I want to know your plans and how involved in them I am.
When I go to sleep for good will I be forgiven?
And If you want roses you can go buy a bouquet.
If that just won't cut it, well what can I say?
You're what keeps me believing the world's not long dead,
Strength in my bones put words in my head.
When they pour out to paper, it's all for you.
'Cause that's what you do. That's what you do.
I want to know your fears, from your feet to the back of your ears.
When they raise the landing gear will your heart stay here?
If you could forgive me for being so brash, well you
you could hit me or whip me, I'd savor each lash.
You're what keeps me believing the world's not long dead,
Strength in my bones put words in my head.
When they pour out to paper.
It's all for you. Cause that's what you do.
No more fighting.
This is only a waste of our time 'cause soon we'll be leaving.
Will this strength still be mine?
I'll look out for you until I die, 'til I rot.
I'll remember you until I die, 'til I rot.
When I go to sleep for good will I be forgiven?
And If you want roses you can go buy a bouquet.
If that just won't cut it, well what can I say?
You're what keeps me believing the world's not long dead,
Strength in my bones put words in my head.
When they pour out to paper, it's all for you.
'Cause that's what you do. That's what you do.
I want to know your fears, from your feet to the back of your ears.
When they raise the landing gear will your heart stay here?
If you could forgive me for being so brash, well you
you could hit me or whip me, I'd savor each lash.
You're what keeps me believing the world's not long dead,
Strength in my bones put words in my head.
When they pour out to paper.
It's all for you. Cause that's what you do.
No more fighting.
This is only a waste of our time 'cause soon we'll be leaving.
Will this strength still be mine?
I'll look out for you until I die, 'til I rot.
I'll remember you until I die, 'til I rot.

"You cloud hit me or whip me, and I'd savor each lash"
^^ Amazing lyric. :D
just a thought =p
i think they both have the same general meaning. he loves someone and wants to know if they see him in their future (i want to know your plans and how involved in them i am). but it seems like this one is a little more specific. the person he loves is going away in the fall, maybe off to college or something? (when you leave for good this fall will i be forgiven) and he doesn't know if it will last or if they'll forget him once they go away (i want to know your fears and if you'll forget me next year/when the jets go up and out will our hearts stay here).
i completely relate to this version. cause i'm in that whole person-you-love-is-going-away-to-college-soon situation. so i guess that's why i like it a little more.
Personally, I like the CD version better. It has much more meaning to me.
"And If you want roses, I'll buy a bouquet.
If that just won't cut it, what can I say?"
its supposed to be
"And if you want roses, THEN go by a bouquet."
Thats the whole tone of the song, this guy isn't the perfect gentleman and doesn't care about flowers, the love he feels for this girl is so much more.
This version completely misses the whole meaning that Max was trying to portray.
*You're what keeps me believing this world's not long dead.
Strength in my bones and the words in my head.*
best line ever
