Houses & Billboards Lyrics
Remember that last Friday before we left for Mexico?
we kissed and nothing seemed to matter like Billie Holiday might sing
and it rained and everything was going to be just fine-
it was like music-
and it makes me sad to know I had gotten into something that I could not deal with
and I will sit in my room and sleep all day
and think up dreams like I am the cutest kid in school or I could be crazy and sing about memories-
hey I remember when I sat on those steps watching the moon
chase the sky back until the world seemed like it would explode
and I could picture going up with it
it'd be just how I'd like to go and I'd sing.

Definately one of their best songs.
It's extremely under-rated, the breakdown at the end is one of the greatest pieces of music... ever.
you look adopted
Andy.... i so agree... i can tell which songs are special to him and which ones he just vented his thoughts on... this one is definately a special one... i bet he wrote all the guitar and parts too...its fuckin perfect... its like hes playing a movie for me in my head
the genius behind this song is amazing. this song is definitely underrated, even by me. i have always thought it was just mediocre until now.
this is one of my favorite std songs.
i think this song is how he got a chance with someone unattainable and it was too much for him
and it makes me sad to know I had gotten into something that I could not deal with
I couldn't believe it when I read this, that other people actually appreciated the breakdown, too. I had the breakdown stuck in my head for probably 3 days until I went through all my records to find the song.
This, Jodie, and Holly Hox Forget Me Nots are my favorite STD songs of all time.
I remember when I sat on those steps watching the moon chase the sky back until the world seemed like it would explode and I could picture going up with it it'd be just how I'd like to go and I'd sing.
::sigh:: I love this song.
I agree with you all. The breakdown is amazing! Totally underrated. I've had the whole last part on my away message thing, cuz I just love Chris's lyrics, and this is about the epitome of it...
Probably the most underrated Saves The Day song ever... screaming the breakdown when seeing them live brought tears to my eyes :)
