Well, I'll wait till you listen
I won't say a word
To follow your instincts
Just never worked for me
Your silent but strong, (yeah, I'm playing that card)
And your noticing nothing again

Now I'm lying on the table
With everything you said
Keeping mind the way that it felt
When the most I could do was to just blame myself

(yeah, I'm playing that card)
When the most I could do was to just blame myself
And I know you know, everything
I know you didn't mean it
I know you didn't mean it

I know you know, everything (drop everything)
I know you didn't mean it (start it all over)
I know you didn't mean it (remember more then you'd like to forget)

So, we're talking forever
And you almost feel better
But, betters no excuse for tonight
You see, it's never been enough
Just to leave all you gave up
But, its never good enough to feel right

Now I'm lying on the table
With everything you said
It will all catch up eventually
Well, it caught up and honestly
The weight of my decisions
Were impossible to hold

They were never yours
They were never yours
Well I, know you know, everything
I know you didn't mean it
I know you didn't mean it

I know you know, everything (drop everything)
I know you didn't mean it (start it all over)
I know you didn't meant it (remember more then you'd like to forget)

Drop everything, start it all over
Remember more then you'd like to forget [Repeat: x2]

Would you like to forget
Would you like to forget
Drop everything, start it all over
Well, drop everything start it all over (would you like to forget)
Drop everything start it all over
Start it all

Well I, know you know, everything
I know you didn't mean it
I know you didn't mean it

I know you know, everything (drop everything)
I know you didn't mean it (start it all over)
I know you didn't meant it (remember more then you'd like to forget)

I know you know
I know you know, you know, you know, you know

    My Interpretation:Personally, this song stands out from a lot of what TBS have written, because it reminds me of a hard time I went through in my life. I had an ex who had said a lot of mean, hurtful things to me, and when we broke up and he got a new girlfriend, and both of them sent me messages telling me I was fat and ugly and useless, which lead to me having an eating disorder. The part "you're noticing nothing again
    Now I'm lying on the table
    with everything you said
    keep that in mind the way that it felt
    when the most I could do was to just blame myself" especially means a lot to me, because to me, it means "you were never around after that to notice what I because and how my behavior changed, and I doubt that you'd care if you were there. I don't think you expected that to happen, or for me to react that way, but I did, and I thought about those words for ages, and I still do".
    When it says "it will all catch up eventually
    well, it caught up and honestly
    the weight of my decisions
    were impossible to hold
    but they were never yours
    they were never yours" to me means "it was bound to happen, and I guess it could have gone better, but something bad was bound to happen, and it's no one else's fault but mine because yeah, you said that stuff to me, but I doubt your intentions were to make me so ill". It upsets me everytime I hear it, because it's just so personal to me

    General Comment:Also if you try to intrepert the words from like Jesus talking, if you understand the Trinity in a basic form i think the lyrics make a lot of sence.

    General Comment:How about it being a person who did not recognize God in his life for so long until one night where he realized that God had been loving him the entire time?

    General Comment:In my opinion this song is about what happened with John, Adam, and Michelle. It's obviously about cheating but I think this line gives it away: "The weight of my decisions were impossible to hold, but they were never yours." Adam is kind of saying that John shouldn't have gotten involved in their relationship at all.

    General Comment:im suprised that not everybody likes the song

    this song hits me like a gattling gun

    (i cheated ok, but im seeking redemption)

    its about a guy cheating on his girl but the girl doesnt mind because she is so blinded by the fact the she really loves the guy. and she thinks she wouldnt live much if the guy leaves


    and the guy has this happy feeling of guilt and wants to make up for it

    General Comment:This song is about John and Adam's relationship and all the bullshit that went on with Michelle.

    Reading the lyrics its just too personal to be a about some dumb girl and cheating... they are way more complex with there lyrics than that...
