Konstantine (Live)

[Spoken]
It's called "Konstantine"

[Verse 1]
I can't imagine all the people that you know
And the places that you go
When the lights are turned down low
And I don't understand all the things you've seen
But I'm slipping in between
You and your big . . . dreams
It's always you
In my big dreams

[Verse 2]
And you tell me that it's over
But I can't stand here in a patch of four-leaf clover
And you're restless, and I'm naked
You gotta get out
You can't stand to see me shaking
No
Could you let me go?
I didn't think so

[Verse 3]
And you don't wanna be here in the future
So you see the present's just a pleasant interruption to the past
And you don't wanna look much closer
'Cause you're afraid to find out all this hope
You had sent into the sky by now had . . . crashed
And it did
Because of me

[Chorus 1]
And then you bring me home
Afraid to find out that you're alone, no
And I'm sleeping in your living room
But we don't have much room to live

[Verse 4]
And I had dreams that I would learn to play guitar
Maybe cross the country
Become a rock star
And there was hope in me that I could take you there
Dammit, you're so young
But I don't think I care
And if I hurt you
Then I'm sorry
It's just this guilt has got the best of me

[Chorus 2]
And then you'd bring me home
'Cause we both know what it's like to be alone, no
And I'm dreaming in your living room
But we don't have much room to live

[Musical interlude]

[Verse 5]
And Konstantine is coming down the stairs
Doesn't she look good
Standing in her underwear
And I been thinking
What I was thinking, no
But she's been drinking, and it doesn't get me anywhere

[Verse 6]
And Konstantine came walking down the stairs
And all that I could do was touch her long, blonde hair
And I was thinking
What I was thinking, y'know
But we'd been drinking and doesn't get me anywhere

[Musical interlude]

[Verse 7]
This is because I can spell confusion with a K
It's hard to like it
It's to dying in another's arms
And why I had to try it
It's to Jimmy Eat World and those nights in my car
But this time I'm alone
And I don't see those stars
I'm not your star
Isn't that what you said
What you thought this song meant
What you thought this song meant

[Verse 8]
If this is what it takes
To lie with my mistakes
And live with what I did to you
All the things I put you through
I always catch the clock
It's 11:11
Now you want to talk
It's not hard to dream
You'll always be my Konstantine

[Bridge]
They'll never hurt you like I do
No, they'll never hurt you like I do
No, no, no no no no no no

[Verse 9]
This is to a girl who got into my head
With all these pretty things she did
Hey
Baby
You know that you keep me up in bed
It's to a girl who got into my head
With all these fucked up things I did
Hey
Maybe
Baby
You could keep me up in bed
My Konstantine
Spin around me like a dream
We played out on this movie screen
And I said
Did you know I've missed you?
And did you know I've missed you?
Did you know I've missed you?
Did you know I missed you?
Did you know I miss you?
And did you know I miss you?
Did you know I miss you?
God I miss you

[Chorus 3]
And then you bring me home
And we'll go to sleep, but this time, not alone, no no
And you'll kiss me in your living room
And you see, oh
That I've been missing in my living room
'Cause it's all you
This is what I miss, what I miss

We don't have much room
I said does anybody need that room?
Because we all need a little bit of room
To live

My Konstantine
