Konstantine (Live)

Lyrics

[Spoken] It's called "Konstantine" [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] And you tell me that it's over But I can't stand here 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 [Verse 3] And you don't wanna be here in the future So you see 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 4] And I had dreams that I would learn to play guitar Maybe cross the country Become a rock star 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 It's just this guilt has got the best of me [Chorus 2] And then you'd bring me home 'Cause we both know what it's like to be alone, no And I'm dreaming in your living room But we don't have much room to live [Musical interlude] [Verse 5] And Konstantine is coming down the stairs Doesn't she look good Standing in her underwear And I been thinking What I was thinking, no But she's been drinking, and it doesn't get me anywhere [Verse 6] And Konstantine came walking down the stairs And all that I could do was touch her long, blonde hair And I was thinking What I was thinking, y'know But we'd been drinking and doesn't get me anywhere [Musical interlude] [Verse 7] This is because I can spell confusion with a K It's hard to 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 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 What you thought this song meant [Verse 8] If this is what it takes To lie with my mistakes And live with what I did to you All the things I put you through I always catch the clock It's 11:11 Now you want to talk It's not hard to dream You'll always be my Konstantine [Bridge] 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 [Verse 9] 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 these 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've missed you? And did you know I've missed you? Did you know I've missed you? Did you know I missed you? Did you know I miss you? And did you know I miss you? Did you know I miss you? God I miss you [Chorus 3] 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 And you see, oh That I've been missing in my living room 'Cause it's all you This is what I miss, what I miss We don't have much room I said does anybody need that room? Because we all need a little bit of room To live My Konstantine
