Song lyrics
Two to one
Static to the sound of
You and I undone
For the last time
And there this was
Hiding at the bottom
Of your swimming pool
Some September
Don't you think
I wish that I could stay?
Your lips give you away

I can hear it
A jet engine
Through the center of the storm
And I'm thinking I'd
Prefer not to be rescued

Two to none
Roads that lead away from this
I'm following myself
Just this once
And I got spun
It appears you're spun as well
It happens when you pay attention
Or this could take all year

But when it's quiet
Does she hear me?
Jettisoned to the center of the storm
And I'm thinking I'd prefer not to be rescued
And Oh, I can feel her
She's dying just to keep me cold
And I'm finally numb
So please don't get me rescued
Rescued

And it's unclear
But this may be my last song

I, I can tell
She's raising hell
To give to me
She got me warm
So please don't get me rescued
And oh say you'll miss me
One last time
And I'll be strong
Whatever you do
Please don't get me rescued

'Cause I'm feeling like
I might need to be near you
And I feel alright
So please don't get me rescued

this is such an amazing song.. it's definitely one of my favorites. 3333
& i like at the end, you hear:
Andrew: "Sorry.. I'm documenting really quickly.."
Some Guy: "I pulled.. I pulled the plug out cause I didn't wanna look for a light switch." -- Bright boys you got working for you, Andrew.

This song, for me at least, is definetely in the running for my favorite song of all times. Right back there with " What Sarah Said ".



There's something sweet, though fatalistic, about this song. Especially when reason that this song is about wanting to die in a plane crash to be close to someone that's been lost. It's very disturbing to think that it's a rather sweet sentiment.

This is probably my favorite song on the album. It's my #1 in my iTunes top 25 most played.

It's so beautiful.

Andrew is such an amazing songwriter; I'm glad this wasn't his last song!

I was sad that he didn't play it at the O.A.R. concert, but the rest of the concert was fantastic, so it made up for it.

I have so many, but I think it's safe to say that this song is one of my Absolute Favorites from Andrew.

I can't tell you how many times I have listened to it (and it's a lot because in order to learn it, i had to listen to and play it quite often...) but it has yet to become "old," as well as all the other SoCo and JM songs.

The piano is perfect and some of the chords just... absorb me, if that makes sense. You appreciate the piano parts in these songs a lot more if you actually play. I don't think this song could any better.

The emotion in the lyrics is amazing. The lyrics are amazing. Everything about it... is amazing.

But I guess that's expected... coming from an amazing Andrew.
