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 is so beautiful. I can't identify with it, but I absolutely love hearing his voice and the melodic music. I have both a live version and then this version and the lyrics change slightly, but its still so wonderfully amazing. All of their songs I've listened to are amazing and I can say I seriously love these guys. Bravo.

This is one of the most beautiful songs. Words can't even describe how I feel when I listen to it. I cried so hard the first time I listened to it. I can totally identify with it, and I know I'll always be thinking about my Konstantine...

This is SUCH a beautiful song. You can just feel how he feels. I think in the song he has broken up with his girlfriend, or whichever, and he really wants her back. Like he's obsessed with her, but he loves her so much. It's just so pretty. I love the piano in it too.

This song means a great deal to me and reminds me of all the dumb things I have done to a girl and how I am told to be a perfect gentleman. After I listen to this song...I am sound and nothing bothers me. And I listen to this song wherever and whenever I can.

My boyfriend and I broke up after a year and a half, after I moved 48 hours away and we couldn't handle it. I went back to visit the old town where he lived, he took me out in his car, parked it and played this song...
It made us realize how much we love each other...and we're in the process of leaving the past behind us and getting back together.
thank-you SC

I am Caroline's boyfriend. After the song (konstantine) was over that night in my car, her and I talked. We both realized we love each other. Konstantine is reminder of how love can over come hurt, and that night it helped Caroline and I over come our hurt from the past and look to our future together. Even with 48 hours I will always be there for you Caroline.
So I to would like to thank you SC for bringing to reality a love for two worth a second chance

something corporate has rekindled my love for the piano. this is such and amazing song. it touches something. you could take that the wrong way. but for a non-emotional jackass like myself, this song makes me teary eyed and what not.

i don't think knstantine has one specific meaning. no matter what kind of love crisis youare in a any given time, this song sounds like it was written for you. The beauty of this song can not be perfectly expressed into words. which is exactly why sc is amazig

Aah...great song!

but I always thought it was "we don't have much room to love" instead of "we don't have much room to live"

The first time i heard this song happened to be the day me and my long term boyfriend seperated. I agree with which much of you said. This song doesnt have a meaning and no matter what you are going through, some parts of this song will portray to you, partially because the song is so long, but because the lyrics are so much different then the ones you hear on the radio. These are real. Thank god for SC

This song is soooooooo beautiful, I can't really relate to it, I'm very very happy in my relationship, but it can still make me cry, because you can just feel every emotion, the way he sings it, you can feel what he's feeling, and then the beautiful piano... god, I'm crying now, because I'm listening it for the 4th time in a row. This is my new favourite song ever, I love it so much.

Listening to it now... it does remind me of my previous b/f... I treated him like crap... and he still loved me... *sighs*... *tears*

SC is the best!!! they are so good!!

someone asked what konstantine was...and...you know...almost 4 months later i thought i'd throw my two cents in...and be captain obvious. heh.

konstantine is somewhat of a play on words. it's symbolic for exactly what it sounds like...something constant. this song isn't necessarily about a girl named konstantine...but someone who, perhaps, has been the only thing consistent in his life...or could symbolize his constant love for her...or could symbolize the guilt/pain that never goes away...

i think...the line in there about spelling "konfusion with a k" plays a part in this as well...

perhaps there's confusion about the whole relationship [the jimmy eat world reference]...which can be seen by spelling both konfusion and konstantine with a k...

i dunno. just thought i'd throw that out there. i think the lyrics to this song are beyond the mushy piano riffs and wailing voice...

this song is amazing. its like a drug.
its almost as though he is taking you step by step through the relationship and how it is in his head, he is singing it totally from the heart and you can tell, you can tell when you hear it and you can tell when you watch him.
its amazing.
..i get this outstanding mental picture of it all every time i listen to it.. and then i totally connect with the song. haha i looove it.
*sigh*
mmm... its candy to my ears.
