what they were thinking... Options

[Smarmosaur]

is there a song out there that every time you hear it you just think "damn, i'd pay my entire life savings to know what they were thinking when they wrote this"?
post the artist, title, and the lyrics. :]

mine is The Last Song Ever by Secondhand Serenade.

i wish my life was this song
'cause the songs they never die
i could write for years and years
and never have to cry
i'd show you how i feel
without saying a word
i could wrap up both our hearts
i know it sounds absurd

and i saw the tears on your face
i shot you down
and i slammed the door
but i couldn't make a sound
so please stay sweet my dear
don't hate me now
i can't tell how this last song ends

the way that i feel tonight
so down, so down
i pray i can swim
just so i won't drown
and the waves that crash over me
i am gasping for air
take my hand
so i can breathe, as i...
write this last song down

and i saw the tears on your face
i shot you down
and i slammed the door
but couldn't make a sound
so please stay sweet my dear
don't hate me now
i can't tell how this last song ends

the broken glass
your moistened skin
was everything, was everything

and your broken voice was quivering
you're everything, you're everything
scream at me
make it the best i ever heard
laugh out loud
i know it sounds absurd

scream at me
make it the best i ever heard
you're everything, you're everything

heartbeats, slowing pains are growing
does she love you
that's worth knowing

heartbeats, slowing pains are growing
does she love you
that's worth knowing

"Konstantine" by Something Corporate I can kind of assume what it's about, but it's just so beautifully written.

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

And you tell me
That it's over
Wake up lying in a patch of four leaf clover
And you're restless
And I'm naked
You've got to get out
You can't stand to see me shaking
no, could you let me go
I didn't think so

and you don't want to be here in the future
So you say
the present's just a pleasant
Interruption to the past
And you don't want to 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

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

This is because I can spell konfusion with a K
And I can like it
It's to dying in anothers 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 this song meant

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
And now you want to talk
it's not hard to dream
You'll always be my Konstantine
My Konstantine


And it goes on like that.
