Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you, for you
Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you

As years go by
I race the clock with you
But if you died right now
You know that I'd die to
I'd die too

You remind me of the times
When I knew who I was (I was)
But still the second hand will catch us
Like it always does

We'll make the same mistakes
I'll take the fall for you
I hope you need this now
Cause I know I still do

Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you

Should I bite my tongue?
Until blood soaks my shirt
We'll never fall apart
Tell me why this hurts so much
My hands are at your throat
And I think I hate you
But still we'll say, "remember when"
Just like we always do
Just like we always do

Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you

Yeah I'd spill my heart!
Yeah I'd spill my heart for you!

My hands are at your throat
And I think I hate you
We made the same mistakes
Mistakes like friends do

My hands are at your throat
And I think I hate you
We made the same mistakes
Made the same mistakes

Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you, for you

Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you, for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
Until the day I die!!!

    General Comment:Straight forward song. They took the quote "I'll love you until the day I die" which already holds a lot of emotion and just put so much more into it that it couldn't be anything less than amazing. This song shows that when you do finally find that true love, it will be some of the most raw emotion that you will ever feel. No matter what happens, you will always love them till the end.

    "As years go by I race the clock with you. But if you died right now, you know that I'd die to."

    -This is my favorite line of the song. It's simple, but so true to so many people. I've seen it before. Once you've spent most of your life with the one you love, learn to live no other way, and they die, the other slowly dies too, because without them, there is no point.

    "We'll make the same mistakes, I'll take the fall for you. I hope you need this now cause I know I still do."

    -Everyone makes mistakes, we're all human. He's saying that even when it was her fault, he still took the blame, because he loved her that much. He still needs her, and he hopes that she still needs him too.


    "My hands are at your throat, and I think I hate you. We made the same mistakes. Mistakes like friends do."

    -If you truely care about someone, and love them deeply, you will hate them at some point. Something will happen, someone will be hurt, and you think you hate them, but when it all blows over you realize you never really did, you just let your emotions get the better of you. That's what he's saying.

    Memory:Hmmh. Song perfectly describes my ex. I loved her, I still love her, but I have to hate her for what she's done.

    General Comment:So the irony to me that this song has is that the guy that got me listening to Story of the Year kept repeating that this was his song to me, and that it was talking about how much he loved a girl. Last year I was talking to a friend who knows more about SOTY then my ex did. And he says it means about how much he (SOTY) did love her, but he couldn't stand being with her. It's ironic because that's how I feel about him. Last summer I did a little block concert with my friends for fun... He was there. And I got down from the stage and sang that right in his face.

    My Interpretation:I think it's about best friends, maybe finding each other or being friends all along but I shall interpret (mostly because I'm bored)


    As years go by
    I race the clock with you- being friends trying to do it all
    But if you died right now
    You know that I'd die to- seeing as they have it all planned out if one of them dies it's like 'wait what do I do now?'
    I'd die too

    You remind me of the times
    When I knew who I was (I was)- when they were younger and they didn't really think much so 'they knew who they were'
    But still the second hand will catch us
    Like it always does- they'll run out of time

    We'll make the same mistakes- obvious, no?
    I'll take the fall for you- friends looking out for each other
    I hope you need this now
    Cause I know I still do- 1. helping his friend out knowing that they could have just as easily done it themselves. 2. Old best buddies, with him still defending them, he wonders if they still need it, when he still feels like he has to.

    Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
    I'll spill my heart for you
    Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
    I'll spill my heart for you

    Should I bite my tongue?
    Until blood soaks my shirt-should I tell you the truth
    We'll never fall apart
    Tell me why this hurts so much-he's afraid they might get in a fight and not be friends, but still knows that will never happen.
    My hands are at your throat
    And I think I hate you- THey probably got in a fight
    But still we'll say, "remember when"
    Just like we always do- they'll get through the fight and be like 'hey remember when we were fighting.' The line also suggests the old buddy theory.
    Just like we always do


    Yeah I'd spill my heart!!!
    Yeah I'd spill my heart for you!!!

    My hands are at your throat
    And I think I hate you
    We made the same mistakes
    Mistakes like friends do

    My hands are at your throat
    And I think I hate you
    We made the same mistakes
    Made the same mistakes


    I think it's quite possible for it to have that meaning.
