Lyrics for Grazed Knees as interpreted by elementalsk8er5

Grazed Knees Lyrics
I'm trying not to stare, it's too late
The blankets over there, if you like
I'm broken and I'm colder than hell
I should've said I'd not come back here

Your breakfast will get cold
I really have to go

It's easier to lie and be safe
Time and time again I'm half stalled
One giant leap of faith is easy
When everyone you ask is so sure

Just give a second thought
What if we don't get caught

Just say you love me now
And forget this whole row
Just save your energy
For making up with me

^^Mine too. It's one of those songs for me that you have to listen to in the morning otherwise you fear that the rest of the day will be so bad. It's one of those songs to get me up for the day.

This song, more than any other I've ever heard, applies directly to me. I know exactly how he feels. This exact same situation just happened to me, down to the last detail. It ended today though, and this song has been playing just as long. I feel bad for him, because i know how bad he hurts.

^^^^The song you're after is Run.

It's one of the best songs on the album but not the best. Buy the album and you won't be disappointed.

P.S I agree with you all on the meaning.

i presume the second thought means that he wants her to re-think whatever decision she has made / giving up on the relationship...so the "get caught" bita could be getting caught out (hitting a problem). so if she just gives it a chance they can make up & be together & everyones happy...my interperetation anyway...any thoughts?

Imo, they have just spent the night together. It's the morning after and they are remembering all the hundreds of reasons that they shouldn't have done it. Maybe they keep doing this, and maybe the "get caught" bit is because one of them, or both, is already in a relationship?
He wants to care for her - give her the blanket (common metaphor for protection), but he doesn't want to care too much because its the morning after - the passion is no longer there but has instead been replaced by guilt and a confused feeling of what happens next.
Just my initial reaction to the lyrics, could be totally wrong!

to me this song represents being in the middle of fixing a problem with your ex. and althought you desperately need to fix the problem you cant help giving in to the attraction you feel for them. so this song is about when you do give in and fall into bed with them, in the morning, the issue is still not resolved and you would rather die than stay there another minute to fix it. its about being torn.

I think this song is about a guy and girl that had a bad break up, and he moved away. I think they both loved each other a lot and tried to get over it for a while but something drew them back together. I think they slept together last night and he really fell for her hard again but she's not feeling the same way or is still hurt and probably is in a relationship, and is sitting away from him when he offers her the blanket. I think he's upset that she's not totally into it again like he is and then decides that he has to leave, but leaves her with a few words:
"Just give a second thought
What if we don't get caught"
He wants her to be happy and love him again and then 'save her energy for making up with him' which I hope you get because I'm not explaining.

Well, that's just my take on it, partially drawn from my life. Great song. Tell me what you think.

This is the best track on the Final Straw album... it's just so gorgeous.
To me, this is a song about being totally in love with somebody, spending a night together and then waking up in the morning and realising it's not gonna be the same as it was that night. Maybe the girl he sings it to is in a relationship ... "It's easier to lie and be safe", "Just give a second thought, What if we don't get caught". This has happened before as well... "Time and time again I'm half stalled".. he's saying every time this happens he thinks she might have genuine feelings but in the morning it's always the same. He's cold.
"I should've said I'd not come back here" --- he wishes he could let go because he knows she's never going to love him, but he feels so strongly for her that he wants her, even just for "one more night"...
The last verse puzzles me.. maybe she acts coldly towards him in the morning, because he wants more from her, so they're in a fight.
Slightly over-analysed... but I can really relate to this track.

This song reminds me of waking up with my friends after a party. It kinda seems to me that he wakes up with this girl who he really likes and is probably his friend, like a best friend to relationship thing, and maybe she has a respective other, but they both really like each other. He's laying himself bare and telling her how he feels and shes hesistating which leads to an arguement until they realise how they feel. Aw im such a romantic lol, probably not what everyone else thinks. I always listen to this after a party, its chilled and its awesome.

I am probably just repeating comments made by other people (i am lazy and don't feel liek reading them all) but just bare with me... it seems to me this song is about two people who where in a relationship, broke up and then hooked up again. I get the immpression that they are torn betweeen what they want (eachother) and what is best for them in the long run.
[It's easier to lie and be safe
Time and time again I'm half stalled]
and,
[Just say you love me now
And forget this whole row
Just save your energy
For making up with me ]

I also think that they have talked to their friends and asked what they should do and no one knows.

[One giant leap of faith is easy when everyone you ask is so sure]... i dont really know thats just my take on it.

i've always thought this song must have some connection for cheating because of the linbe, 'just give a second thought, what if we don't get caught'

but other than that this song puzzles me! great though
