Konstantine

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
Wake up lying in a patch of four leaf clover
And you're restless and I'm naked
You gotta 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 wanna 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
And I'm sleeping in your living room
But we don't have much room to live

And I had these dreams, in them I learned to play guitar
Maybe cross the country, become a rock star
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'd bring me home
'Cause we both know what it's like to be alone
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 confusion with a K and I can 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 this 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
And 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, 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 these 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'll go to sleep, but this time, not alone, no, no
And you'll kiss me in your living room
I know, 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
