i have loved this song for well over 8 years. might be my all-time favorite.
“I can’t imagine all the people that you know
and the places that you go
when the lights are turned down low
And I don’t understand all the things you’ve seen
but I’m slipping in between
you and your big dreams
It’s always you
in my big dreams
And you tell me that it’s over
wake up lying in a patch of four leaf clovers
and you’re restless
and I’m naked
You gotta get out
You cant stand to see me shaking
No, and you let me go?
I didn’t think so
And you don’t wanna be here in the future
You say the present’s just a pleasant interuption to the past
And you don’t wanna look much closer
cause you’re afriad to find out all this hope
you had sent into the sky by now had
crashed
And it did
because of me
And then you bring me home
afraid to find out that your alone
And I’m sleeping in your living room
but we don’t have much room to live
And I had these dreams that I might learn to play guitar
maybe cross the country
become a rock star
And there was hope in me that I could take you there
but damnit you’re so young
well I don’t think I care
and if I hurt you
then I’m sorry
Please don’t think that this was easy
And then you bring me home
cause we both know what it’s like to be alone
And I’m dreaming in your living room
but we don’t have much room to live
And Konstantine is walking down the stairs
Doesn’t she look good
standing in her underwear
And I was thinking, that i was thinking we’ve been drinking and it doesnt get me anywhere
My Konstantine came walking down the stairs
and all that I could do was touch her long blonde hair
and I’ve been thinking
but it hurts me thinking
that these nights when we were drinking
No they never got us anywhere
No
This is because I can spell confusion with a ‘K’
and I can like it
It’s to dying in another’s arms
and why I had to try it
It’s to Jimmy Eat World
and those nights in my car
When the first star you see
may not be a star
I’m not your star
isn’t that what you said?
What you thought this song meant?
And if this is what it takes
just to lie with my mistakes
And live with what I did to you
all the hell I put you through
I always catch the clock
it’s 11:11
now you wanna talk
It’s not hard to dream
you’ll always be my Konstantine
my Konstantine
they’ll never hurt you like I do
No they’ll never hurt you like I do
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
This is to a girl
who got into my head
with all the pretty things she did
Hey,
you know,
you keep me up in bed
This is to a girl
who got into my head
with all these fucked up things I did
Hey,
maybe,
baby you could keep me up in bed
my Konstanine
You spin around me like a dream
we played out on this movie screen
and I said
Did you know I missed you? (x7)
I miss you.
And then you bring me home
and we go to sleep
but this time not alone
and I know
and you’ll kiss me in your living room
I know
I know you miss me in your living room
Cause these nights I think
maybe that I miss you in my living room
but we dont have much room
I said does anybody need that room
because we all need a little more room
to live
my Konstantine…”
