Are you saying love
Or are you saying nothing
Still life is a crime
That I can't ignore
Your perfect ways will follow
The temperature that's rising
All this time you never me think

It was the hardest part to know
It was the fastest we could run
It was the farthest we could go
You are a lie, my angel

Cause for hate and cause for ending
It sounds so easy
But everytime we were supposed to let go
We'd make love
Now pull me closer after he'd take over

Call me your way, call me away
Don't end it open
I tried to love you like before
If this was a night
It was the best one of our lives

Are you saying now
Or are you saying never
Your still-frame in my mind cannot be ignored
And all I can remember
Is the way you moved your body
And how your lips never said no
But it was killing you inside
Cause you thought I was the one
And now it's out of your control
You have arrived, my angel

Cause for hate and cause for ending
It sounds so easy
But everytime we were supposed to let go
We'd make love
Now pull me closer, let the heat take over (you)
You

We were drawing lines not to cross
So we would never feel a thing
And now it's breaking you apart
Just like it broke your heart

Cause for hate and cause for ending
It sounds so easy
But everytime we were supposed to let go
We'd make love
Now pull me closer, let the heat take over (you)

Call me your way, call me away
Don't end it open
I tried to love you like before
If this was our night
It was the best one of our lives

    General Comment:I swear to god, every single song e|b sings is about this relationship I had with an ex.

    I think Fender pretty much describes it perfectly. I'm not even sure if I need to.

    My favorite line is the one about drawing lines... I find it ironic, the reason what happened between my ex and I was because we never COULD draw any lines. That was the problem, we had no line between being friends and being more-than-friends.

    So yeah. I don't think I need to say anything else about it.

    General Comment:I have listened to this song so many times and really hits home for me. I feel it talks about a relationship that has ended. Its ended for because they have gone as far as the relationship could go. They break it off and push each other away, yet everytime they end it, they come back to each other one more time. They set boundries to keep away from each other and each time they go back again and again, but after every time they meet, they set those boundries again. When they are together, they let their bodies and don't think with their minds. Everytime they are together, it is supposed to be the last time, so if it is the last time "it was the best one of our lives." The relationship is on and off. They know they can't be together, but they can't stand to be apart.

    Just my thoughts on it. A great song!

    General Comment:According to Matisyn in an interview on Rockline the other day, "Q" is referring to the physics term for heat, which would make sense given the lyrics.

    This is a song about a sexual relationship where one partner starts to want more from it, and the other tries to back off.

    General Comment:This: "We are alive my angel

    Carcerated
    A tougher ending"

    Should be...

    "You are a lie, my angel

    Cause for hate and cause for ending"

    This: "Now pull me closer after he'd take over you
    You"
    Should be...
    "Now pull me closer, let the heat take over" (you)"


    This: "Cut me away
    Cut me away
    Don't end it up and"

    Should be...
    "Call me your way, call me away
    Don't end it open"

    And, it is...
    "If this was our night
    It was the best one of our lives"

    Also...
    "Your still-frame in my mind cannot be ignored"

    This: "You have arised my angel"
    Should be...
    "You have arrived, my angel"

    This: "And we're were drawling lines not to cross"
    Should be...
    "We were drawing lines not to cross"

    Sorry...don't mean to be picky. Bought the album yesterday and I really love this song. I checked the booklet for the lyrics and people seemed to have trouble figuring out the lyrics, so I thought I'd help.

    I get chills during the chorus...loving the album, and this song...

    General Comment:I think it says "let the heat take over" instead of "after he'd take over" .
