Blasé
Anberlin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are there no shadows where you are?
I can see everything as day
Problems that you try to hide away
Pushing me aside
(You're pushing me aside)

Could the winter calm come twice?
Because your heart seems so cold tonight
Thirst for substance, somehow isn't right
It's killing me inside
(It's killing you inside)
Killing me inside

I don't wanna be where you are
I don't wanna be here even now
I don't wanna be by your side
If somethin' isn't right
If somethin' isn't right

This is our last goodnight
Say what you will
Say all that you can
Words have no meaning
When I've seen where you've been

This is our last goodnight
Say what you will
Say all that you can
This is our last goodbye
This is where love ends

Are you so naive to right and wrong?
How could you watch innocence forgone?
Does what we've done ever really belong?
It wasted me away
(I feel so wasted away)

God if you can hear me out alright
Please take these feelings for her inside
My chest hurts when I breathe tonight
It's wasting me away
(You're wasting me away)
You're wasting me away

I don't wanna be where you are
I don't wanna be here even now
I don't wanna be by your side
If somethin' isn't right
If somethin' isn't right

This is our last
(This is our last)
This is our last goodnight
Say what you will
Say all that you can
Words have no meaning
When I've seen where you've been

This our last goodnight
Say what you will
Say all that you can
This is our goodbye
This is where love ends
(This is our last)

This is our last goodnight
Say what you will
Say all that you can
Words have no meaning
When I've seen where you've been
(This is our last)

This is our last goodnight
Say what you will
Say all that you can




This is our last goodbye
This is where love ends

Not to overlook great underrated albums of theirs that had some great tunes such as dark is the way light is a place or vital but NTFP is the best anberlin album ever. NEVER gets old.

Madison Stevic

I’m still so In love with this song, I used to put their CD in my player and try to juggle riding my bike to school and carry this at the same time when I was 12. Good memories...

PandaCat

I had to revisit this song right now after I just said goodbye to my home, one of my best friends, and a beautiful era of my life. I'm tearing up as I hear it after all these years. Long live Anberlin. 😢

Christopher Pessetto

Miranda Pressnell sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Anberlin disbanded in 2014.

PandaCat

Christopher Pessetto lol I know that. It doesn’t mean you can’t continue to enjoy their music. I came back to listen to this song when I was feeling nostalgic

Matthew Carter

@Christopher Pessetto They're playing in Atlanta on July 14.

Daniel Colageo
