"you would go back once your feelings were reaped before our aptitude when you found me here in the fair..." personally i prefer the armchair martian cover, tis all good :)

so in conclusion:

forgive you, thats what you want you roll back and you're wasted, and i'm all torn up i bury promise here you would go back once your feelings were reaped before our aptitude when you found me here in the fair no one here can sing your song just stand by the idiots and sing along i bet you loved before, when you were a flower on the wall i built to block up the bricks i used to need no one there can sing your song just stand by the idiots and sing along

i think these lyrics need some corrections but i just cant figure it out what the missing words are... i think its more like forgive you, thats what you want you roll back and you're wasted, and i'm all torn up i bury promise here you would come back once your feelings are.. (i have no idea) ...when you found me here and not there no one here can sing your song just stand by the idiots and sing along i bet you loved before, when you were a flower on the wall i built to block up the bricks i used to ?? no one there can sing your song just stand by the idiots and sing along

but i'm sure this need some corrections as well :)

I think it's "I used to need..."

i really appreciate songs like this, not many bands can pull this off, and not sound whiny, but Lagwagon can.

i think all their harder stuff is Rad, but its impressive when a band makes a series of softer (and i mean this in the most respectful sense) songs, but still doesn't alienate their fan base, or make itself look stupid.

Hey guys, I'm pretty sure none of you got the lyrics quite right yet. Listen to the acoustic version to hear the words clearly... Here's what I hear:

Forgive you, if that's what you want. You roll back and your wasted, and I'm all torn up.

I buried promise here. You would come back once your feeling sorry for all that you were when you found me here in the clear. No one here can sing your song. Just stand by the idiots and sing along.

I've let you love before, when you were a flower on the wall I built to block out the drapes I used to need. But no one here can sing my (your) song. Just stand by the idiots and sing along.

The song's meaning seems pretty obvious to me. He's talking to a friend, possibly himself, that has withdrawn from those around them. The cause of their suffering isn't made clear which makes the meaning pretty flexible. It means different things to me at different times, but in the end Joey tells us to buck-up. You've loved before, you can do it again. Just pretend to enjoy the people you've been hiding from and eventually you'll realize life is not so bleak.

I'm pretty sure this song is about Derrik Plourde and his struggles with addiction.

The correct lyrics:

Forgive you If that's what you want But you roll back and you're wasted And I'm all torn up I bury promise here You would come back Once you're feeling sorry For all that you were When you found me Here in the clear No one here Can sing your song Just stand by the idiots and sing along I've let you lie before When you were a flower on the wall I built to block out the dregs I used to need No one there Can sing your song Just stand by the idiots and sing along
