Watching the days burning out like a cigarette, just a few drags to go.
You built me up and you broke me down, somehow
Everything just seemed so clear to me, nothing left to know
I'll love you right and I'll love you pure, right now

How can you say, that its too late
To save us now

And I would wait for you, if you would wait for me
And I will Wait for you, if you will wait for me

Intoxicated, the edge is serrated, so easily torn from the core
I blushed the first time, but you blushed the last time my eyes hit your mind
Regenerated these feelings of hatred, I long for your love ever more
You built me up and you broke me down this time

And I would wait for you, if you would wait for me
And I will Wait for you, if you will wait for me

How can you say that its too late, to save us now
How can you say

    General Comment:Beautiful song :)
    I think its about bieng in a relationship thats had a lot of ups and downs, eventually it gets tiring of trying to make things work out. Unfortunately in this one one person gave up and the other still wants to try and is hoping that itll work out even though its too late. Sometimes moving on is for the best and thats hard to do :/
    Yellowcard is an awesome, band another great song.

    General Comment:this song is so beautiful. i saw Yellowcard perform in Sydney the other night, and during this song, a girl next to me yelled out "this is the best fucking song they've ever written". she was so right. i love this song because it is so beautiful and meaningful to everyone.

    General Comment:When i bought the cd I wasnt looking for something like this.....its beautiful and for three months i cried everytime i heard it. I think its about losing someone that you have loved for a really long time, and them not feeling that way anymore. Thats exactly why it made me cry, because my best-friend acted that way to me....long story. its beautiful and yeah, i still play it everytime i think about how much i still love him when i try and forget it.
