Freeze, it's time to take you home
it feels so early but I promised I would bring you to your door
now our lips are numb as we walk sharing warm alcohol
that kiss tastes like summer
I hope you like the stars I stole for you
one hundred million twinkle lights in neon blue
I'll be the brightest someday, I'll be the brightest you'll see
don't rain on my parade
it's gonna glow in the dark
I like it better when you can't keep warm
don't ruin a perfect thing
the boy on the blue moon dreams of sun
now as the rain falls like shattered pieces of glass from the sky
we bleed like water colors and drunken pastels down the stairways
and I ask myself, why do I still pray
when will it end
and who fucking cares
I swear to God I did what I could
I practically begged you
I pretended everything was fine
a soul sacrifice, an American nightmare
I'd rather be dead
don't rain on my parade
it's gonna glow in the dark
I like it better when you can't keep warm
don't ruin a perfect thing
the boy on the blue moon hears a nightmare in his head
I'll bet you money as you're running to the bathroom
you barely started drinking but your beauty never stopped you
you died in California by the sulfur and the sea
I guess I never should have loved you
but I do forever because you loved me
and I break my glasses as I fall in the street
if you were gonna leave this world how could it be without me
now it's all over my tongue and still it has no taste
because without you there is no me
there's no me at all
sometimes love dies like a dog
so why don't we just let this one take care of itself
don't rain on my parade
it's gonna glow in the dark
I like it better when you can't keep warm
don't ruin a perfect thing
the boy on the blue moon dreams
I'm losing a perfect thing

    General Comment:Mannn, I fell asleep to this song not to long ago, and I had a INTENSEE dream...But I'm not gonna tell it xD

    Well, I'm not exactly sure what the meaning of this song is...but it is pretty intense. It puts a really deep image in my mind. Especially "I'll bet your money as you run into the bathroom, you barely started drinking but your beauty never stopped you."

    This WHOLE song puts a deep intense image in my head. I guess thats why I had a dream bout it.

    My Interpretation:"The lyrics talk about an unhealthy co-dependent relationship in which I couldn’t live without the other person because if you took her away, I would lose half of myself. It’s about obsession and desperation, and the stupid things you do when you’re in love."
    -vic himselff.

    General Comment:There's a movie called "The Boy Who Could Fly" is about an autistic boy who changes the life a the girl next door, who ends up falling in love with him. I don't know what it has to do with the song, but it's definitely interesting.

    My Opinion:Well, i absouluty loveee Pierce the Veil &
    i likeee listenn to this songg 24/7 , but yea what people are sayinng
    up theree is making sense , causee shes is to wrapped up into herself ,
    & cares to much about her appearence , & weight . That is making his dreams like get ruined
    cause shes depressed about herself . So pretty much hes saying
    " I guess I never should have loved you
    but I do forever because you loved me "
    he loves her even through all the shit the girl has putting him through .
    & alsooo ,
    " I swear to God I did what I could
    I practically begged you
    I pretended everything was fine "
    He attempted to helpp herr , & other stuff .
    So this song is pretty much about a girl worrying about the little things ,
    & her boyfriend begging her to stop & he loved her through all .
    & the terrible lost of her cause she died <3 .
    My god this song makes me cry , i always dream of me & my bestfriend Patrick
    going through this <3 .

    General Comment:it's amazing :) i'm so excited for the new cd.
    i guess in my opinion it's about a girl whom the writer (vic) was romantically involved, but lost her ("i'm losing a perfect thing") but he still wants to get her back because he still loves her, even if she doesn't love him ("i guess i never should have loved you but i do forever because you loved me"). i could be wrong, but i've gone through something way similar to what i described so it works for me :P
