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've got to 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 want to 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, no

And I'm sleeping in your living room

But we don't have much room

To live

I had these dreams, in them I learned to play guitar

Maybe cross the country

Become a rockstar

And there was hope in me

That I could take you there

But damn it you're so young

But 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 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

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
It hurts me thinking

That these nights when we were drinking

No they never got us anywhere, no

This is because I can spell konfusion 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

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 then you'll kiss me in your living room, oh

I know you miss me in your living room

Cause these nights I think maybe that I miss you in my living room

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."

its one of my favorite song ever. its Konstantine by Something Corporate. the first thing made me fall in love with this song is the piano playing which is really beautiful. and it was played by the vocalist himself. and the second one is that this song is the longest song ive ever heard so far. its 9:35 minutes length. even Jesus of Suburbia by Green Day is only 9:10 length, if im not mistaken. a friend of mine who gave me a listen to this song told me about the background story of it, which made me fall for the song more. i even googled it! okay, let me share..

the band's frontman, named Andrew McMahon, had a girlfriend named Krystal whom he cheated on. the relationship was when the girl was still in high school and he hadnt signed to any labels yet. but one day she got him f**king some other girl while he was drunk (check out the part "you've gotta get out, you cant stand to see me shaking") and then they broke up. he wished he was lucky enough that they could get back together anymore ("wake up lying in patch of four leaf clover"). he got signed to Drive-Thru records and wished that he could take her on the tour ("become a rockstar. and there was hope in me that i could take you there"), but he couldnt because she was still in high school ("but dammit, you're so young").
well, some people said that they got back together once, but for another breaking-up. and then Andrew was diagnosed of cancer, almost at the same time as the girl got married with another guy. that was why it put him in a great guilt that he wrote the song, because he thought if he never cheated on her then he might be the one who would be standing under the bell with her. it made him always regretting ("they'll never hurt you like i do").
the good thing about him is that he never tried to go any further in their relationship because he thought she was too young and he really loved her that he didnt want anything more (based on the part "doesnt she look good standing in her underwear? ... and all that i could do was touch her long blonde hair")
this song is like playing on words, actually. like Konfusion with a K, Konstant with a K (but it might be more bacause the girl named Krystal with K, its usually written with C anyway), that some people think constant is a thing he wishes their relationship was, because they broke up quite a few times.
and for the title Konstantine, some assumed that maybe its because of the girl who was a religious one (hence he never tried to go further with her), because Constantine is the name of a Roman king who was very religious.
about the 11:11 clock, its to show that he really hoped he could get back together with her because there's a belief that on 11:11 is when the angels come showing up to listen to your wishes and then make them come true.
well, people assumed this and that about the song, so i dont really know the real story behind it. but i think the infos ive got are more than enough to explain..
