Lyrics for Punk Rock Princess as interpreted by BrandNew1208

Punk Rock Princess Lyrics
Maybe when the room is empty
Maybe when the bottles full
Maybe when the door gets broke down love can break in
Maybe when I'm done with thinking
Maybe you can think me whole
Maybe when I'm done with endings this can begin,
this can begin, this can begin

If you could be my punk rock princess
I would be your garage band king
You could tell me why you just don't fit in
and how you're gonna be somethin

Maybe when your hair gets darker
Maybe when your eyes get wide
Maybe when the walls are smaller there will be more space
Maybe when I'm not so tired
Maybe you could step inside
Maybe when I look for things that I can't replace,
I can't replace, I can't replace

If you could be my punk rock princess
I would be your garage band king
You could tell me why you just don't fit in
and how you're gonna be somethin

If I could be your first real heartache
I would do it over again
If you could be my punk rock princess
I would be your heroin

I never thought you'd last
I never dreamed you would
You watch your life go past
You wonder if you should

And you should be my punk rock princess
so I would be your garage band king
You could tell me why you just don't fit in
and how your gunna be somethin

If I could be your first real heartache
I would do it over again
If you could be my punk rock princess
I would be your heroin

Woah, you know
you only burn my friendships
Woah, you know
you just can't let it sink in

You could be my heroin
You could be my heroin

The original version of this song was so much better. I think they had to change it to make it more marketable though...SELLOUTS!! Why had nobody in the uk ever heard of them?

I love this song cuz it reminds me of how im trying to get with this one girl that ive actually liked for 6 months!! but i know its worth it. She's sooo hott and she's never had a bf so the line "if i could be your first real heartache, i would do it over again" really reminds me of her. and she loves my band so i really really wanna be her garage band king!

Well, I don't know if anyone said this already.. because I couldn't stand reading all of these sappy comments about "oh I call my boyfriend my garage band king blah blah BLAH," but, I'm pretty sure that he's not talking about a heroine in the woman hero way, because, he is not a woman. "I will be your heroine." "I will be your woman hero." I don't think so.

lol. "I would be like heroin" is the Heroine version. Double meaning. Same thing has been commented couple of times before but I guess only losers like me read ALL the comments. I'm still trying to make sense of the other parts of the song and connecting all the words. It's all those maybes that get me...

this is lovely song but this can never be as good as the first version of punk rock princess (heroine)
the heroine's sevsitivity is gone in this version.. i think this is better if you think this as totally different song... and to me it is

Controversial new theory let the death threats begin:
I think this song actually is about a girl andrew didn't like. not that he didn't care about her, but she had a lot of things he didn't care for. I think the whole song is ambiguous, easily interpreted as being a love anthem, when in actuality, a kind of venting of frustration. 'Maybe when this room... bottle's full' that's talking about all these quirks she has that annoy him, she's anti-social, drinks... then the tone switches to sincerity, 'maybe when this door gets broke down, love can break in.' maybe when she stops trying to be hard and just is real for a bit, he can really love her like she wants him to. then there's the chorus, blah blah blah, you've all already talked about it, but it's supposed to be heroin right now, he's saying he could be everything for her, but again the verse says why he can't. she dies her hair, she wears a lot of make-up, or whatever, all these things that contribute to the facade she has in order to appear tough and untouchable. but then he switches to sincerity again, maybe when she stops building her walls so thick, it might give them room for a relationship to grow. When he's not tired of working at the feelings, like when she works on it a bit too, she'll be able to become a major part of his life. chorus again, then he says if he could be her first REAL heartache, if he knew that she really loved him, that he wasn't some stupid crush, then he'd go through all the frustration again. That means that he cares for her, he loves her, but not like most of you want to think. he loves her, he cries because of her, but it's because he wants so bad for her to be real with him, he wants her to be vulnerable. He wants what he sees her as at punk concerts; jumping around, acting crazy, banging her head, not caring what everyone else thinks. but until she can be like that with him, he'll never really LOVE her. He'll listen to her dreams, he'll be everything she'll ever want or long for or need.
Then at the very end, he says if she does this for him, if she's honest with him, she could be the one girl who saves him from all these other heartaches, all the problems he has going on, she could be his heroine.
right, i know you all want to think it's about his undying love for a girl, how he needs her so much he'll have to go into detox if she leaves, and this interpretation isn't nearly as glamorous, but i personally think it's a bit more thought out, and meaningful because of that. the kind of love he has for this girl runs deeper, one that (shock, horror) doesn't involve kissing, or making out or anything.

I love this song so very much.. Its the first song I knew of Something corporate.. I used one line of it at my msn-name ..
"Maybe when the door gets broke down love can break in"
.. A boy who liked me (He's my boyfriend for over 1,5 year now) asked how he could break down the door.. I dont remember what I said.. I only remember that after half an hour he was at my door waiting for a kiss.. So this song will always remind me of that day I guess.. :)

that is sweet. i really like this song, it was the first soco song i heard and now im obsessed. it reminds me of this guy i like, and he likes me, and we always complain of how i want to be a punk rock princess and he wants a punk rock princess, and everyone thinks it would be perfect if we were together but it will never happen coz he lives too far away. and it bugs us. :( and whenever i hear the song, i see his face

Very very cool song. But it's sad in a way for the people who don't have a "garage band king" (like me) or a "punk rock princess". Still like it though - plenty of fish in the sea. Haha.

i love this song .. but no one is talking really about what it means here .. only about how they are all "omg me and my bf we call eachother this and that ... " yeah it`s cute but lets get to the point

i think it`s about love and how they want so hard to make something work that might not just work and it may just be a quick romance even though they thought it`d be more.

I never thought you'd last
I never dreamed you would
You watch your life go past
You wonder if you should

I love that this is a song full of conditions because, really, isn't that how love can be? "If this is right and this happens and everything fall together perfectly, THEN things will be great with us."

Also "*If* you would be my punk rock princess"? Sounds like she isn't at all--in spite of their differences (though SoCo punk rock? hmmm...not quite) and his distinct lack of bravery, he still wants to be with her. That's gotta be the sweetest thing.

Its about a girl who doesn't fit in and wants someone to talk o about it. He's either her hero or drug saying that he makes her feel good. This is my first SoCo song and now its one of my favs and i am obsessed with them now!

I agree with StolenFromThe Hero. My band has been trying to cover this song, and I'll tell them what you said. Maybe we'll think of it a bit differently now.

Well, we wont know for sure unless the band explains it wont we? my dream is for someone to dedicate it to me. and then play it, not just dedicate it on the radio like some dumbass did a few weeks ago. As for the song meaning, well, i think what stolenfrom the hero said makes sense...I didnt understand all of it tho, but i got the jist and agreed. But to me, i still listen to it like some love anthem. But in relation to what stolen from the hero said. I still hear it as this guy who likes this girl that no one understands. Like, no one understands her and He could, if she only gave him a chance...yeh...Love the song :D

Cute song. It's kind of lame, though. "You could tell me why you just don't fit in." ? I don't think she'd really care if she fits in or not. Whatever. I still like the song.
