I swear I tried again
You’re never visible on the weekdays
When I need you to
Do what you can’t afford to do
You better watch your tone
You’re not invincible
You know I’ll do what I have to do
To stop the sound coming from you
Cause the truth is
You’re probably not as bad
As I make you out to be
To the boys and the girls
That will listen closely know
I’m the one that is sorry
You can write the coolest songs
I was wrong, I was wrong
This isn’t working out
You’re only logical on Sundays
When you can follow through
Exactly what I told you to do
Please just pick up the phone
Am I invisible?
Now you know
I didn’t mean a thing
When I said you could barely sing
Cause the truth is
You’re probably not as bad
As I thought that you were being
To the boys and myself
We’re just tired of listening
I’m the one that is sorry
Help me write the coolest songs
I was wrong, I was wrong
Cause the truth
Is that no one
Truly knows
What the hell it is you’re doing
When they ask are you dead
Or are you just sleeping?
I am the one that is happy
I don’t like your shitty songs
You were wrong
You were wrong
You’re never visible on the weekdays
When I need you to
Do what you can’t afford to do
You better watch your tone
You’re not invincible
You know I’ll do what I have to do
To stop the sound coming from you
Cause the truth is
You’re probably not as bad
As I make you out to be
To the boys and the girls
That will listen closely know
I’m the one that is sorry
You can write the coolest songs
I was wrong, I was wrong
This isn’t working out
You’re only logical on Sundays
When you can follow through
Exactly what I told you to do
Please just pick up the phone
Am I invisible?
Now you know
I didn’t mean a thing
When I said you could barely sing
Cause the truth is
You’re probably not as bad
As I thought that you were being
To the boys and myself
We’re just tired of listening
I’m the one that is sorry
Help me write the coolest songs
I was wrong, I was wrong
Cause the truth
Is that no one
Truly knows
What the hell it is you’re doing
When they ask are you dead
Or are you just sleeping?
I am the one that is happy
I don’t like your shitty songs
You were wrong
You were wrong

Andy growing up trying to have satisfactions is his faith for god he was to material and needed proof but deep down he knows that its not all sham even though to his peers he may have spoken as if Christianity was a sham.

continuing to struggle with his faith lines like please pick up the phone he is begging for god to answer his prayers now pursuing music he wants god to help him make his life he prays to be for gods help to write good songs the i was wrong lines at the end are now in hindsight he was wrong to think of god as so material
Cause the truth
Is that no one
Truly knows
What the hell it is you’re doing
When they ask are you dead
Or are you just sleeping?
I am the one that is happy
I don’t like your shitty songs
You were wrong
You were wrong
Now later in life and successful Andy has learned a valuable number of lessons the biggest that his faith is enough the reality is that none of us really know or may never know he figures out that he is the one that has the power as a person already given to him by god to be the person he wants to be and answer his own prayers this verse is also an attack on other religious bands/songs/Christians that are that are materialistic about god and their relationship with him 'you were wrong' 'i was wrong' andy is no longer wrong.
P.S I'm not religious its just self explanatory.
I dont know if this is what the song is truely about but it was my first impression. :)
"You�re never visible on the weekdays
When I need you to"
"Cause the truth
Is that no one
Truly knows
What the hell it is you�re doing
When they ask are you dead
Or are you just sleeping?"
Maybe I'm wrong?
To me, it seems more like it's talking about a friend who's never there for you, etc.
So your wrongg.
the lyrics are correct
I think it's about a friend of all his friends that everyone is worried about impressing. this person is considered talented, but is pretentious and prideful.
the writer is resentful because he's the only one who sees through how phony this person is.
He's saying 'your probably not that bad', but in the end he drops all his pretenses and lets his real feelings come out.
yeah I'm glad I don't write your shitty songs!
that part always makes me smile, great song,
this album is incredible.
Or are you just sleeping?"
--Manchester Orchestra - Alice and Interiors
"Are you dead or are you sleeping?
Are you dead or are you sleeping?
Are you dead or are you sleeping?
God, I sure hope you are dead."
--Modest Mouse- Satin In a Coffin

u know the oppening

thanks.
oh and does anybody have the nobody sings anymore album?
cause i'd love to have that too.
