Lyrics for So Cold I Could See My Breath as interpreted by GrOoDmAn

So Cold I Could See My Breath Lyrics
INTRO
Let’s start with just the basics then
I’m sure that we can fake it when
It’s time to say how much it meant
And we walk out so innocent

VERSE 1
You can be so persuasive
When you say it’s
More than a day trip
And convince me
I’m condescending
When I ask, “Will this be ending?”
How quickly lust can pretend it's love

CHORUS
We’re just the boys and girls that think they always know (we are the boys and the girls)
With answers for the world
The ambiguity shows
We’re just the boys and girls that dance with all their clothes (we are the boys and the girls)
Hiding under the sheets
Believing nobody knows

VERSE 2
All the suspense
That we’ve created
Now it’s wasted
And we can’t change it
The beginning to the ending
I find myself remembering

PRE-CHORUS
How quickly lust can pretend it's love
Designing words to help us believe
It’s so much more than just tonight
So we have got to get this right
How quickly words can become our hands
Resigning everything we believe
You wanted, you wanted
More

CHORUS
We’re just the boys and girls that think they always know (we are the boys and the girls)
With answers for the world
The ambiguity shows
We’re just the boys and girls that dance with all their clothes (we are the boys and the girls)
Hiding under the sheets
Believing nobody knows

VERSE 3
You could be the one to stay
Made from birth for just this day
But something tells me it’s not right
If we could lose it all tonight
I’m no better on my own
Leave the message on your phone
Always trying what I can to be a child and not a man

CHORUS
We’re just the boys and girls that think they always know (we are the boys and the girls)
With answers for the world
The ambiguity shows
We’re just the boys and girls that dance with all their clothes (we are the boys and the girls)
Hiding under the sheets
Believing nobody knows

OUTRO
My hands across your clothes (my hands across your clothes)
And me without a plan
(Something I'll miss)
To keep us boys and girls (to keep us boys and girls)
Another woman and man?
(Something I will always miss)

i think this song is bout purity and realationships. how quick lust can come into a relationship. at the end i think it says " and not a woman and man", but i could be wrong. that might mean keeping themselves in a mindset of children rather than of adults. in the bible it says that to enter the kingdom of heaven, you must be like children. or i could be wrong...

i agree with you christsiderider, this is about purity in relationships. it is refering to teenagers when it talks about "the boys and girls that think they always know." teenagers can be so confident in their own strength that they allow themselves to get caught in a bad situation "without a plan." i especially like the lines "How quickly words can become our hands / Resigning everything we believe" - this is talking about how thoughts can suddenly turn into action, and you can go against everything that you know is right.

definitely agree with brandonissuperhot and christsidrider
"We’re just the boys and girls that think they always know"

we think that we are so smart a lot of times. turth is, we're not. we think we're so mature that we can be physical in a relationship, but that ultimately will just lead to pain. i think this is referring to sex.

"Always trying what I can to be a child and not a man"

goes along with the above. we think we are mature, but what we are doing is very childish. the truth is, we all want sex, we just dont want the consequences. alot of times guys will say "im havin sex cause im a real man" thats bull. it takes a real man to wait. that is also what he is talking about here. words turn into actions so quickly

"my hands across your clothes,
and me without a plan."

this is the couple who has no idea what they are doing when they begin to get physical. Emery is so sarcastic in a way, pointing out that teenagers start their own problems. i love it and completely agree.

Emery rocks, but God rules.

I AGREE
AMEN GOD RULES!
the song is about the loss of innocence and losing your virginity.
how quickly lust can pretend its love you get caught up in lust and you say its love so you can have sex but then after you realize your not the same anymore
afraid of what people will think
"hiding underneath the sheets beleiving nobody knows"
"we are the boys and girls who think they always know"
kids start thinking that they know what love is when there very young

All the suspense
That we’ve created
Now it’s wasted
And we can’t change it
you think about all how your waiting for the right person to give it up to. "the suspense" its wasted when you lose your
virginity and you cant go back.

My hands across your clothes (my hands across your clothes)
And me without a plan
(Something I'll miss)
To keep us boys and girls (to keep us boys and girls)
Another woman and man?
(Something I will always miss)

at least thats what i think

Wow, I never thought of it the way everyone else does, but that makes a lot of sense. I can't agree with everything about the religion sense, but I fully agree- the purity of relationships. The point being, sex should be special, not casual. Emery pretty much owns. Oh yes.

what does this song mean to me... well it explains to me how i should keep who i am and not let who i am go to waste. from what i understood it is tlaking about little kiddie crushes haah and yea them thinking that what they have is the world and that everything that they created and made is amazing and they are os proud of it but then unless you are able to handle the responisibilty of a relationship all that you worked for gets crashed down. i dont know a lot of the time i get these things wrong and everyone probablly laughs at what i write haah but thats okay. umm yea... im out lol. have a good one

I think it actually have a little to do with social commentary on the music scene. Everyone want sto be "underground," "indy," or elitist, and its starting to get old. The whole "my bands are better than your bands" thing is freaking retarded, and the chorus makes little jabs at that.

GOD DOES NOT RULE!!!! But that is besides the point.

I agree though that this song has to do with losing your virginity. You're not longer innocent, and sometimes it can make you feel guilty and dirty. You think you're in love, and then you want to do anything for that person. You give in and have sex. But that might bw right yet. And then you think no one knows that you're not so innocent anymore. Like your parents, but they might. Losing your virginity can change everything. Boys and girls do think they know everything and nothing can hurt them. But that's not true. You want to be yourself again, but you can't get back what you lost to that person. You want that person to stay, you think you love them. But having sex with them might not feel right, even if you love that person. Sex can lead to a lot of pain and problems. And it hurts when you love that person, and then you find it wasn't really love, it was just lust, that felt like love. It hurts. I love this song, it relates so well to things that are so real in life, that no one ever really talks about. It's a freaking awesome song. EMERY KICKS ASS!!!!!

God is a-aye-mazing.

I do love this chorus as well.

Yeah the song is basically about thinking you're mature enough to withstand temptation in a relationship, and then getting in too deep.

this song is about how love can be/should be/is more than just sex...
also, since teens always think they are right, u finaly realise you have become mature, and you rethink if u have made the right decion..so ur not always right nomor,

It's about teenagers who think that they're in love, so they have sex. They set aside their religious beliefs of abstinance or whatever. They think that they're smart and they won't get caught, but 'God' knows that they did it and they're going to face the consequences.
