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

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 so i was told

this song brings a smile to people who feel happy, and it brings a teat to those who feel sad.
it's the magic in music...

a melody can say so much more than a word.

This is the most amazin song ever! It is so beautiful and makes me cry every time i listen to it.. It reminds me of my ex also my first love.. and what we went through and how i still ...in sum sense.. love him..Like everyone else i relate to this song tremendously ..especially '11:11', sleepin in your living room and the movie screen line.. we always said that our life together was one only on a movie screen and not a night went by that we didnt make a wish at 11:11..before we fell alseep in his living room...lol.. I dont think of him all that much but this song is one of a constant reminder... that at least at one time our love was true and very real.. and no matter how much i try i will never trully forget him. :(

This was the first SoCo song I've ever heard, and I think it is definitely the best song. It brings back so many memories for me, and I love the song for that.

this is nothing like a high school trying to write like faulkner. while i understand your anaology, i gotta sya it's misplaced. this song only hits certain people -- you have to be able to associate with it. i've made all my friends listen to it, and you can tell who really "gets" it. not understands it, but can relate to the lyrics and the story told. writing like faulkner would be writing out of your league. this song is not all that complex. it's just from the heart. if we're going to start criticizing artists for doing that, um, the music we all love is in serious jeopardy.

What a great song. Something Corporate knows how to get every emotion out. Listening to this song just makes you want to think of all past relationships, and only the best ones will make you cry...and then listening to this song...you'll cry harder.

Still listening to this song every day, and still thanking Something Corporate for bringing 2 people back together. Because some of us are made to last. I love you Jordan...

Words can't even describe how amazing this song is. This song brings tears to my eyes whenever i hear it. The emotion of the lyrics being sung tells how much this song means to the singer. I think everyone can relate to this song somehow. For me, it's my best friend, with whom i was in an amazing relationship with at one point. And now that it's over all i want to do is go back to those amazing months. He will always be there in the back of my head/heart, because he touched my heart like no one else ever could. And i believe that the songwriter had a similar experience with this girl, "Konstantine." THe nostalgia of the song is heartwrenching. I love the lines "It's to Jimmy Eat world..Isn't that what you said, what you thought this song meant?" How soco ties in the song "For me this is heaven" by Jimmy Eat World, into THIS beautiful song. It's truly the epitome of love songs for our era, it's nothing short of beautiful.

Sucks that teeny boppers found out about something corporate. Ever since I heard this song a long time ago it's reminded me of the same person, who I'll always love, so, in general, this is one bad ass song.

This song is soo inspirational to me. It reminds me of the guy that I used to date that left me for another girl. He was amazing, and he was the first serious guy I ever had. I listened to this song every chance I could after we broke it off. I love something corporate.

hey jerkoff....you're right, you've got the freedom to say what you want. and we've got the freedom to tell you you're a fuckin piece of shit, and that your opinions are fucking trash. so go and quote the first amendment somewhere else. just cause you got the right to say it doesn't mean what you say is worth our time. nobody's impressed that you can shoot off your mouth and then claim first amendment. i'll go out on a limb and guess that our founding fathers didn't have you in mind when they penned that. so go comment on slipknot or fucking adema or whatever flavor of the month hardcore cock gobblers you're into at the present time. leave the discussion of good music to people that have valid reasons behind their thoughts.
