There's a cemetery deep below the sea
There is spaces reserved for fools like me
Tried to kill myself at least a dozen times
But nothing seemed to turn out right

Now I'd rather wait a half a century
Soiling the bed belligerent and wrinkly
Even when I go blind and lose my mind
Nothing seems to turn out right
Something's got to turn out right

If you want, then when we die
We'll ascend to some place way up high
The gate will show you through
If they ask me, I'm with you

You're in my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you
In my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you

There's no one who imagines like you
So convinced there's somewhere that we go to
Not a first class trip to the abyss
Tell me too you still feel this
Tell me too you still feel this

As I drown in lakes of fire,
I will call your name as I expire
It's the last thing that I'll do
I will tell them I'm with you

You're in my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you
In my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you

Falling asleep, asleep at the wheel
As I approach that cliff
I'm starting to feel
If you can wake me up, with only a touch
If I can die with you, life would be enough

And I'll face the one you made
My disgusting heart from a lump of clay
Should he ask what got me through?
If he asks me, it was you

You're in my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you
In my body
You're in my body
You're in my body
That's where I think about you

    Song Meaning:The song is about how he is not in control of his life no matter how hard he tries. Most of the verses are based out of Revelations in the bible; such as the reference to lakes of fire and the cemetery below the sea. In my opinion, the chorus is about God being inside of his heart and mind. Finally, he comes to meet God "the one who made his disgusting heart from a lump of clay" and leaves him to say that either his wife or God got him through. Very short summary, but I hope it's helpful

    My Interpretation:its about drugs...
    "Your in my body"
    "If they asked what got me through, if they ask me it was you."
    i thought it was about a girl at first...but the your in my body part didnt make since. I think in an interview or something max did say it was about drugs.

    General Comment:I am in love with this song. Absolutely in love. I don't understand how anyone is able to write such beautiful lyrics and melodies.

    About what I think the song means.. Well, I'm really not sure that's why I came to this website hoping to find some answers and yeah, indeed I did! Thanks guys. I know this is retarded but the tambourine in the background of the chorus is freaking the shit. Makes the part of the song sound so.. DAMN NICE. K, max and sherri = freaking cute.

    General Comment:This song is about max bemis's wife sherry dupree of eisley. It explains how Max used to be jewish while sherry is christian, and max converted to christianity so that he could follow his wife into the afterlife when they die, to be together forever.

    General Comment:if you go to alternative press's website, max explains what all the songs mean
    and he says this one basically means that sinces hes fallen in love, hes no longer afraid to die because he know his soul will live on loving her (im guessing sherri =P)

    i lovelove this song, it reminds me of ..is a real boy.
    i especially love the line
    "Should he ask what got me through. If he asks me, it was you."

    kudos to max (:
