I had the notion that you'd make me change my ways and
My bad habits would be gone in a matter of days
I had the feeling that you'd open up my eyes
To a whole new world that had since been in disguise

But that day will most likely never come for me
And it's just my luck to end up getting stuck
To everything you are

So tonight I'll sit and pick apart your pictures
And over analyze your words
But the truth is that I've never fallen so hard
It's taking everything in me
Just to forget your sweater so far

I had the notion that you'd make me forget the world
But your undecisive mind shows me that
You are "just another girl"
I had the feeling that those looks you gave me were real
What if I ripped your heart apart at the seams
Maybe then you'd know how I feel

But that day will most likely never come for me
And it's just my luck to end up getting stuck
To everything you are

So tonight I'll sit and pick apart your pictures
And over analyze your words
But the truth is that I've never fallen so hard
It's taking everything in me
Just to forget your sweater so far

I can honestly say
That I never, ever, ever felt this way
Your lips, your eyelashes, your skin
These are the parts of your body
That cause my comatose to begin

I can honestly say
That I never, ever, ever felt this way
Your lips, your eyelashes, your skin
These are the parts of your body
That cause my comatose to begin

I will sleep another day
I don't really need to anyway
What's the point when my dreams are infected
With words you used to say
I will breathe in a moment
As long as I keep my distance
I wouldn't want to go messing anything up

So don't go worrying about me
It's not like I think about you constantly
So maybe I do, but that shouldn't affect
Your life anymore
I knew it the moment you walked into the door

So don't go worrying about me
It's not like I think about this constantly
So maybe I do, but that shouldn't affect
Your life anymore
I knew it the moment you walked into the door

I'll let you get the best of me
Because there's nothing else that I do well
I'll let you get the best of me
Because there's nothing else that I do well
I'll be the giver and you'll be the taker
I guess that's how this one's gonna go I'll be the giver and you'll be the taker
You've got me down on my knees and I proclaim
"All hail the heartbreaker"

    General Comment:This song gets me every time. I listen to it on repeat. It's so true.
    "So don't go worrying about me, it's not like I think about you constantly. Well, maybe I do. But that shouldn't affect your life anymore."
    That line gets me the most. It's exactly how I feel.

    General Comment:I love how he misused "comatose" and says "undecisive" instead of "indecisive". It almost adds to the desperation and... well... whatever else this song is that I can't name at midnight. Maybe bitterness? This song makes me feel quite bitter. But lovesick all at the same time.... Nick Thomas seems to be completely brilliant in his lyrics.

    General Comment:I adore this song, it is the song that really got me into the Spill Canvas. Then on my birthday in highschool about 4 years ago, they came to town and played at this very small venue at CU in Boulder. My friend and I stayed after and talked with the bands and..... I met Nick Thomas!!!!!! The best birthday ever!! It was crazy, I was starstruck! I love the Spill Canvas they are soo talented!!

    General Comment:Totally relatable. They are true geniuses with lyrics. All of their songs have so much passion and love and hate and everything in them. One of my most favourite bands.

    General Comment:Okay, so people were briefly touching on this line "I knew it the moment you walked into the door..." Seriously though, I don't fully understand that line. It seems like he means he knew that she was going to hurt him right from the start, but that doesn't make sense with the rest of the song.

    Other than that, I'm sure anyone who's looked up this song knows how each other feels and how this song relates perfectly to them. Same goes for me.

    General Comment:Love, love, love this song. I really like how it has a whole bunch of changes in the song to really pump you up for the ending.

    General Comment:'I'll let you get the best of me, cause there's nothing else that I do well.'
    Probably the best line of the song.
    The Spill Canvas are a great band but they have some ridiculously cliche songs. That being said this isn't one of them bar the 'comatose' line.

    General Comment:LOVE-
    amazing.
    I had the notion that you'd make me change my ways
    My bad habits would be gone in a matter of days
    she made him a better person
    I can honestly say
    that I never, ever, ever felt this way
    Your lips, your eyelashes, your skin
    These are the parts of your body
    that cause my comatose to begin
    its over and now he is heartbroken (What if I ripped your heart apart at the seams
    maybe then you'd know how I feel )
    and to get over it he is drowning his sorrow in drugs and alcohol- comotose.

    I'll let you get the best of me (I'll let you get the best of me)
    'cause there's nothing else that I do well
    WOWWWW- ive never heard anything so honest
