When your only friends are hotel rooms
Hands are distant lullabies
If I could turn around I would tonight
These roads never seemed so long
Since your paperheart start beating leaving me suddenly alone
Will daybreak ever come?
Who's gonna call on sunday morning?
Who's gonna drive you home?
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands
I thought you said forever
Over and over
A sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion
These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints of violins become my only friends
August evenings
Bring solemn warnings
To remember to kiss the ones you love goodnight
You never know what temporal days may bring
So laugh, love, live free and sing
When life is in dischord
Praise ye the lord
Who's gonna call on sunday morning?
Who's gonna drive you home?
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands
I thought you said forever
Over and over
The sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion
These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints of violins become my only friends
I thought you said forever
over and over
The sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion
These thoughts run through my head
over and over
Complaints of violins become my only friends
I thought you said forever
over and over
These thoughts run through my head

vocal It's called that because it sounds "emo". Having said that, I like the song, especially the poignant second verse. Kudos for them on having secular success with that one.

vocal I agree, Anberlin = great band, this whole album rocks. My friend recommened them to me, so I went out to pick up their cd, my aunt was with me and it was a few days before my b-day, and she ended up getting it for me.. free cd, always great.

vocal This song *is* awesome, but what do you think it means/is about? I think it's about someone giving up their life to follow God and thus their friends may abandon them for their newfound belief. I don't understand the very first part about hands and lullabies...

vocal don't ask me lol, i thought it was "hymns are distant lullabies" lol then you'd have the references to hymns and paper...
