  • Lovely band, lovely song, lovely album
    Album: "A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar" - 2003
    Lyrics:
    I catalog these steps now
    Decisive and intentioned
    precise and patterned specifically to yours.
    I'm talented at breathing
    Especially exhaling
    So that my chest will rise and fall with yours
    I'm careful not to wake you
    Fearing conversation
    It's better just to hold you
    And keep you pacified
    I'm talented with reason
    I cover all the angles
    I can fail before I ever try
    Try to understand there's an old mistake that fools will make
    And I'm the king of them, pushing everything that's good away
    Wont you hold me now (I will not bend I will not break)
    Wont you hold me now (I will not bend I will not break)
    I am fairly agile
    I can bend and not break
    Or I can break and take it with a smile
    And I am so resilient
    I recover quickly
    I'll convince you soon that I am fine
    Try to understand there's and old mistake that fools will make
    And I'm the king of them, pushing everything that's good away
    Wont you hold me now (I will not bend I will not break)
    Wont you hold me now (For you I rise, for you I fall)
    Just hold me close to you, just hold me close to you
    Just hold me close to you, just hold me close to you, to you
    And try to understand there's and old mistake that fools will make
    And I'm the king of them, pushing everything that's good away
    So wont you hold me now?
    Wont you hold me now?
    Now, now, now, now, now

    I love Dashboard Confessional and they are a good alternative rock band. I've been a fan for a long time and "Stolen" is another great song as well.

    I bought this cd when it came out and the one before I preffered the album before didn't go much on this cd but I loved this song I always found it disappointing he could write such beauty he obviously knew what beautiful music sounded like but could also write such average stuff but whatever this song is beautiful

    I swear this song is about someone and their fear and excitement of being a parent. Seems like they are talking about their baby.
    "To let my chest rise and fall with yours." I think of a father with a sleeping baby on their chest.
    "For you I rise; for you I fall." I think of a parent's will to work and protect their child.
    Im probably wrong but that's what i feel.
