Lyrics for My List as interpreted by foldsbaldwin

My List Lyrics
Let me wrap myself around you
You'll show me how I see it
And when you come back in from nowhere
Do you ever think of me?
Your heart, not able
Let me show you, how much I care
I need those eyes to tide me over
I'll take your picture when I go
Gives me strength and gives me patience
But I'll never let you know
I got nothing on you babe
But I always said I'll try
Let me show you
How much I care
Sometimes it gets hard
Don't you know?

Don’t give the ghost up
just clench your fist
You should have known by now
You were on my list
(x3)

Your heart, not able
Your ways, they're not able
Let me show you (x3)
How much I care

When you rock and roll with me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
When you rock and roll with me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be

i think this song is about a man who has gone to war and how a lot of soldiers make a death letter before they die, he talks about this girl and how she is the reason he is perservering....

also, i think it could be about a criminal going to prison and is missing his girl

these lyrics are wrong, well at least the chorus is...i think these are right

Let me wrap myself around you
Let you show me how I see it
And when you come back in from nowhere
Do you ever think of me?
Your heart, is not able
Let me show you, how much I care
I need those eyes to tide me over
I'll take your picture when I go
Gives me strength and gives me patience
But I'll never let you know
I got nothing on you baby
But I always said I'll try
Let me show you
How much I care
Sometimes it gets hard
Don't you know?

Don't give the ghost ??? just clench your fist touch your face
You should know by now
You were on my list
(x3)

Your heart, is not able
Your prayers, they're not fables
Let me show you (x3)
How much I care

When you rock and roll with me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
When you rock and roll with me
There's nowhere else I'd rather be

some parts are not spot on but it sounds like the right lines

i think this song is about a guy who is going to kill himself. he has a list of people who are his motives for ending it all. this girl who was his world ruined him and he can't go on anymore.

Brandon said he wrote it for his wife so basically it's a love song.

i gotta agree with heartbeats on the whole military theme. don't think you could doubt it what with the whole marching beat et all.

there's a few mistakes in the lyrics here though, it's "you should have known by now, you were on my list"

anyhoo, i think it's a great song. and album. it's growing on me like wild fire, but sometimes i can't help but think it lacks the variety of hot fuss(?). you can't pick out quite so many influences. but hey. maybe with further listening i shall change my ways.

I don't know ppl- I heard:
"Don't give the ghost or just cut your wrist,
you should have known by now
you were on my list"

Then later on:

When your heart, is not able,
and you ways, they're not stable,
let me show (x3)
how much I care

to rayne bhow, how on earth are you hearing "Don't give the ghost or just cut your wrist,"!?? think someone needs they're ears syringed gramps, of all the songs on hot fuss this and why do i keep counting are the ones that have been hardest for me to get into but this song has grown on me so much, the whole song along with the marching style drum-beat tells me its gota be something to do with going away t war and saying your goodbyes to your lover in a letter.

"giving the ghost up" means dying. The narrator is telling this person that he/she cares for them and doesn't want them to die.

"Sometimes it gets hard, don't you know?" the singer is saying, everyone goes through hard times, baby, but you gotta fight through it ("just clench your fist"), cause he needs that person.

this is what i got from the song:

Let me wrap myself around you
Let you show me how I see
And when you come back in from no where
Do you ever think of me

Your heart is not able
Let me show you how much I care

I need those eyes to tie me over
I take your picture when I go
Gives me strength and gives me patience
But I'll never let you know

I got nothin' on you, baby
But I always said I'd try
Let me show you how much I care

Sometimes it gets hard
And don't she know

Don't give the ghost up
Just clench your fists
You should have known by now
You were on my list
Don't Give the ghost up
Just clench your fists
You should have known by now
You were on my list
Don't Give the ghost up
Just clench your fists
You should have known by now
You were on my list
(Should have known by now)
Oh your heart is not able
Your prayers, they're not fables
Let me show you (let me show you)
Let me show you (let me show you)
Let me show you how much I care Oh
