No! She won't, she won't, she won't wait!
No! She won't, she won't, she won't wait!
No! She won't, she won't, she won't wait!
No! She won't, she won't, she won't!

Always what you meant, never what you said.
Passing over me like a book you've read.
But I let it fall, valet every wish.
Take my hands and eyes, but I beg you this:
Offer me one kiss.

If it's her you want, this is what it takes...
If it's her you want, this is what it takes...

Let's get this over.
(Let's get this over.)
Discuss and deny, soon we simply just lie
(Let's get this over.)
And wait and see if you choose something like me.
If you just open your eyes, you could get out of this,
But your such a success, you're just not built for it.

I never knew how much it takes to accept...
I never knew how much it takes
To accept that you're a fake.

If you just open your eyes, you could get out of this,
(If you just open your eyes...)
But your such a success, you're just not built for it.
(If you just open your eyes...)

Sometimes I think you just need some time.
Sometimes I think you just need some time.
Sometimes I think I need some to get along without.
To get along without...

(To get along without..)
Everyone's saying that they've got the answers.
(To get along without...)
But hope is deceiving and spreads like a cancer.

To get along without...

    General Comment:I think it's a girl who wants to have sex and he's Christian so it's not what he wants, he wants to wait. And 'you're such a success, you're just not built for it' is saying she's so used to not waiting that she doesn't want to bother. And 'passing over me like a book you've read' is how he feels used and that she's not gonna remember him or what they do, she'll just move onto someone else, even if he truly has feelings for her.

    General Comment:It sounds like a manipulative relationship and wanting to get out of it (trying, really), but you can't (or you won't).

    Amazing song.

    General Comment:If I remember correctly, in the cover booklet on one of the pages there is something that says "Where were You when I was..." after that, you can add any of the song titles and it fits...

    I think you need to think of all of these songs as a question to God. You can look at these lyrics like that...

    I agree with latinorocker but also think that this is sort of asking God for help (near the end).

    Maybe I'm looking for a hidden meaning too hard...

    Merry Christmas!

    General Comment:What I got out of this is he's striving to have a relationship with someone with a status higher than his. he knows he there, but chooses to go into relationships with no future. He knows he could make her happy, and have a future with her, but she never decides on him. "If you just open your eyes, you could get out of this,
    But your such a success, you're just not built for it."

    After many attempts in trying to be with her, he realizes what kind of person she really is: shallow anduncaring. "I never knew how much it takes
    To accept that you're a fake."

    General Comment:yup he yells "I could never find such a pretty face, pretty face".....I used to think that he just repeated the last word that the frontman said, but after listen more closely, I found out that he says the before-mentioned. hope that helps and God bless you all.

    General Comment:Guy likes girl. Girl thinks she is too good for guy, but takes advantage of the fact that he likes her so much. He'll do anything to gain her love, but she is just using him.

    Reminds me of Estella and Pip from Great Expectations... Lol...

    Still not 100% sure what the dude is screaming... It does sound like "I...Could Never...Find...Such a pretty face, a pretty face, I..." But I always used to think he was saying "I...Fall Downward...Such a ???" Never did figure it out. I'll just expect it's the pretty face thing. Lol. :P
