ANBERLIN LYRICS

"Never Take Friendship Personal"

There's a hatchet got a knifeWhen I awoke there was nothing real in this life

But dreams are so intoxicating, (intoxicating)

When you're doing this alone

Gun, rope, brick on the way

But words have no meaning when its you that says

I really do care, no baby I, I really do care!

Innocence gone, never take friendship personal

If you can't hold yourself togetherWhy should I hold you now?

In a sense gone, never take friendship personal

If you can't hold yourself together

Why should I hold you now?

Once a skeptic, now the critic

And you think that you finally found a place of your own.

Amongst the cold and timid souls

Where only failure knows your name

Look around for the closest to blame

But look no further than the hands beneath your arms

and now your 6 feet down, buried with,

with your passing fame fame fame fame.




In a sense gone, never take friendship personalIf you can't hold yourself together


Oh, oh, oh, you lie

Tell me something more than what you tried to hide

If you can't find yourself, then how can I expect to find you.

Oh, oh, oh, you cry

Tell me something more than what you try

The greatest tragedy is not your death

But a life without reason, your life has no purpose


2/10

Your life has no reason, your life has no purpose




In a sense gone, never take friendship personal






"Paperthin Hymn"

When your only friends are hotel rooms

Hands are distant lullabies

If I could turn around I would tonight

These roads never seemed so long

Since your paper heart stopped beating leaving me suddenly alone

Will daybreak ever come?

Who's gonna call on Sunday morning?

Who's gonna drive you home?

I just want one more chance

To put my arms in fragile hands

I thought you said forever

Over and over

A sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion

These thoughts run through my head

Over and over

Complaints of violins become my only friends

August evenings

Bring solemn warnings

To remember to kiss the ones you love goodnight

You never know what temporal days may bring

Laugh, love, live free and sing


3/10

When life is in discord

Praise ye the lord

Who's gonna call on Sunday morning?

Who's gonna drive you home?

I just want one more chance

To put my arms in fragile hands


Over and over

The sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion


Over and over



over and over

The sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion


over and over



over and over


"Stationary Stationery"

do they not have pen or paper where you are

'cause i haven't heard from you in ages

i relive each memory

from time to timeread notes exchanged

with all those scented pages

it's coming backit's all coming back to me now

tell me everything turned out alright

cause i'm where we said

that we'd meet tonight

does he treat you like you want?

does he ask to take your hand?

does he believe in dreams we talked about?when with no music we danced


4/10

i thought you said that you'd come find me

i thought you said you'd be home by now

i heard you sang that you'd come back here

so i wrote to remind you somehow

dance by yourself and

think of me when you do

i'm not sure you understand

what this means to me

what you do to me

i'm willing to prove

that you're the one

i regret to slip away

now i know it was only you

that i've been searching for

been missing all this time









let the past be past

let's start today

letters won't do

i need to see your face

tell me where to meet

i'll tell you why we should be

(i'll tell you why we should be)


i thought you said you'd be home by nowi heard you sang that you'd come back here

"A Day Late"

so let me get this straight

you say now you loved me all along

what made you hesitate

to tell me with words what you really feeli can see it in your eyes you mean all of what you say

i remember so long ago, see i felt that same way

now we both have separate lives and lovers (and lovers)

insignificantly enough we both have significant others

only time will tell

time will turn and tell

we are who we were when

could've been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend

we are whowe are who we were when

who knew what we know now

could've been more but at least you're still my day late friend

we are who


but thoughts they change and times they rearrange i don't know who you are anymore

loves come and go and this i know i'm not who you recall anymore

but i must confess you're so much more then i remember

can't help but entertain these thoughts

thoughts of us together



we are who


who knew what we know now


we are who


my day late friend

so let me get this straight

all these years and you were nowhere to be found

and now you want me for your own

but you're a day late and my love, she's still renowned



we are who

we are who we were whenwho knew what we know now


6/10


we are who

we are who we were when[x2]

"Time And Confusion"

woah oh, yeah-ah

woah oh, yeah-ah

woah oh

live for today

we'll dream tomorrow

we've got big plans in sight

we'll take this city and by nightfall...

the bright lights are calling

everything is going our way

everything is just as we've planned

this is our future (from what we've heard)

and i've still got your hand

and it feels like we could last forever

and i'm not doing this alone

[Chorus]

when memories fade

we've got each other

when time and confusion collide

singin' i hold it all when i hold you

when friends walk other ways


i hold it all when i hold

i hold it all when i hold you

woah oh, yeah-ah

woah oh, yeah-ahwoah oh

we fell on hard times

this isn't the ideal

we're miles from home

doing the best that we can (best that we can)

i won't do this without you

i won't do this without you

so take heart...

'cause you know that you have mine


7/10

and it feels like we could last forever

and i'm not doing to do this alone

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]its not about the money we make

its about the passions that we ache for

what makes your heart beat faster

tell me now what does your body long after

i don't care now where we live

it's not where, or what, or who we were with

i just need you in my life

so promise me again

when memories fadewe've got each other

when time and confusion collide

singin' i hold it all when i hold you

when friends walk other ways


i hold it all when i hold

i hold it all when i hold you

woah oh, yeah-ah

woah oh, yeah-ah

woah oh

"The Feel Good Drag"

"I'm here for you" she said

and we can stay for awhile,

my boyfriend's gone,

we can just pretend.

Lips that need no introduction

Now who's the greater sin,Your drab eyes seem to invite

(tell me darling) Where do we begin.

Was this over before

Before it ever began

Your kiss

Your calls

Your crutch

Like the devils got your hand

This was over before

Before it ever beganYour lips


8/10

Your lies

Your lust

Like the devils in your hands

Everyone in this town

is seeing somebody elseEverybody's tired of someone

our eyes wander for help

Prayers that need no answer now

I'm tired of who I am

You were my greatest mistake

I fell in love with your sin

Your littlest sin



Your kissYour calls

Your crutch




Your lips

Your lies

Your lust


Failure is your disease

You want my outline drawn

You are my greatest failure

Discourse your saving song



Your kiss

Your calls

Your crutch

Like the devils got your handThis was over before


Your lips

Your lies

Your lust




Your kiss

Your callsYour crutch


9/10




Your lips

Your lies

Your lustLike the devils in your hands

"Younglife"

Hey brother, do you remember when

We used to play outdoors

Til the light was absorbed by the night?

Hey brother, it was an innocent timeWe used to laugh til we cry

We're still boys on the inside

(I want to do it again)

The first time staying out all night

The last that we got away with lies

I can hear it in the back of my mind

Over and over again


Late nights and early lights

Never thought it would come to a goodbye

I replay it in the back of my mind

Over and over again


Lala la, lala la la la

Lala la la la


Hey lover, do you remember whenWe would dance in your apartment

Til neighbors would knock on your door?

And I remember, you remember when

We had no money to speak of

No where else to eat but your floor



The last time you look me in the eyes

I can see that in the back of my mind

Over and over again(I want to do it again)


10/10

Late nights, all entwined

Made a promise to never say goodbye

I replay in the back of my mind

Over and over again

All those days gone forever

Wonder if we're going to ever

See all our younglife friends that we made again

Have we all lost connection?

The life pulls in all direction

Memories bring us back to where we've been



The last time that we got away with liesWe can hear it in the back of our minds

Over and over again


Late nights and early lights

Never thought it would come to a goodbye

We replay it in the back of our minds

Over and over and over


Lala la la, lala la la la

Lala la la la



Lala la la la



Lala la la la



Lala la la la

(I want to hear you again)

Lala la la...
