Sell My Old Clothes, I'm Off to Heaven Lyrics
When if you were by my side then we could share it but you're gone
So come at me with your moon and burn me in the stars
'Cause nothing matters anymore
Maybe just a minute
Just to ask
What he's got that I don't have?
Is it his brown eyes?
I'll wear dark glasses all the time
And hey, if you want me to, I'll take a knife to my own bright eyes
Maybe just a minute
Just to ask
What he's got that I don't have?
Is it his brown eyes?
Well, I'll give you a thousand reasons that tonight you should grant me this one wish
Now you put me through hell
You break me up, yeah
I should hate you, but I can't replace you in my heart
Why am I so pathetic?
I don't get it why you won't return my calls
And please if you got a minute
Enjoy this lonely sky with me
It'll swallow us whole if we only let it
Maybe just a minute
Just to ask
What he's got that I don't have?
Is it his brown eyes?
Well, I'll give you a thousand reasons that tonight you should grant me this one wish
Now you put me through hell
You break me up, yeah
If this sky's going to eat us then I'd like to be digested into
A million pieces with you
I'd love to be scattered to hell with you, to hell with you
To hell with you
"Is it his brown eyes? I know blue eyes get boring but I'll wear dark glasses all the time and hey if you want me to, I'll take a knife to my own bright eyes."
...seems desperate, but then he's like "To hell with you!" Have you ever really cared for someone to find out that they used you, but you still want them back so bad you'll do anything, but later you say to hell with them because it just hits you that you'll never get back together, you'll never talk to them again, there's nothing left, etc.., but you know later you're going to feel lost again? I think that's what this song is like
Saves the Day rules so much. i feel bad for starting to like them just recently.
First off, such a great song. The lyrics, music, vocals, everything. Saves the Day is such a good band..actually that's an understatement.
I found it interesting to hear him say blue eyes can get boring. I have brown eyes, and I always thought more people found them boring and that people generally liked blue eyes more. I don't know, maybe that theory is true despite what Chris wrote or maybe it's completely false and was never true to begin with. ANYWAYS, I myself love both eye colors, they're my two favorites and I could never choose one over the other. None of what I just wrote is important to the meaning of the song, I just found it interesting, don't mind me.
I think it's pretty clear that this song is about wanting to be with someone that doesn't quite feel the same way, or maybe it's just not possible for them to be together. This song deals with rejection - "I don't get it why you won't return my calls" Longing - "I'll give you a thousand reasons that tonight you should grant me this one wish" and all of the other lines about wanting to spend time with this person. and from the line "What he's got that I don't have?" I sense jealousy, since when someone you want wants to be with another person, you can't help but feel jealous of the person they want. This song is so easy for people to relate to, I think everyone has felt the things I mentioned above at some point in their lives. They did a wonderful job with this, one of my favorites by Saves the Day.
My friends recently got me into this band, and this is by far my favorite song by them. I think anyone who's ever been rejected by that one person who made their life whole will be able to relate to this song.
this song is my favorite song by std, it is so true, Chris is a fucking genius!!!!!
Also my favorite std song. And probably their best song live too.
yeah def. their best song live..2nd would be rockstonicjusicemagic. rock.
:0)
hahahahahahaha oh man, that sucked.
the title of this song is a mystery to me but I feel like its about rejection and all the insecurities that come with being rejected.
