Anberlin Lyrics

One last glance from a taxicab
Looking back as I leave, I am already filled with memories that will continue to haunt me.

Images scar my mind
The things we experienced together have left a lasting mark in my thoughts and emotions.

Four weeks felt like years
The moments we spent together felt so deep and meaningful, that it seemed like an eternity had passed.

Since your full attention was all mine
Having your undivided attention gave me a sense of fulfillment that I cannot find elsewhere.

The night was young and so were we
We were both filled with youthful energy and a zest for life that brought us together.

Talked about life, God, death and your family
We shared deep and personal conversations that touched on the most profound aspects of our lives.

Didn't want any promises
We had no need for empty words or false commitments that would only disappoint us in the end.

Just my undivided honesty
All I wanted was to speak with sincerity and openness, laying bare my true self for you to see.

And you say, oh, whoa Things are gonna change now, for the better And oh, whoa, things are gonna change Oh, they're gonna change
You offered a promise of a brighter tomorrow, with the hope of something better to come.

I am the Patron Saint of Lost Causes
I represent all those who feel lost and alone in this world, struggling to find their way back.

A fraction of who I once believed
My sense of identity has been shattered, leaving only fragments of who I once was.

Change, only a matter of time
Despite the chaos and confusion, change is inevitable and will eventually come.

Opinions, I will try and rewrite
In the face of uncertainty, I will attempt to reshape my beliefs and perspectives, searching for new meaning and direction.

If life had background music Playing your song
If life were a movie, your presence would always be felt, with your song providing a constant soundtrack to my experiences.

I've got to be honest, I tried to escape you But the orchestra plays on
Despite my attempts to forget you, the memories and feelings associated with you continue to persist and affect my life.

Hands, like secrets Are the hardest thing to keep from you
My true feelings are hidden within me, unable to be expressed outwardly, as if they are a secret only you can uncover.

Lines and phrases, like knives Your words can cut me through
Your words have the power to hurt me deeply, like a sharp instrument cutting through my emotional defenses.

Dismantle me down Repair You dismantled me You dismantled me
You have taken me apart, breaking down my spirit and sense of self, but also have the power to rebuild me and make me whole once again.

Give me time to prove Prove I want the rest of yours Prelude Call this a prelude to a lifetime of you
Allow me the chance to show you how devoted I am to you, and let this moment be the beginning of a lifetime of shared experiences and growth together.

It's not that I hang on every word I hang myself on what you repeat
I am not merely captivated by your words, but am willing to sacrifice my own identity for the sake of our connection and shared experiences.

I'm never letting go (letting go)
Despite the challenges and obstacles we may face, I am committed to staying by your side and never giving up on our relationship.

Save me from myself (ooh, ooh) Help me, save me from myself (ooh, ooh)
I recognize my own flaws and shortcomings, and need your help to overcome them and become a better person.

Hands, like secrets Are the hardest thing to keep from you Lines and phrases, like knives Your words can cut me through Dismantle me down Repair You dismantled me You dismantled me
My emotions and sense of self are inextricably tied to our relationship, and you have the power to both hurt and heal me.
