- This is the original live version of Konstantine from Something Corporate's first album Ready...Break. The way he says "god I miss you" at 8:15 is perfect. Purposely made it 11:11 long.
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 and my big dreams
And you tell me
That it's over
But I can't stand here in a patch of four leaf clover
And your restless
And I'm naked
You've got to get out
You can't stand to see me shaking
no, cuz you let me go
and you don't want to be here in the future
So you say
**the presents just a pleasant
Interruption to the past**
And you don't want to look much closer
'Cause you're afraid to find out all the hope
That 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
I had 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
Dammit you're so young
But I don't think I care
and if I hurt you then i'm sorry
its just this guilt has got the best of me
And then you bring me home
'Cause we both know what its like to be alone, no
And I'm dreaming in your living room
But we don't have much room
To live
Konstantine is coming down the stairs
Doesn't she look good
Standing in her underwear?
And I've been thinking
What I've been thinking, you know
But she's been drinking
And it doesn't get me anywhere.
Konstantine came walking down the stairs
And all that I could do
Was touch her long blond hair
And I was thinking
What I was thinking
But we've been drinking
And it doesn't get me anywhere.
This is because I can spell konfusion with a K
It's hard to like it
It's to dying in anothers arms
and why i had to try it
It's to jimmy eat world
and those nights in my car
but this time I'm alone
and I don't see those stars
I'm not your star
Isn't that what you said
what you thought this song meant
you thought this song meant
If this is what it takes
to lie in my mistakes
and live with what I did to you
and all the things i've 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
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 these pretty things she did
Hey Baby, You know that you keep me up in bed
It's 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
Spin Around me like a Dream
We played out on this movie screen
And i said, did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
God 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, oh
And you see no,
what I've been missing in my living room
Cause it's all you
yeah this is what i've missed
what i've missed
We don't have much room
I said, Does anybody really need that room
'cause we all need a little but of room
To Live
My Konstantine
I heard this song for the first time in 2006 when i was blackout drunk at a frat party at Tri-State University in Angola Indiana. Played it on repeat all night in my friends dorm room while everybody was asleep. Must have listened to this 10 minute song at least 60 times. It's an absolute masterpiece. Every time I hear it, it takes me back to that magical night. Nobody tells you you're living in the good ole days when you're living in the good ole days. Take me back. Please. Just one night. I'll die a happy man.
This is the best and only version for me. Been listening to this one since my teenage years. Oh God the memories!
literally searched for this version thinking the same thing.... still remember downloading on kazaa
Same
Same.
The way he says "god, I miss you" gets me every time....
Every time
I specifically came lookin for this version because of that line.
@@michealgarcea8859 SAME !!!!
My girlfriend 20+ years ago put this song on a CD for me. First listened to it on a long drive in central California. I had to pull over and cry. Makes me think of her every time I re-hear it. Somehow that all fits with the song.
This version is so raw I don't think I can ever listen to another version again. And I've been listening to this song for years beyond I can remember.
Ruins every other version I was halfway thru the recorded one when I had to search for this
This was the first version I ever heard. The produced one can't touch it for me.
100% agree
the limewire version on my MP3 player I fell in love with
Yes, exactly! ❤
"They'll never hurt you like I do" is the most raw and visceral lyric in any love/lost song I've ever heard.
William Casey why? What exactly is so strong? What’s your impression about this quote?
I knew this was the one when I heard the “Yeah Andrew!”
thank you, this is the version I fell in love with over ten years ago
+iblackmagiki fucking, same.
Thank you for sharing this version. It's what made me fall in love with Something Corporate all those years ago. I'm suddenly 19 again, going to shows and having the time of my life. Thank you.
I finally found it
I agree with everyone, this is so far the best version ever
Been searching this version for too long... thank you very much!
me too!!! just finally found it, soo happy!!
What is it with this version? its just so perfect, yet so hard to find. Thank the music gods for this lovely soul that posted it.
Late response but this version is when he did it live at the Coachhouse in 99 (maybe 2000). It was the original version of what Andrew was adlib/freestyling. What he says here is what he was trying to say to multiple girls all at once.
Thank you, this version is my lifeline.
saaame
I love that comment about the "God I miss you". That is exactly right. Its what makes this version way better.
Hello my Limewire friends. This is the version we grew up with.
This was the first version I heard. A guy sent it to me and I listened to it on repeat
This is hands down the best version. I feel like when he says "its hard to like it" at 5:50 just feels correct. Thank you!
This is my favorite version followed by the version where he infuses weezers, “only in dreams” lyrics into Konstantine.
“You can’t avoid her, she’s in the air… in between molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide… only in dreams you’ll see what it means. Reach out your hand and hold onto hers.”
Yeeeeeees thank you for dis 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I was serching this song cause I had an original version of this going to college at UCI and kept hearing a different version on UA-cam and couldnt figure it out. So even if this is years old posted thanks.
Wow, this version is amazing! Now I can't stop playing it 💗
It’s been forever since I heard the original version. I forgot how beautiful it was!
Ends it on 11:11... Nice touch
this song speaks volumes to me, have been searching for this version ever since I heard it on an CD made by my sister years ago
Lindsey Martins it's really something special. All-time favorite song
It's mine as well
2022 and I'm still soooo in love with this version.
So beautiful
I'm so happy I could find this somewhere wow
Love how it’s 11:11
YES THANK YOU!!! This is hands down the best version, omg the feels right now ;)
4:22 “Yeah andrew!”
Oh my this is making me emotional 😭
Thank you!!!
You're seriously the best. Made my birthday right here
I chopped off that long blonde hair, you’re on drugs now you never found the home you were looking for. Alll things you put me through They don’t hurt me like you did no they don’t. Peace is nice. Get sober
Thank you💗
Thank you very much for sharing.
Agree with all that this is vastly the best version. By far the most authentic.
Question. Does anyone know where this was done live?
I just read below that one of the coMmenters thought it was performed at the “coachouse” in 1999 or 2000. Not sure where that is. But thank you my friend for sharing. :)
Best version! Hands down! Where was it recorded? It's funny how I know every note and nothing about where it or when it was recorded
was this the first time he played this song with her in the crowd?
I don't think, just first recording
+Paul Gemperlein yeah you can definitely tell its a first so many errors on keys at parts aha
Paul Gemperlein I agree! I think so as well!
@@oshambLes They weren't errors. The lyrics were changed for the next recording.
This was the coachouse recording so first time live. Konstantine is multiple girls in Andrew's life to that point so was one of them there... yeah.
this dude can't see sorry but everything is off key.
It's old af. Listen to the DVD live version.
