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

first off, great song and phenominal band. to me, this song is about a boy who wants to save a girl, obviously. hes got all the love in the world for her, so in return he needs her to save him by letting him be with her and let out this amazing love he has for her, or else his life would be in ruins. this is such a great song cause it shows they both need eachother and save eachother by being together. without one, the other would be lost. but together, they are both saved, because of the other (thats confusing im sure, but just think about it). if im way off on this, i dont care, cause thats what it means to me, and thats the beauty of music.

I love this song :) Everyone feels that way sometimes. But to be completely honest, I think most of the people who have commented so far are complete idiots. "Oh when is someone going to save me? I'm going to complain about everyone on the internet and look for pityyyyy." Sorry, but no... just no.

On a nicer note, SoCo owns my soul :)

oh man. last night i was talking to my brother who is back visiting his ex girlfriend(who he still loves) in oregon (where we use to live). they broke up because we moved otherwise they would have most likely been engaged by now. now she is living in a trashy apartment and is engaged to this horrible 20 year old loser with now job no money but lots of drug and sex. anyway my brother and i were talking on the internet last night while he was at her apartment and she and her bf were in the othher room having sex. i was crying because i felt so horrible that my brother (one of the nicest, most honest loving people i know) had to go through that. i was trying to help him help her, but he said he has tried everything. he is now so lost and scared but doing everything he can to save her. when i listened to this song and many other SoCo songs i realize why he is crazy about them. they are a great band. i think probably my favorite band! but i am just really sad for my brother...i guess everyone needs to be saved sometime.

hey, i think this songs about ether him knowing like a prostitute(prob not) or just a girl who sleeps around when it doesnt mean anything 2 the guy but she wants something more.. he just wants 2 help her realize that someone does love her and she deserves better...

SoCo is amazing<333

leaving through the window is the best cd ever

I think we've all been the girl in this song at one point.. and we've all been the saver as well.

All she really wants is love and she's sleeping around to find it, but that only makes her feel worse, and he wants her to know she's more than that.

We've all done things we should't when we were hurt and lonely... and we've all tried to bring someone else back from what that does to you.

This was my favorite SoCo song for a really long time..

i love this song loads. somehow evil water got into my discman and got onto LTTW and wrecked I want to save you so I had to get a new copy. Actually I made my friend buy it for me for my birthday and then I gave her the one without I want to save you.

But it's not, the porch lights off, YES they forgot it, it's GUESS they forgot it. (And guess who's cool and checked the lyric booklet because she thought it wasn't right...yeah, me, that's how.)

well since no one truly said the meaning of this song...hence the website name song meanings i suppose as a lyrics writer hes telling a story of a girl. oviously. but its about a girl who sleeps around and isnt satisfied with her life and she misses her ex boyfriend and this guy is watching it all wishing he could help her....so yea tak eit or leave it theres not much else to it
but soco is amazing...so full of talent it makes me throw up and smile at the same time

I love this song, & just like everyone else, i can totally relate... especially because of some recent events.. i agree that the best parts of the song are: "she wants to hear she's beautiful she's beautiful" & "she prays for days, the boys mean she's protected" but no ones seemed to mention "she's feeling worthless, used again but nothing's different" and to me, that part is the most meaningful, its so true, you hope that itll help make you feel a little bit better but you still feel like shit the next day, its a continueous cycle that jsut keeps going until someone "saves you".. ah, life, gotta love it

This song is probally one of my fav's ever. This song kind of makes me sad becasue it is like they are singing about me.

she drives away
she's feeling worthless
used again but nothing's different
she stayed the night
but knows he doesn't care

Sometime si feel worthless and i go away (driveaway in this case) I alwyas am getting used and i feel sad everytime. Sometime I think my friends dont care for me.

she prays for days
the boys mean she's protected

Thats so me!

and she wants someone to see her
she needs to hear she's beautiful
she's beautiful

Thats also me! I need someone to let me know I am worthful...

Personally, it reads to me like the girl is a prostitute.

"she drives away
she's feeling worthless
used again but nothing's different"

I think this makes even more beautiful. This song is just truly amazing, and definately in one of my top soco songs of all time. Its just so mindblowing. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

amazing. this song is great.

"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."

we all need someone to tell us we're beautiful sometime...

ok, so basically this song defines my entire being. i think every teenager can relate to "standing on the edge of morning" after sneaking out and getting "dressed by dawn and out the door" oh, and i KNOW we've all memorized those creaks in the floor so that we "could leave without being detected" i looooove this song. i love how SoCo can capture teen life so specifically. i honestly don't know how i survived before i was introduced to them.
