Lyrics for Jude Law and a Semester Abroad as interpreted by BrandNew1208

Jude Law and a Semester Abroad Lyrics
Whatever poison's in this bottle
will leave me broken, sore and stiff
But it's the genie at the bottom who I'm sucking at,
he owes me one last wish
So here's a present to let you know I still exist
I hope the next boy that you kiss has something terribly contagious on his lips

But I got a plan (I got a plan)
To drink for forty days and forty nights
A sip for every second-hand tick
And every time you fed the line,
“you mean so much to me”
I'm without you

Tell all the English boys you meet
about the American boy back in the states
The American boy you used to date
who would do anything you say
Tell all the English boys you meet
about the American boy back in the states
The American boy you used to date
who would do anything you say

And even if her plane crashes tonight
she'll find some way to disappoint me,
by not burning in the wreckage,
or drowning at the bottom of the sea
Jess, I still taste you, and thus reserve my right to hate you
And all this empty space that you create
does nothing for my flawless sense of style
It's 8:45(it's 8:45), the weather is getting better by the hour (rains all the time)
I hope it rains there all the time
And if you ever said you miss me then don't say you never lied
I'm without you

Tell all the English boys you meet
about the American boy back in the states
The American boy you used to date
who would do anything you say
Tell all the English boys you meet
about the American boy back in the states
The American boy you used to date
who would do anything you say,
who would do anything you say

Never gunna get it right, you're never gonna get it(15x)

Okay no more songs about you. After this one I am done. You're gone [repeat until end]

Tell all the English boys you meet
about the American boy back in the states
The American boy you used to date
who would do anything you say
Tell all the English boys you meet
about the American boy back in the states
The American boy you used to date
who would do anything you say

Jess isnt the girl. Jess is short for Jesse, singer/songwriter of Brand New. All of his sayings are in the song, so there would be no need to put a saying in quotes unless its from another person ie/the girl. Just thought I'd clear some things up.

this song reminds me of my boyfriend...it's like his song for him and his ex...it's actually kinda uncanny cuz she's studying abroad in england right now too...but yeah, he sings it all the time but it makes me feel sad cuz he loved her so much and she hurt him so much...i'm afraid he still likes her...

This song is great. Brand new rocks. I feel like he does in every single word of this song. About how things seem to be getting better for him, but he wishes that things get bad for her. And how if she ever said she missed him, for her not to say that she never lied. Great song that helps me.

This is a great song, and Brand New is an amazing band...Can't wait till the video for this song premieres in July. Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone knew what, if any signifigance is in the title "Jude Law and A Semester Abroad." If I'm not mistaken, isn't Jude Law an actor?

Jude law is an actor if that clears that up. Seriously, i dont want to add some broth to the moron soup, but; you guys need to only post things if you know the meanings. No one cares if you know jesse. No one cares if anyone knows anyone famous. Plus, anyone could know him. you go to a show and talk. damn. oh yes, and just because you know him, dont look at yourself so wonderfuly, because im sure you couldnt. Stop telling how much you like the song, because everyone does as well. JUST POST THE MEANING. otherwise it's just a bunch of stupid notes. if you want stupid notes to be posted, go to opendiary.com or something.

Yeah Jude Law is a British actor. My interpretation is that the reason Jesse chose that as the title is cuz Jude Law is like the stereotypical goodlooking English guy that Jesse imagines the girl kissing, kinda uses it to conjure up an image in the listeners head.
