I'm missing you so much, I'll see you die tonight
Just so I can get to you before the sun will rise
I know these times are hard and I feel this too
But none of that ever seems to matter when I'm holding you.

And I'm wasting away, away from you
And I'm wasting away, away from you

What have I gotten into this time around?
I know that I had sworn I'd never trust anyone again but I didn't have to
You had me at hello.

I've never seen a smile that can light the room like yours
It's simply radiant, even more with everyday that goes by
I watch the clock to make my timing just right
Would it be okay?
Would it be okay?
If I took your breath away?

And I'm wasting away, away from you
And I'm wasting away, away from you

What have I gotten into this time around?
I know that I had sworn I'd never trust anyone again but I didn't have to
You had me at hello.

(You gave me butterflies at the mailbox)
You had me at hello.

    General Comment:your correct, it does say "i'm missing you so much i'll SAY you die tonight" it simply means he wants to see her so bad that he'll say she dies just so he has an excuse just to get to her before the next day.

    General Comment:This is one of the best songs EVER written.
    It makes me think about how all the songs now are all about love and sex but they're not as soft as this. If anyone was going to write a love song; wouldn't you think it would be a soft song? Not like a rap? It just makes me think about all the music and how it's changing extremely. It's hard to find a band as good as A Day To Remember. They can be the most hardcore band I've ever heard, Then again they can make the softest most meaningful songs. They are and always will be my favorite band.
    Favorite lyric: "Would it be okay? Would it be okay? If I took your breath away?" <3

    General Comment:Ok, I really love this song..

    But in the beginning, doesn't he say "I'm missing you so much, I'll SAY you die tonight?" Instead of "I'm missing you so much, I'll see you die tonight?" Idk thats just what I always thought it was..

    General Comment:this song makes me super nostalgic. i used to sneak out of my house and meet my boyfriend at my mailbox, and thats where he asked me to be his girlfriend <3 then he told me to listen to this song because the line "you gave me butterflies at the mailbox" is how he felt about me. since then i've been in love with ADTR needless to say i loooove this song.
