm calling
he was smart he was wise
he'd profoundly philosophize
empathy for all humanity
'til one day by an open window
there's a note that read
I've gone out the window - I'm dead
he said yes to life for all of his life
but then one day he said no
I gotta go out the window
we all go out the window
catch me i am falling
catch me I am calling
catch me we are falling
catch me we are calling

Man! You missed out BIG time! If they're in town again... GO! I really like this song too, it's oddly upbeat for a song dealing with suicide. And do yourself a favour, bookmark their website, check it daily and as soon as gig near you is listed book a ticket..... Love it!!!!
i love this song, yeah i definetly had no idea it was about suicide...wow...how slow am i?
Yeah, I know this isn't right, but this song always reminded me of when Cameron (from Ferris Bueller's Day Off) kicked his pop's Ferrari out of the window. Look at it a while...you'll make the connections.
Yep, suicide. I think he just has enough of this chick and he's so high sprited and she upset him and he just takes her with him-but leaves a note. She must not have been able to read his handwriting. "We're what!" and she changes his mind on the way donw. Must be a New York couple. They're pretty high up. Maybe
Watch Crimes and Misdemeanors by Woody Allen. This song is most likely inspired by a scene from the movie (with almost identical lines), in which a Philosophy professor commits suicide by jumping out his window. The suicide note simply says "I went out the window."
Reminds me of the Velvet Underground. Lou Reed-ish.
And Cake. but that's just because they have the song "Guitar." ("If I threw my guitar, out the window...")
