Lyrics for I Want To Save You as interpreted by ltb

I Want To Save You Lyrics
standing on the edge of morning
scent of sex and new found glory
playing as she's pulling back her hair
she drives away
she's feeling worthless
used again but nothing's different
she stayed the night
but knows he doesn't care

home by three
deafening quiet
the porch light's off
yes they forgot it
she'd cry herself to sleep
but she don't dare
then she wants to be a model
she wants to hear she's beautiful
she's beautiful

i want to save you
i want to save you
i need you
save me too
i want to save you

dressed by dawn and out the door
no light
she memorized the floor
so she could leave without being detected
she works till three
it's uniform
she dreams that he'll come by the store
she prays for days
the boys mean she's protected
and she wants someone to see her
she needs to hear she's beautiful
she's beautiful

i want to save you
i want to save you
i need you
save me too
i want to save you

and she won't sleep
she won't sleep
and she won't sleep
at all

i want to save you
i want to save you
i need you
save me too
i want to save you
(let me save you)
i want to save you
(let me save you)
i want to save you
(let me save you)
i want to save you

The first reason I love this song is because of the line "scent of sex and new found glory playing as she's pulling back her hair" cause NFG is like one of my favorite bands. the other reason is because i always say I want a guy to "save" me. The guy that feels abotu me, the way the person in this song feels about the girl, is the guy i'll be with forever

this is like the best song ever. I cant wait to see them at warped tour. I couldnt see them before becuz the stupid place they played at was a bar so the show was 18 and up. I love something corporate. Buy the CD. This is my theme song.

When I first heard it, I was convinced that they were implying that New Found Glory (the band) smells like sex. "scent of sex and New Found Glory." but then I realized the next word is "playing". Damn.

Damn. My second favorite SC song (after Konstantine). It just puts me in a good mood. I can't go to the Warped Tour because I have to be in a play that night--- FUCK. I am seriously pissed about that. Hopefully SC will go on tour again SOON though :-). There new CD is superb, although I am kind of sad that Konstantine and Little weren't on the track list. They STILL rock though! Of course.

yeah, I completely relate to this song. "she'd stay the night but she knows he doesn't care" ... it is so easy to just sleep with someone to feel needed and wanted, if only for a few minutes ... so, yes, like every other female something corporate fan, I'm sitting here wishing that some fabulous boy would hear this song and dream of me.

i think that you wouldn't wanna be the girl in this song. cause it sounds like she's really in a lot of trouble... sleeping with all these guys who are using her, sneaking about her house. but yes... we all do wish that some boy would be so wonderful as to see us struggling and calling out for someone to love us and to have them do something about it. in our fucking dreams, right?
i just wanted to think that i think *she wants to hear she's beautiful / she's beautiful* is one of the most underrated lines, like... ever. here, this girl is... getting used, sleeping around, just to have someone tell her that she is beautiful. of course, she's going about this all the wrong way and mr. something corporate is telling her... she's beautiful... truly beautiful. not cause he wants to sleep with her... but because he sees the person she is, and the person that he could be if he were with her. he's trying to save her by telling her she's beautiful... for the right reasons. and it's also giving a message to everyone out there that just cause you fucked up a few times in life... doesn't make you any less beautiful. she's still a good person

i agree w/ emo12PUNK12metal on how one wouldn't want to be the girl in the song. this song has great meaning to me, as it does for many out there. this song is about that "pimp/ho paradox." u know that concept. the guy shows the girl some affection so he can get some and the girl gives him some so she can get affection. the verse "she needs to hear she's beautiful, she's beautiful" is the cause of her doing it, her continuing to sleep around or sleep w/ a guy who doesn't care. she does it to hear "she's beautiful." she needs to hear that, so she keeps on doing it. does that make sense?

This song is absolutely amazing. It's catchy and extremely insightful and relates directly to a situation I was in recently. Pretty much every line ties to my girl, but I was especially drawn to "The boys mean she's protected" because the girl I wanted to save surrounded herself with guys even though they used her and it ultimately destroyed things between us. One of the saddest things is when the girl pushes away the nice guy even though it hurts her more in the long run. How can we save someone who doesn't want to be saved? It sucks. Awesome song, tho!

Instead of trying to downloading the song, spend $12 to buy the CD and support the band, dammit!
