Q&A
Life as Expected Lyrics
pull back the sheets
and climb in bed with me.
we can talk all night.
I'm not tired, are you?
did you like the party?
did you see any pretty girls there?
not that it matters,
neither of us are alone
but sometimes it feels that way.
so I need a sign, give me your hand.
no more life as expected,
I'm through with the usual.
I want to fall in love
but if my mouth stays shut
and I don't speak up,
then she'll never know.
cause if I can't relax
and I can't tell her how I really feel.
what she really means to me.
the cops showed up about 1:45 a.m.
I didn't even notice
I was so immersed in conversation with you.
the band is too loud.
somebody tell them to turn down,
I don't want to hear a sound,
except for her voice,
except for her breath,
except for my beating heart
begging her to come closer and closer.
I want her close to me,
but if the 'hands don't crap'
and if I can't relax,
this is hopelessness
why do I even try?
because tonight will end
and then my life goes on,
like it always has,
like it is always going to.
the chorus is done
and we're still standing in our standard melody.
only one of us is alone,
and it's not you.
and climb in bed with me.
we can talk all night.
I'm not tired, are you?
did you like the party?
did you see any pretty girls there?
not that it matters,
neither of us are alone
but sometimes it feels that way.
so I need a sign, give me your hand.
no more life as expected,
I'm through with the usual.
I want to fall in love
but if my mouth stays shut
and I don't speak up,
then she'll never know.
cause if I can't relax
and I can't tell her how I really feel.
what she really means to me.
the cops showed up about 1:45 a.m.
I didn't even notice
I was so immersed in conversation with you.
the band is too loud.

only one of us is alone,
and it's not you.

My Collapsing Frame

I love this song. I think it's basicly about a guy that has a crush on a girl and he wants to tell her but she has a boyfriend.?.?. Conor's amazing... "I didn't even notice I was so immersed in conversation with you."
I like that lyric.
no this song is about him having a crush on a girl, and he wants to take it further, but he just cant get the nerve to do anything about it.
This and my collapsing frame are by far my favoritest songs in the world
I agree with emoeyes on this one, but ThingsIHaventToldU could still be right, it's one of those beautiful subjective songs of jilted romance
I think that it's him and another girl who is a friend but he wants more of her. They have a close relationship, but he seems to want more while she's pursing other guys.
'neither of us are alone' This line might be that he doesn't feel so alone when he's with her, and she doesn't feel alone because she's always got other boys.
By The Way: Live Footage.. There's a live video of this song on the "Spend An Evening With Saddle Creek" DVD released last year.. Seriously, its priceless.
Right Now this song is probably my favorite (since ive had a similar experience with this girl) I agree with 'ThingsIHaventToldU' as well for the meaning of this song. The guy has this crush on this girl but cannot go up to her (probably the guys all around her?)..
awesome song
