04Mar Something Corporate - Konstantine

My favorite song of all time.

–Lyrics–

I can’t imagine all the people that you know
And the places that you go
When the lights are turned down low
And I don’t understand
All the things you’ve seen
But I’m slipping in between
You and your big… dreams
It’s always you in my big dreams

And you tell me that it’s over
I wake up lying in a patch
Of four leaf clovers

And you’re restless
And I’m naked
You’ve got to get out
You can’t stand to see me shaking, no
Could you let me go?
I didn’t think so

And you don’t want to be here in the future
So you say the present’s just a pleasant
Interruption to the past
And you don’t want to look much closer
Cause you’re afraid to find out all this hope
You had sent into the sky by now had… crashed
And it did
Because of me

And then you bring me home
Afraid to find out that you’re alone, no
And I’m sleeping in your living room
But we don’t have much room
To live

And I had these dreams that I would learn to play guitar
Maybe cross the country
Become a rockstar
And there was hope in me
That I could take you there
But dammit you’re so young
Well I don’t think I care
And if I hurt you then I’m sorry
Please don’t think that this was easy

And then you bring me home
Cause we both know what it’s like to be alone, no
And I’m dreaming in your living room
But we don’t have much room
To live

And Konstantine is walking down the stairs
Doesn’t she look good
Standing in her underwear?
And I was thinking, what I was thinking
But we’ve been drinking
And it doesn’t get me anywhere

My Konstantine came walking down the stairs
And all that I could do
Was touch her long, blonde hair
And I’ve been thinking, but it hurts me thinking
That these nights when we were drinking
No, they never got us anywhere
…no

This is because I can spell konfusion with a K and I could like it
It’s to dying in another’s arms
And why I had to try it
It’s to Jimmy Eat World
And those nights in my car
When the first star you see
May not be a star
I’m not your star
Isn’t that what you said
What you thought the song meant?

And if this is what it takes
Just to lie with my mistakes
And live with what I did to you
All the hell I put you through
I always catch the clock
It’s 11:11
Now you want to talk
It’s not hard to dream
You’ll always be my Konstantine
My Konstantine

They’ll never hurt you like I do
No, they’ll never hurt you like I do, no
No, No, No, No, No, No, No

This is to a girl who got into my head
With all the pretty things she did
Hey, you know, you keep me up in bed
This is to a girl who got into my head
With all the fucked up things I did
Hey, maybe, baby, you could keep me up in bed
My Konstantine

You spin around me like a dream
We played out on this movie screen
And I said,
Did you know I miss you?
Did you know I miss you?
Did you know I miss you?
Did you know I miss you?
Did you know I miss you?
Did you know I miss you?
Did you know I miss you?
I miss you

And then you bring me home
And we go to sleep, but this time not alone, no no
And you’ll kiss me in your living room, ah no
I know you miss me in your living room
Cause these nights I think maybe that I miss you in my living room

But we don’t have much room
I said does anybody need that room?
Because we all need a little more room
To live

My Konstantine
