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

well..to me..this song is about this girl ive come to love..but the struggles of our relationship are always seemingly mine to bare...a girl that seems to be so great...but i feel that i always make the mistakes of pushing her away from me..whenever i really only mean to be pulling her closer..

this song is about this girl ive come to love..and how she seems to be so popular..and she gets to see the world..and just live this amazing life..the life i wish i couldve had..but its not about the life she lives..its about the life i see myself living when i think of my future with her..and she has these big dreams of becoming someone very important and meaningful to society..and i just have all the faith in the world in her..but i fear that i come between her and her big dreams..but the reality of my dreams..are her..and of course..like any relationship we've had problems..but..no matter how distant things seemed to become between us..we've always came to each other's rescue, and the relationship has grown that much stronger because of it..but i fear that i will be the downfall of the relationship because of things i cant control..and just..ive always wanted to learn to play guitar and see the world..and nothin more would i want then to show her the world because its all of the world she made possible to me..and for all the times i hurt her..i would just like to let her know that im sorry..sorry for not saying the things i shouldve said..because we both know what its like to be alone..and longing for each other..and if my life were to be cut short by inevitability or what have you..then there's no person i would be more willing to die for..then..my constantine..alexis.. (i cut this short because i could go on and on with the relations between this song and my relationship..but this is by far one of the most amazingly meaningful songs ive ever heard..)

well. i dunno, if anyone up there hasnt heard the newer version of the song [not on "Ready...Break" , on the welcome to the family compliation] it's so much better done than that original one. But yeah totally cool song, i just thought as long as every is talking about different constantines there was a constantine in greek mythology who was the king of some roman city i think and he's the one who allowed christianity into the world, but he wasn't really a good guy he supposedyl boiled his wife alive and such. So im sure this song couldnt be about him but i dunno, just so you know. ha.

THIS SONG IS AWESOME!!!! Hehe...its where i got my name from if you couldnt tell. I cry everytime I hear it...the emotion behind it is just so strong...i love it. A lot of people complain about the length...but if it was any shorter i dont thin they could have said it the same way. THe best line of the whoels ong to me is "I always catch the clock...it's 11:11" Theres something about that line that is just so...words cant describe. I think we've all felt the way he does in this song.

there's something about this song that sends shivers down my spine. maybe it's the vocals, maybe it's the piano or maybe it's just the words.. whatever it is, it makes this song amazing.

Ok this is the most amazing song i have ever heard. I wasn't expecting it to be this good when i DL it. But when i heard it, i was awstruck.

All i think of when i hear this song is my relationship with my ex-girlfriend. She was my first love, and i ended the relationship because i just couldn't be in a relationship with her. I regret it, but then again i dont. Its a on and off feeling i get.. sometimes im happy about it sometimes im not.

This is what i think that author is saying in the song.

He broke up with her, he still loves her but it was something he had to do. At first he's sorry he hurt her, but then he starts to miss her when all the little things remind him of her ( 11:11 ) and realizes that he has hurt himself just as much as he hurt her. And he hopes to one day regain the love that him and his girl once shared.

Not sure if it makes sense, but thats what i think.

This song means so many different things all at once. To me when I hear it, I think about a couple together in their high school years that are so in love.. but so different in many ways, including age. And the guy is a partier and drinks and she follows and they fall in love when really it doesn't help that they drink together.

I cannot get enough of this song. i went to a soco concert not too long ago. i hadn't ever heard of them before...and now i can't stop listening to them. They are just...amazing. The first time I heard this song was at that concert... and I was awestruck. I don't think i've gone a day since then without listening to it. I've never had a song affect me quite this way before. I thought i was the only one! and then i stumbled across this website and now i know i'm not alone in this. ;D

This song is the best relationship song I have ever heard. The emotion that he puts into it and some of the lines just make me sob.. Especially the lines about the hell he has put her through.. I need to play this for my ex just so he can know the hell he has put me through. Amazing song..

ashley007.. if you see this, the jimmy eat world reference is because when the lead singer was with his girlfriend (Konstantine, yes that was her name), they listened to jimmy eat world and he was making a reference to that night.. also the line, " and there was hope in me that i could take you there but dammit you're so young" is because the lead singer is only 18 and everyone else is twenty something..
