Konstantine (Live from Ready...Break) Lyrics
It's called Konstantine

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
But I can't stand here in a patch of four leaf clover
And your restless
And I'm naked
You gotta get out
You can't stand to see me shakin'
No. . .
Could you let me go?

And you don't want to be here in the future
So you say the, "The present's just a pleasent interruption to the past."
And you don't want to look much closer
'Cause 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 (no)
And I'm sleeping in your living room
But we don't have much room
To live

And I had dreams that I would learn to play guitar
Maybe cross the country
Become a rock star
And there was hope in me that I could take you there
Dammit, you're so young
But I don't think I care
And if I hurt you
Then I'm sorry
It's just this guilt has got the best of me

And then you'd bring me home
'Cause we both know what it's like to be alone (no)
And I'm dreaming in your living room
But we don't have much room
To live

And Konstantine is coming down the stairs
Doesn't she look good standing in her underwear?
And I've been thinking
What I've been thinking (no)
That she's been drinking and it doesn't get me any where

And Konstantine came walking down the stairs
And all that I could do was touch her long, blonde hair
And I was thinking
What I was thinking (ya know)
But we've been drinking and it doesn't get me any where

This is because I can spell 'Konfusion' with a 'K'
It's hard to 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
But this time I'm alone and I don't see those stars
I'm not your. . .
Star. . .
Isn't that what you said?
What you thought this song meant?
You thought this song meant

And if this is what it takes
To lie in my mistakes
And live with what I did to you
And all the things I've put you through
I always catch the clock, it's 11:11, and now you wanna talk?
It's not hard to dream
You'll always be 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 these pretty things she did
Hey, baby, you know that you keep me up in bed
It's 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've missed you?"
"Did you know I've missed you?" (6 x's)
Oh God, I miss you

And then you bring me home
And we go to sleep, this time not alone (no, no)
And you'll kiss me in your living room (oh)
And you see (no)
That I've been missing in my living room
'Cause it all you
Yeah, this is what I miss
What I miss

We don't have much room
I said, "Does anybody really need that room?"
Because we all need a little bit of room. . .
To live. . .

My Konstantine

If you get it from that website, you're ripping the band off. They don't get any of that money. Or so I've heard. But whatever, I totally agree with you: This version has a lot more raw emotion in it than the recorded version. It especially gives me goosebumps to hear the crowd and picture Andrew, eyes closed, singing from his heart. The other one seems to have more forced emotion.

It's true, the band does get ripped off. The company that's re-issuing this CD is making new copies due to the sucess of Something Corporate lately, and it's kind of illegal due to some copyright laws or something. The band is not getting any of the money that comes from us buying these CD's. Unfortunately, I didn't find all this out untill I had already ordered my copy, which kinda sucks.

Anyways, about this version of Konstantine. I like the piano part in this one alot better than the studio version, there are a few parts where Andrew does some awesome solo's. And my favorite part is where he's singing "Did you know I miss you?" and then it's quiet and he says, :God, I mis you." He sounds so sad when he says that, and it gets me everytime.

I really like this song, it got me into SoCo but I'm not sure if I like this version. Maybe you just have to see it live but I thought the live version his singing wasnt very good. Dont get me wrong...i LOVE SoCo and they are one of my favorite bands and i have almost every cd but i think i may like the studio version better, who knows maybe I'll get to love it...only time will tell :)

Anyway.. this version is amazing. i love both versions..but i can picture andrew in my head singing this version.. and i agree with SoCoFan about the part where he says "God, I miss you". it gets me everytime too. ;D

Im an idiot, haha. Its only the next day and i already love this version. You guys are right, he shows alot more raw emotion in this one althought i still do like the studio version. I love when he says "dammit your so young", he says it with so much emotion and then the crowd the yells it gives you the feeling your there. uh well I guess time did tell, heh.

SoCo Forever.

I love this song! This was the first version from Konstantine I downloaded and one of the reasons I love SoCo so much! When you listen to this song you believe that he really means what he says more than at any other song I ever heard! It's just great!
...i know my english is awful, but I had to say that...

i like the live wersion better. You can feel all of andrews emotions and he puts everything he's got into singing and its so raw and real that you can just feel his pain. I love it! and the way that he sings...its like he's letting me into his world and his life and he dosnt even know me,and yet he means so much to me and hes a huge part of my life. its amazing

on "Ready...Break" (shame you for buying it from coachhouserecords, who are selling them illegally) it's a hidden track. Let the last song play all the way through and you'll hear it.
