Song lyrics

Send "Kill" ringtones to your cell

Well you're just across the street,
Looks a mile to my feet,
I wanna go to you.

Funny how I'm nervous still,
I've always been the easy kill
I guess I always will

Could it be that everything goes round by chance (chance)
Or only one way that it was always meant to be (be)
You kill me you always know the perfect thing to say,
hey hey, hey hey
I know what I should do but I just can't walk away

I can picture your face well
From the bar in my hotel
I wish I'd go to you

I pick up put down the phone
Like your favorite heat miser song goes:
It's just like being alone

Oh God
Please don't tell me this has been in vain (vain)
I need answers for what all the waiting I've done means (means)
You kill me you've got some nerve but can't face your mistakes,
hey hey, hey hey
I know what I should do but I just can't turn away

So go on love
Leave while there's still hope for escape
Gotta take what you can these days
There's so much ahead and so much regret

I know what you wanna say (I know what you wanna say)
I know it but can't help feeling differently
I loved you and I shoulda said it but tell me just what has it ever meant

I can't help it baby this is who I am (am)
I'm sorry but I can't just go turn off how I feel (feel)
You kill me you build me up but just to watch me break hey hey, hey hey
I know what I should do but I just can't walk away.

8 posts	this song is truly amazing i wish more people would hear it..im sure it wont get the credit it deserves such as other songs like "work" and "pain" will but this is above them all. just the point it makes--the lyrics make..never gets old and the whole band sounds great especially jim. i think a lot of people including me really apply to this song with someone else "[i]i loved you, and i shoulda said it..but tell me just what has it ever meant" that line is absolutly priceless yes it does belong in a movie hopefully not some crappy one like "hear you me" ended up in

6 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I love this song. I didn't use to. I thought it sounded kind of dull and boring. But, then I opened up to it and it's one of my favorite songs on the album, and one of my most listened to songs on my iPod this month. I love the whole album. It's incredible.

4 posts	i didn't even like this song when i first heard it...but i can't understand why...its so powerfull and the music with the lyrics is amazing...my favourite part of the song is.... "I loved you and I shoulda said it but tell me just what has it ever meant" It makes so much sence its scary...and i can relate...i think this song should have been their first single...but then again its too good to get overplayed and ruined... ...it deserves to be appreciated...and hopefully it is

98 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal This song is most likely one of the most passionate songs on the entire cd . And what a passionate cd at that. I'm so in love with the lyrics to this song. I think people sometimes confuse the meaning, though. It seems like people always associate the song with a "break up" or the girl that jimmy sings about "cheating"... However, what I get out of the song is when you love someone as much as they express in the song, and they don't love you back the same way, the things it does to you. And I think that the song is trying to express how it "kills" them knowing how they will never have that person. "I know what I should do but I just can't walk away"...I think that means that even though he knows he shouldn't love her, he can't help it and he can't stop. One of my favorite lines in the song is when he says: "So go on love, leave while there's still hope for escape..." There's so much meaning in it. But then again, thats pretty much said for the entire song. It just wowed me...and I LOVE THIS SONG!!! And I love the way you can relate to the song! I LOVE JIMMY EAT WORLD!

66 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal still listening to this song i love it so much "i love you, and i should've said it, but tell me what has it ever meant" like holy shat that's me right there /3 the guy that this reminds me of invited me to a JEW concert, which i would have gone to except my boyfriend got mad at me for saying i was going. because i liked the guy. but i ended up getting dumped by him anyways.. and i didnt go to the concert. so yeah, lost out on that. Jimmy Eat World, i love you .. these songs mean everything so much ahead, and so much regret.
