SONG LYRICS
Rough Draft

Like a saturday night i'll be gone
like a saturday night i'll be gone
before you knew that i was there

So you wrote it down
I'm supposed to care
Even though it's never there
Sorry if I'm not prepared
Is it hard to see the things you substitute
For me and all my thoughts of you
It's eating me alive to leave you

Maybe it's childish and maybe it's wrong
But so is your blank stare in lieu of this song
Maybe it's childish and maybe it's wrong

Don't wanna be, don't wanna be wrong
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song

I'm breathing in your skin tonight
Quiet is my loudest cry
Wouldn't wanna wake the eyes, that make me melt inside
And if it's healthier to leave you be,
May a sickness come and set me free
Kill me while I still believe that you were meant for me...

I’m finding my own words, my own little stage
My own epic drama, my own scripted page
I'll send you the rough draft, I'll seal it with tears
Maybe you'll read it and I'll reappear
From the start it was shaky and the characters rash,
A nice setting for heart ache where emotions come last
All I have deep inside, to overcome this desire
Of friendly intentions and fair-weather smiles

And I don’t wanna be, don’t wanna be wrong
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song
Don't wanna be, don’t wanna be wrong
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this.. In lieu of this song.

like a saturday night i'll be gone
like a saturday night i'll be gone
like a saturday night i'll be gone
like a saturday night i'll be gone
before you knew that i was there

MY REVIEW:

Best line: Kill me while I still believe that you were meant for me.

What I think the lyrics are about: I think it's about finding out that your love is not working anymore and that it's hard to leave or be left alone if you're still in love with that person.

What this song reminds me of: Luckily I haven't experienced something like this before =)

My bottom-line review: I love this song, it's one of my favorite songs on 'One For The Kids'. The song's pretty simple, but that doesn't mean it's lame or anything. To me it's pretty fragile and really beautiful.

My rating: 10/10

MY REVIEW: Best track on the album! Lyrics capture you and makes you wonder why you never thought of those words.

Best line: "Kill me while I still believe that you were meant for me"

What I think the lyrics are about: Losing your love. And struggling dealing with it, while you still love them and your fighting to get them back but they won't budge.

What this song reminds me of: When my gf broke up with me. So heartbroken, i listened to this and made me feel like i wasn't the only one going through this.

My bottom-line review:Perfect song that defines a person who is distraught over losing their love. Many people can relate to this and realize their are people out their going through the samething.
