Say Anything - All Choked Up

[knightss]

These lyrics are so poetic.. 8 minutes long but the entire song is great. I don't know if there's more than one version but the version i have sounds like a home recorded demo of the song. Check it out if you can find it =)

Thank God I don’t think out loud
Too many thoughts in my head right now
Mostly concerning the moonlight
And it’s dance across your neck
I’m out of practice…and you smell like roses.

I’m the mortal soldier Your Queen of Hearts
All I want is to show you how your nothing
Like all of them tell you
To be more than just a cricket on your shoulder
A little closer

Feelings shook me
Don’t let me leave without a word
I’ll never give in
I’m letting my mind win the war with my heart again
You are timeless
I am a fool in love with time
I’ve always believed in you
Want to be more than that tonight
And live for the moment…
But that takes too much pride
You will stay what I’ll never have.

I’d shape up and put on weight
Cross out my calendar marked to the date
Where we meet on some mystic veranda
To dance, I’d show you skills I’ve not forgotten
I’d spoil you rotten

So don’t be afraid for better or worse
Let’s dive head first
We can think about this later
When we’re not so jaded…so jaded
I can’t go on the way I’ve gone forever
A new endeavor is oh so needed and…

Feelings scare you
You never look me in the eye
Don’t ever change
I just want you to know
the complacency's always be staged
I was blinded, until you opened up my eyes
I’ve always believed in you
Want to be more than that tonight
And live for the moment
But that takes too much pride
You will stay what I’ll…

Never had if I tried Damned if I don't.
What if I died without being with you
I can try all I want
The feelings would taunt saying ‘loser we see through you.’

And forgive me love
These thoughts are not my own
They were put in my mind by aliens
To keep me home alone.
And forgive me love For wanting you.
Blame it on those eyebrows arching over baby blues

Oh you. Oh you.
And live for the moment but that takes too much pride.
You will stay what I'll never have.
Oh can you see me now?
Do you hear me now?
Do you see Me now?
Could you save me now?
Do you hear me now?
Could you see me now?
Could you save me now?
I'm choking... I'm choking...

aww that song's amazing, i actually like how it sounds live, or like he recorded it in one take in front of an audience, gives it more character. Say Anything always give me the impression that their lyrics are heartfelt.
