Thanks for posting the additional lyrics! Grammatically, the third and fourth lines should be changed from "I would of been" to "I would have been." The kind of pet peeves a B.A. in English gives you... :-P

Such a beautiful, epic song about a relationship ended too soon. "I'll give you everything that you need / If you want my blood, let me bleed / If you want a ghost, then that's what I'll be." The pain of still wanting to be that person's everything after they've decided they've moved on is so real.

I'm intrigued by the subtle religious references in the baptism imagery and the line "If you remain in me / I will remain in you." May have been unintentional, but grabbed me just the same.

Lyric Correction

i interested in the rel. references as well. either way, such beautiful lyrics: " i would've been the one baptized in all your water / i would've been the one submerged under your rain," and i love when he says "if you remain in me / i will remain in you"

he could just be using it metaphorically... like, using religiosity to confer severity or intensity to the relationship.

*i am interested couldn't just let that go.
