Lyrics

[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 that you've seen
But I'm slipping in between
You and your big dreams
It's always you and my big dreams
[Verse 2]
And you tell me that it's over
I wake up lying in a patch of four leaf clover
And you're restless and I'm naked
You got to 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 say 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
[Verse 4]
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 5]
And I had these dreams and in them I'd learn to play guitar
Maybe cross the country, become a rock star
And there was hope in me that I could take you there
But dammit you're so young but I don't think I care
And if I hurt you then I'm sorry
Please don't think that this was easy
[Verse 6]
And then you'd bring me home
'Cause we both know what it's like to be alone
And I'm dreaming in your living room
But we don't have much room to live
[Verse 7]
Konstantine is walking down the stairs
Doesn't she look good standing in her underwear
And I was thinking what I was thinking
But we've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere
[Verse 8]
My Konstantine came walking down the stairs
And all that I could do was touch her long blond hair
And I've been thinking, it hurts me thinking that
These nights when we were drinking
Though they never got us anywhere
No
[Verse 9]
This is because I can spell confusion with a K and I can 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
When the first star you see may not be a star
I'm not your star
Isn't that what you said? What you thought the song meant
[Verse 10]
And if this is what it takes just to lie with my mistakes
And live with what I did to you, all the hell I put you through
I always catch the clock, it's 11:11
Now you wanna talk, it's not hard to dream
You'll always be my Konstantine
My Konstantine
[Verse 11]
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 12]
This is to a girl who got into my head
With all the pretty things she did
Hey, you know you keep me up in bed
This is 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
[Verse 13]
Spin around me like a dream
We played out on this movie screen
And I said
Did you know I miss you?
Did you know I miss you?
Did you know I miss you?
Did you know I miss you?
Did you know I miss you?
Did you know I miss you?
Did you know I miss you?
I miss you
[Verse 14]
And then you bring me home
And we go to sleep, but this time not alone, no no
And you'll kiss me in your living room, I know
I know you miss me in your living room
'Cause these nights I think maybe that I miss you in my living room
We don't have much room
I said does anybody need that room
Because we all need a little more room
To live
[Verse 15]
My Konstantine
