It was meant to be
but all along it never meant a thing
never stopped to ask you why
you didn't pass me by
did you see me in your life
flash before your eyes
was it just that i wasn't hard enough,
hard enough for you

Stop using my
confusion
wait, wait

theres a world out there
Don't you deny me
give me one last wish
theres a world out there

elementary
i solved them all
all your mysteries
settle down and in good time
we can solve all mine
tell me lies or tell me when
tear me up again
I will let you know
when I've had enough,
had enough of you

I know you've got your reasons
hey lets call it even
turn out all the lights and go to bed
Still I get this feeling
no one will believe me
when i let these ghosts outside my head

    Anyone who values creativity and originality like the Foo Fighters music because they have both. You must enjoy kicking puppies. :P

    You're bland and repetitive
    so screw you =]

    The Foo are one of the very few bands around today that just can't be called repetitive; they have an awesome amount of variation in their music. Dave Grohl can scream and sing (quite a rare talent), and the different emotions provoked by the entire back catalogue of the Foo Fighters are on an entirely new level.

    Plus they're fucking amazing live - saw them at Wembley in June >.

    General Comment:now mattehboy101, i'll agree with you that this one song is rather bland, but overall, pound for pound, the foo's are the best rock band of the last 15 years

    General Comment:This song contains maybe on of Dave Grohl's best lines ever: "Did you see me when your life flashed before your eyes?"

    That line is so deep but obvious. Did I mean enough to you that, when your life is over, you will remember me?
