Song lyrics
He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth, bite to eat, and he's rollin
Never changes a thing
The week ends, the week begins

She thinks, we look at each other
Wonderin' what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
As these crimes between us grow deeper

Take these chances 
Place them in a box until a quieter time 
Lights down, you up and die 

Goes to visit his mommy
She feeds him well his concerns he forgets them
And remembers being small
Playing under the table and dreaming

Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die

Driving in on this highway
All these cars and upon the sidewalk
People in every direction
No words exchanged, no time to exchange

Ohhh...

And all the little ants are marching
Red and black antennae waving
They all do it the same
They all do it the same...way

Candyman tempting the thoughts of a
Sweet tooth tourtured by the weight loss
Program cutting the corners
Loose end, loose end cut cut
On the fence, but not to offend
Cut cut, cut cut

Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die

(Guitar Interlude)

Lights down you up and die

the song isnt upbeat yet is lyrical and musically great its about how we dont talk to the opposite sex out of shyness and we should just all be open there is no upbeatness at all

As with the previous posters, I love this song--it's incredible in so many ways.

I was wondering though, does anyone know or have any ideas on what the song is about?

I have my own ideas, but I'm curious as to what others think. Peace.

lovelovelove this song..always have, always will
it gets me so pumpedddd
i think its about a guy and like he's totally normal and too afraid to tell a girl how he feels and he just goes on with his life and yeahh..
the part that confuses me is like whats with:
"Candyman tempting the thoughts of a
Sweet tooth tourtured by the weight loss
Program cutting the corners
Loose end, loose end cut cut
On the fence, but not to offend
Cut cut, cut cut"
i get what it means, but how does it have to do with the rest of the song?
any ideas?
