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 agree with WJ that the term christian band is an over used label I believe the members of Emery are christians and I believe they try to portray their morals through their songs and SOME of their songs may be directly about God but I think on a broader scale I think their songs are just about their morals that they have because they are christians.

Im not arguing the fact that they may believe that Im just saying it seems as though "Christian" is such a broad "Label" people use.

I have read quite a few comment which say "Emery is a christian band" It just annoys me the fact that it such a over used saying... the band obviously has a message that is the undertone of the work... (which I love) but I just cant stand the teenie boppers who label every band that pays resect to god a christian band...

I think I even read someone say that Brand new was a christian band b/c of there new cd title. It riduculious. What I said was out of frustratiion if anything.... I never clain the bible was useless... however its more effective if those that use it also apply it... thats all Im saying...
Ithink its what scapland saif above that ticked me off... these guys never claimed to be a christian band
they are christians IN A BAND big diffrence... And I think that is what the world needs.

well of course claiming something doesn't make you something. however, I think you can make a pretty good assumption that the band members are creating their lyrics from some sort of Christian base because of the spiritual death. no one is throwing around Bible trivia here, and if you claim that the Bible is useless, no ratio of show and tell would make a difference to you anyway.

first of all
alibisandlyingeyes got it right, so go read her post

second... Today's Christian is just ridulous.

Just b/c a group of guys play music and claim to follow a certin religion DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE A CHRISTIAN BAND....

Christianity is not a lable and too many "christians" give it this false sense of security. You want to turn non-believers SHOW ME stop thumping me with your useless bible trivia and show me a diffrence.

The song that got me hooked on them.
All their lyrics are so beautiful and carefully thought out.
Unlike any band I've ever heard.

scapland is amazing. i agree 100%. you should listen to "easier than love" by switchfoot if you haven't already. it's the same type of message about how sex sells.

this is really just a song about relationships and how innocent relationships can be ruined by lust and moving too fast

All the suspense
That we’ve created
Now it’s wasted
And we can’t change it

Liek they moved too fast and it has ruined things. like maybe they werewaitin for marriage and they did it anyway and all that build up took away from what they were saving for.

I am sorry, but I don't think God can be left out of this. If this a Christian band, I think God should be involved! So it isn't just about the music, it is also about the message that Emery is trying to convey as a Christian band!! And lust and purity is a big deal for us teenagers!! Sex sells and it's everywhere. To the point that we have televison shows, commercials, billboards, and songs telling us that it is ok to have sex. And they encourage promiscuity, when in reality we must stay pure. So it is true like someone above mentioned, sex doesn't make you mature. Sometimes it actually shows how immature a person can actually be.

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.

purity my ass

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,

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.
