You've got a nerve giving me the cold shoulder
Giving me the twice over, that's not deserved
And we'll talk again when you're sober
You said that I've got cold and our heat has gone
I wanna be your eyes
So you can see what you've done
I wanna be your ears
So you can hear everything that's been missing
Finders keepers
Will you keep me in mind?
I like secrets
Cause they keep me in line
Old habits die hard
But I'm too young to die
I guess it's a mess if you make your bed
So why are we still laying in it?
And I could barely sleep, I could barely eat
And it's been three whole weeks
Since I heard you speak
So hard to take
That eighteen months was built to break
Oh, I love mistakes
Especially ones you've made
I bet you're sorry
Finders keepers
Will you keep me in mind?
I like secrets
Cause they keep me in line
Old habits die hard
But I'm too young to die
Finders keepers
The whole thing is a lie
You won't find her
Cause she's too hard to find
Take my advice and boy, run a mile
And have another drink
And then think this one over
You dig yourself a grave everyday you're sober
Do you see what I mean?
Have your best interest written all over me
I could never be what you need
Finders keepers
Will you keep me in mind?
I like secrets
Cause they keep me in line
Old habits die hard
But I'm too young to die
Finders keepers
The whole thing is a lie
You won't find her
Cause she's too hard to find
Take my advice and boy, run a mile
And I bet you guess me right
(You guess me yes, you guessed me right)
I bet you guess me right
Giving me the twice over, that's not deserved
And we'll talk again when you're sober
You said that I've got cold and our heat has gone
I wanna be your eyes
So you can see what you've done
I wanna be your ears
So you can hear everything that's been missing
Finders keepers
Will you keep me in mind?
I like secrets
Cause they keep me in line
Old habits die hard
But I'm too young to die
I guess it's a mess if you make your bed
So why are we still laying in it?
And I could barely sleep, I could barely eat
And it's been three whole weeks
Since I heard you speak
So hard to take
That eighteen months was built to break
Oh, I love mistakes
Especially ones you've made
I bet you're sorry
Finders keepers
Will you keep me in mind?
I like secrets
Cause they keep me in line
Old habits die hard
But I'm too young to die
Finders keepers
The whole thing is a lie
You won't find her
Cause she's too hard to find
Take my advice and boy, run a mile
And have another drink
And then think this one over
You dig yourself a grave everyday you're sober
Do you see what I mean?
Have your best interest written all over me
I could never be what you need
Finders keepers
Will you keep me in mind?
I like secrets
Cause they keep me in line
Old habits die hard
But I'm too young to die
Finders keepers
The whole thing is a lie
You won't find her
Cause she's too hard to find
Take my advice and boy, run a mile
And I bet you guess me right
(You guess me yes, you guessed me right)
I bet you guess me right

You've got a nerve
Giving me the cold shoulder
Giving me the twice over when it's not deserved
We'll talk again when you're sober
You'll say that I've got cold and our heat is gone
I want to be your eyes so that you can see what you've done
I want to be your ears so that you can hear everything that's been missing
Finders keepers
Will you keep me in mind?
I like secrets
Cos they keep me in line
Old habits die hard
But I am too young to die
I guess that a mess
Is what you make of it
So why are we still laying in it?
I can barely sleep, I can barely eat
It's been three whole weeks since I heard you speak
Oh, it's hard to take
That eighteen months was built to break
Oh, I love mistakes
Especially ones you've made
I bet you're sorry
Finders keepers
Will you keep me in mind?
I like secrets
Cos they keep me in line
Old habits die hard
But I am too young to die
Finders keepers
The whole thing is a lie
You won't find her
Cos she's too hard to find
Take my advice and boy run a mile
Have another drink
And then think this one over
You dig yourself a grave
Everyday you're not sober
Do you see what I mean?
I have your best interest written all over me
I could never be what you need
Finders keepers
Will you keep me in mind?
I like secrets
Cos they keep me in line
Old habits die hard
But I am too young to die
Finders keepers
The whole thing is a lie
You won't find her
Cos she's too hard to find
Take my advice and boy run a mile
And I bet you guess me right (x2)

That's it! :)
i think it's about a relationship that broke (obviously) after eighteen months. the girl is always drunk and that upsets the guy. maybe she drowns her feelings and sorrows in alcohol. the guy thinks that it's the girls fault and vice versa (You said I've got cold and our heat has gone. I wanna be your eyes so you can see what you've done. I wanna be your ears so you can hear everything that's been missing).
the saying finders keepers is a lie, because he found her and kept her for 18 months but wasn't able to keep her forever.
i think the line "old habits die hard and im too young to die" refers to him being her "old habit" because they were dating for such a long time and now she wants him gone. he on the other hand doesnt want to leave because hes "too young to die", which means he does not really want this relationship to end (which makes me think that the girl broke up with him). also the second verse points in that direction.
later in the song he turns to be rather mad than sad... he warns the other boys to stay away from her because shes not a good match and he warns her that she will be sorry and will understand what she lost someday...
thats only my interpretation, but i think it totally fits the lyrics^^
Well I guess it's a mess
That you may confess...
and i think its 'you guess, guess, me right' at the end.
as for a meaning, josh recently broke up with his girlfriend, so yeahh...
but she wont admit it
When it goes 'I bet you guess me right' im not too sure what that means so if anyone has a prefrence then that would be fab!!
Hope this is almost correct.. goes well to my ex :D
This sounds different to their other stuff, it's cool how they can keep coming up with original songs.
And of course Josh's voice is as brillant as ever.
