Lyrics for Konstantine as interpreted by MusicEqualsLife

Konstantine Lyrics
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 clover
And you're restless, and I'm naked
You've got to get out
You can't stand to see me shaking, no
Could you let me go?
I didn't think so

And you don't want to be here in the future
So you say the present's just a pleasant
Interruption to the past
And you don't want to look much closer
Because you're afraid 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 you're alone
And I'm sleeping in your living room
But we don't have much room to live

I had these dreams in them I learned 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

Then you'd bring me home
Because 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
What I was thinking
We've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere

My Konstantine came walking down the stairs
And all that I could do is touch her long blonde hair
And I've been thinking
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
And now you want to 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 Konstantine
You spin around me like a dream
We played out on this movie screen
And I said
Did you know I missed you?
Did you know I missed you?
Did you know I missed you?
Did you know I missed you?
Did you know I missed you?
Did you know I missed you?
Did you know I missed you?
I miss you

And then you bring me home
And we'll go to sleep, but this time not alone, no, no
And you'll kiss me in your living room
I know
You'll miss me in your living room
Because these nights I think maybe that
I'll miss you in my living room
We don't have much room
I said does anybody need that room?
Because we all need a little more room
To live

My Konstantine

This song hurts because for some reason it makes me think about leaving my girlfriend when we go off to college. A lot of the lines have signifigant meanings for me. I know that I'll be crying over this one in the future. I'm not quite sure what "Konstantene" is. Is it a name? Somebody help me out.

This song is amazing. I listen to it a lot and it reminds me of my recent ex who broke my heart. I'm not quite sure what Konstantine means either, but if I guess at it I'd say that my ex will always be my Konstantine too.

This song is about the lead singers ex. When they play it live, he changes the end of the song to fit whatever is going on in their relationship at that time.

i was wondering about the mentioning of the band Jimmy Eat World ("it's to jimmy eat world and those nights in my car"). How does that fit into he song? Also does anyone else hear "its jut this guilt has got the best of me" instead of "please don't think that this is easy" in the last line of the fifth paragraph? do i have different version?

konstantine is the name of the girl its about. there are various versions of the name such as konstantina (a secretary at my dads office). the jimmy eat world reference, they were listening to jimmy eat world in his car. 'for me this is heaven' to be exact. that is why they quote the song. as for the overall effect of the song, i have never had a song make me cry as much as this one. ive stayed up all night listening to this song, drinking because of a broken heart. my applause to something corporate, for making such a beautiful song. one of the best love songs ever written.

This song is absolutely beautiful. Every time I hear it, my heart aches a little bit more as I think of past relationships. It sounds cheesy, I know, but it has this amazing effect on me.

Absolute Perfection. The first time I heard this song I was at my boyfriend's house and we had just finished watching slc punk. The ending of that movie left me in tears and we went downstairs and he put on this song. The melody of it and just everything about it made me feel so much. "Beauty" is the only word I can think of to descibe this song

I recommend that you all copy and paste these fine lyrics to a Word document; Size 4 font (Verdana) and print on a 3" x 5" index card.
Keep it in your pocket :)
Good times!
