This year, all but disappeared,
Bought into fairy tales,
But sleeping beauty just
Kept score and tried to sleep more
She said "I'm not quite, myself tonight,
But the way you touch me, oh, makes me tongue tied,
That could be the wine too."
Kiss quick, I've got a line out the door
Who all think they can save me.
One by one they lay the world at my feet,
One by one they drive me crazy.
She said "I know Love,
And it's all push and shove,
So stop talking
And put your back into it."
Loaded, oh my hands shook to hold it
I turned her body on, I turned her body on myself.
Kiss Quick, I've got a line out the door
Who all think they can save me.
One by one they lay the world at my feet,
One by one they drive me crazy.
Shut your mouth,
Pull me out, before this all goes gray.
One by one they lay the world at my feet.
One by one they go away.
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Come on, come on,
Kiss quick, I've got a line out the door
Who all think they can save me.
Oh, one by one they lay the world at my feet.
One by one they drive me crazy.
Shut your mouth,
And pull me out before this all goes gray.
One by one they lay the world at my feet.
One by one they go away.
They go away.
They go away.
Sold my blood for money,
Baby, baby.
And I love how it feels.
And this year, all but disappears.
Bought into fairy tales,
But sleeping beauty just
Kept score and tried to sleep more
She said "I'm not quite, myself tonight,
But the way you touch me, oh, makes me tongue tied,
That could be the wine too."
Kiss quick, I've got a line out the door
Who all think they can save me.
One by one they lay the world at my feet,
One by one they drive me crazy.
She said "I know Love,
And it's all push and shove,
So stop talking
And put your back into it."
Loaded, oh my hands shook to hold it
I turned her body on, I turned her body on myself.
Kiss Quick, I've got a line out the door
Who all think they can save me.
One by one they lay the world at my feet,
One by one they drive me crazy.
Shut your mouth,
Pull me out, before this all goes gray.
One by one they lay the world at my feet.
One by one they go away.
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Come on, come on,
Kiss quick, I've got a line out the door
Who all think they can save me.
Oh, one by one they lay the world at my feet.
One by one they drive me crazy.
Shut your mouth,
And pull me out before this all goes gray.
One by one they lay the world at my feet.
One by one they go away.
They go away.
They go away.
Sold my blood for money,
Baby, baby.
And I love how it feels.
And this year, all but disappears.

All he wants is a real love that can save him but each is just a step... A move on... A quick kiss. And each year or each relationship is just wasted year... That dissaperared. Girls just threw themselves at him... The wine, and the put your back into it lines are straight up sexy... These girls are using him when he actually wants something real which goes back to the fairytale...
But I agree with 2 post ago, probably my fav song on the new album. It is so good and so strong a so deep and crushing... It hurts but feels so good....
I believe that's what the bridge means---- "sold my blood for money"---- hes losing the meaning of life -love- in this moderness of the world... The modern love, where it's fame and flash over love and class.... After all that's the whole theme of this album and he said this song was what shaped that whole theme so I think the whole point of the song is in the is modern day world we cannot find real love but rather it's just quick kisses and even faster "bangs" that don't fulfill what love really is... Which is everything.
I hope some agree with what I feel in this song, this is my first post, and I don't wanna look stupid.... This song meant that much to me... I had to share what it made me feel.
P.s. I have been through a very similar situation with a girl, hope it all worked out for you.
Take Care.
She's so tired of love that's failed, love that she put herself out there so many times, but has been so disappointed by its fairytale promises that she just gives up.
"but Sleeping Beauty just kept score/and tried to sleep more" - it's like she wants to live a fairytale, but she's so exhausted by her past that all she wants to do is sleep, she doesn't even want to really try at love and relationships anymore.
The singer seems to be like the "prince charming" coming to save her, but he's in shock with her harshness. She seems to see him as "just another guy" coming to try and save her again.
"Kiss quick, I got a line out the door / who all think they can save me. /One by one they lay the world at my feet, /one by one they drive me crazy."
Those lyrics are so haunting. Its so sad to relate to this so well, to have so many people in your life that think they can save you, but in the end they all disappoint. I imagine a girl in her bed, who once believed in all these fairy tales and now is just so emotionless on the matters of love, it's just another business transaction instead of something whimsical.
