Song lyrics

Send "Drugs Or Me" ringtones to your cell

Stay with me 
You're the one I need 
You make the hardest things seem easy 

Keep my heart 
Somewhere drugs don't go 
Where the sun shines slow 
Always keep me close 

If only you could see 
The stranger next to me 
You promise, you promise that you're done 
But I can't tell you from the drugs 

Don't let go 
Dig a great big hole 
Down an endless hole, we'll both go 

You're so blind 
You can't see me this time 
Hope comes from inside 
And I feel so low tonight 

If only you could see 
The stranger next to me 
You promise, you promise that you're done 
But I can't tell you from the drugs
  
I wish that you could see 
This face in front of me 
You're sorry, you swear it, you're done 
But I can't tell you from the drugs 

Take me, I need your hand 
So far, to pull me up 
Take the will out from me, so far 

If only you could see 
The stranger next to me 
You promise, you promise that you're done 
But I can't tell you from the drugs  

I wish that you could see 
This face in front of me 
You're sorry, you swear it, you're done 
But I can't tell you from the drugs 

Keep my heart 
Somewhere drugs don't go 
Where the sun shines slow 
Always keep me close

33 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal My friend played this for me at a time when I could really relate to it. By the end I was bawling my eyes out, and I thought of the lyrics whenever I needed to remind myself why my ex and I weren't still together (drugs in case you hadn't figured it out). I still do that, actually, and it still really relates to me. It's helping me to let go more and more each day. This is just a beautiful piece of music.

6 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal "these lyrics are immaculate" I would hardly agree with that. Lyrics like "dig a great big hole" don't make me envious of their writing abilities. However, its a decent song. My sister can relate so it makes me sad for her.

4 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Probably my least favorite Jimmy Eat World song. It's an alright song, I just don't like it all too much.

98 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I agree that it's not one of the "best" songs on the album...but still, it's such a deep song with such a strong meaning. "If only you could see the stranger next to me..." Amazing line. Amazing song...Jimmy Eat World is just simply AMAZING!

291 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal i can relate to this song. this song, apart from being exquisite, can be used as a message. i plan to send it to my offender. hopefully then he will understand what he does to me and everyone who loves him, everytime he does it and lies. *GUYS YOU CANNOT DO DRUGS! EVEN WEED CAN DESTROY YOUR EVERYTHING!!* ciao
