lick my lips i’m fading
lick my lips i’m fading
lick my lips i’m fading slowly fading into you
and keep on stop your waiting
keep on stop your waiting
don’t you keep on waiting cause i’m walking away from you

well, we could all change
but i know that you will never change
you shut up the night and when the light hits
you talk to me
i was never so amazed
it was such a mutual craze
between you and me and me and you

lick my lips i’m fading
lick my lips i’m fading
lick my lips i’m fading slowly fading into you
and keep on stop your waiting
keep on stop your waiting
don’t you keep on waiting cause i’m walking away from you

you could never walk away from me
dance around but never be
you know you are the one who knows that
laugh out loud so here it goes
i was never so amazed
it was such a mutual craze
between you and me and me and you

lick my lips i’m fading
lick my lips i’m fading
lick my lips i’m fading slowly fading into you
and keep on stop your waiting
keep on stop your waiting
don’t you keep on waiting cause i’m walking away from you

    General Comment:I think it's about a guy and a girl and they both know there's something there and it can't be ignored yet the girl doesn't want to jump into it and he's being impatient. She does not want to get into a serious relationship and denies the "mutual craze" but he's nagging her to go for it before he gives up on her.

    General Comment:Ok, i relate to this song completely different. For me, it follows something that happened to me exactly. i started dating someone that i was completely amazed with. "i was never so amazed. it was such a mutual craze" explains sooooo perfectly. yet, i had just gotten out of a long, tedious relationship and knew if i started dating this guy, it wasn't going to be just a little "fling" and he knew this. i was open w/ the fact that i wasn't ready, but he kept waiting around but i knew i wasn't going to change...so it was me who walked away."you could never walk away from me. dance around but never be. you know you are the one who knows that..." ahhh...so perfect

    General Comment:The first couple of times I heard this song, I didn't really like it, which was an extreme first for a Howie Day song. It's my friends favorite HD song, and he kept making me listen to it over and over, and kept asking me why I didn't like it. After a while, I couldn't even remember why I didn't enjoy it in the first place. Now, I just freakin' love it, as I do every other song this tallented artist records.

    General Comment:hehe yea he's definitely from Maine. :)


    I heard too that this is about his dog. on my version of At the Stars he says "this is a song I wrote about my dog, I love my dog very much so I wrote a song about him called Lick My Lips." so yea. *shrugs.*

    General Comment:I love howie day!!! His lyrics are really hard to interpret thought. For the most part i believe that it's because of the colloquy. I love his accent too!! You can hear it on "secret".. my favorite song.
