Never
Sick and Sad Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bittersweet
Tossing and turning like it was yesterday
A memory
I remember now like it never faded
Makes me feel like you're living
Feels like you're living inside of me
All is done and forgiven
I grew up but you didn't now listen, to me
This love has turned to grey
You're the darkest shade of black
I wouldn't want anyone other but
I'm still chasing the brightest red
And I didn't need you before
And I don't need you now
But when it's all coming down
I'm far from never
Caught up in a dream
And like nothing else mattered
We just stayed in place
And I believed you
'Cause such a dangerous plan can be such a sweet escape
But our clock kept ticking like a bomb
But I'd buried my senses, helpless
It blew off, took me with it
You got out only as a witness
And I say
This love has turned to grey
You're the darkest shade of black
I wouldn't want anyone other but
I'm still chasing the brightest red
And I didn't need you before
And I don't need you now
But when it's all coming down
I'm far from never
I didn't need you before
And I don't need you now
But now it's all coming down
This love has turned to grey
You're the darkest shade of black
I wouldn't want anyone other but
I'm still chasing the brightest red
And I don't need you before
And I don't need you now




But when it's all coming down
I'm far from never

Sick and sad again
Sometimes I'd like the rain to end
Sick and sad again
Sometimes
Yeah, I'd like
Oh, to stand
On my own two feet

Went to the corner of a second and main
But there was somebody that mentioned
That they hoped it would rain forever
Forever
So they can drown
In peace

I went down to the Hodskin Pl
But there was nobody to answer
When I rang that doorbell forever
Forever
So now I'm sad
All the time

Sick and sad again
Sometimes I'd like the rain to end
Sick and sad again
Sometimes
Yeah, I'd like
Oh, to stand
On my own two feet

Today wasn't day
But she threw it all away
And I could never understand
'Cause she was never one to play by the rules
Of the game
Her and me
We're so the same

I try so hard and I never give in
And I never go at this
Pack it up, pack it in
So there
But I don't care
I can fade away anywhere
Don't stop
'Cause you might get dropped
And we sing

Sick and sad again
Sometimes I'd like the rain to end
Sick and sad again
Sometimes
Yeah, I'd like
Oh, to stand
On my own two feet

Sick and sad again
Sometimes I'd like the rain to end
Sick and sad again
Sometimes
Yeah, I'd like
Oh, to stand
On my own two feet

Sometimes I would like
To stand
On my own two feet

I think what makes Toh Kay so great is the fact that it's so simple, yet beautiful. All the extra instruments would ruin the simple beauty - no doubt it would create something that was probably equally awesome, but he should have a different name for that music - Toh Kay One Man Band? But sure, what the heck, I'm with you guys! More Toh Kay nomatter what he does! And more SLMF too!

It is amazing how him singing it like this instead of with the band and horns completely changes the meaning of the song for me.

The little segway into Keasbey Nights at 1:40 was so unexpected and awesome

mikidelux

@eatplastic i would love to see Toh Kay learn to play sorta like Vic Ruggiero does, he plays a hi-hat, bass drum, harmonica, guitar, and sings, at the same time.

I don't care; I can fade away to anywhere.
