Well you are worth more than the man I am
Sad and in love, hands trembled of life that we would have stolen
Anyway, stolen
Well, anyway
To Brooklyn, I'm homebound
A trap to the east
Marking miles of martyrs
Of better men, of better men than me
And I wanted to tell you, I just didn't know
Genuine and unprepared
If you, you see something then you should say something
If you, you see something could you just say something?
Genuine and unprepared
If you, you see something then you should say something
If you, you see something could you just say something?
Say something.
Something awful itches in these walls
I found a subtle genius in that white, hot hatred of yours
Misuse is practice; perfected and played
In time I'm gonna get what's mine
To Brooklyn, I'm homebound
A trap to the east
Marking miles of martyrs
Of better men, of better men than me
And I wanted to tell you, I just didn't know how
Genuine and unprepared
If you, you see something then you should say something
If you, you see something could you just say something?
Genuine and unprepared
If you, you see something then you should say something
If you, you see something could you just say something?
Say something
Oh we are going, we're going, we're..
Once, twice, three times, sold!
You're better off believing everything you heard was true
You're better off believing everything you heard was
You're better off believing everything you heard was true
You're better off believing everything you heard was
Genuine and unprepared
If you, you see something then you should say something
If you, you see something could you just say something?
Genuine and unprepared
If you, you see something then you should say something
If you, you see something could you just say something?
You say something
Say something.
Sad and in love, hands trembled of life that we would have stolen
Anyway, stolen
Well, anyway
To Brooklyn, I'm homebound
A trap to the east
Marking miles of martyrs
Of better men, of better men than me
And I wanted to tell you, I just didn't know
Genuine and unprepared
If you, you see something then you should say something
If you, you see something could you just say something?
Genuine and unprepared
If you, you see something then you should say something
If you, you see something could you just say something?
Say something.
Something awful itches in these walls
I found a subtle genius in that white, hot hatred of yours
Misuse is practice; perfected and played
In time I'm gonna get what's mine
To Brooklyn, I'm homebound
A trap to the east
Marking miles of martyrs
Of better men, of better men than me
And I wanted to tell you, I just didn't know how
Genuine and unprepared
If you, you see something then you should say something
If you, you see something could you just say something?
Genuine and unprepared
If you, you see something then you should say something
If you, you see something could you just say something?
Say something
Oh we are going, we're going, we're..
Once, twice, three times, sold!
You're better off believing everything you heard was true
You're better off believing everything you heard was
You're better off believing everything you heard was true
You're better off believing everything you heard was

If you, you see something then you should say something
If you, you see something could you just say something?
Genuine and unprepared
If you, you see something then you should say something
If you, you see something could you just say something?
You say something
Say something.

The second verse is about how well he knows the other. The "something awful itches in these walls" refers to his feelings and how they're trapped and wanting to get out. "Found a subtle genious in that white, hot, hatred of yours." this line is quite open. it could refer to when they first met and got to know each other and how he looked passed the outside and saw the true person. "Misuse is practiced, perfected, and played." Maybe he's done wrong trying to get the other to see his feelnigs or he's fucked up in one way or another. "In time I'm gonna get what's mine." He's confident either the person will return his feelings or he'll be able to live with the outcome that comes from it.
of course there's many ways to interpret the song, this is just mine :] i think the whole 9/11 theory is quite interesting and could be a possibility.
I look at the song the same way as you do in most ways, excpet I think that maybe he dated a girl or loves this girl and she's with someone else who he knows is a better person than him, but he knows that if it were him with the girl that they would've "stolen life"
I liked your view on the "misuses practiced, perfect and played in time I'm gonna get what's mine" but I see that line as him saying that girls in the past have misused him, and in time he'll get someone great to him and great for him.
But ya. I really liked your thoughts on this song.
If you ever have a long distance relationship (or even go to different schools) telling people that you know that live near your partner If you see something tell me is common. That's where I think "If you see something, say something" came from. As to Brooklyn, I think he had to move to Brooklyn and that made it a long distance relationship.

I think this has a referance to 9/11 even though I don't know too much about it being in Australia too many things fit tho
