![]() Knives Don't Have Your Back (2006) [ larger cover art ] |
Cursed with a love that you can't express,
It's not for a fuck or a kiss.
Rather give the world away than wake up lonely.
Everywhere and every way I see you with me.
Crowd surf off a cliff, land out on the ice
Crowd surf off to sea, float toward the beach
If you find me, hide me, I don't know where I've been
If you find me, hide me, I don't know where I've been
Are we breathing, are we breathing, are we wasting our breath?
It won't be enough to be rich.
All the babies tucked away in their beds, we're out here screaming,
"The life that you thought through is gone."
Can't wind down, the ending outlasting the mood.
I wake up lonely.
Crowd surf off a cliff, land out on the ice
Crowd surf off to sea, float toward the beach
If you find me, hide me, I don't know where I've been.
When you phone me tell me everything I did.
If I'm sorry you lost me you'd better make it quick,
'Cause this call costs a fortune and it's late where you live,
It's late where you live.
Rather give the world away than wake up lonely.
Everywhere and every way I see you with me.
All the babies tucked away in their beds, we're out here screaming,
"The life that you thought through is gone."
Can't wind down, the ending outlasting the mood.
I wake up lonely
I wake up lonely

| justlistening (So. California) | Posted: Feb 02, 2009 - 23:39 Not very deep. Not very interesting. Not offensive either. Wouldn't download it if it were a free MP3. |

| govna (beantown) | Posted: Jan 08, 2009 - 13:04 i'm pretty sure she starts off 90% of her songs with that same riff. |
| wenatchee (Duvall, WA) | Posted: Jan 05, 2009 - 12:17 It really plods along without much variance and so yah, the lyrics get some focus . . . |
| (former member) (Ketchup is for winners) | Posted: Dec 01, 2008 - 17:39 It's dark, her lyrics flow through it like water. I love it! |

| bindi (North Carolina) | Posted: Dec 01, 2008 - 17:35 her voice reminds me of Jenny Lewis |
| sdn (Philadelphia) | Posted: Nov 06, 2008 - 09:55 This song is ho-hum. But I feel bad giving it a 3, because her voice is pretty and the music isn't horrid, just dull. So I gave it a 4. ![]() |
| zakfoy (SLC) | Posted: Nov 06, 2008 - 09:53 does emily haines have any relation to metric? i hear the same voice... |
| lalalisa25 (Boonton, NJ) | Posted: Nov 06, 2008 - 09:51 Love the melody and piano in this song. It's unique... which is nice. |
| anniebear (chapel hill, nc) | Posted: Nov 03, 2008 - 09:39 What a sh!tty frackin song |

** 6 / 7** |
| splooge (Indiana) | Posted: Oct 02, 2008 - 19:35 Ok, that's the second song on this CD I like. I think it's time to buy the CD. |
| Shesdifferent (Just visiting this planet this is not my home) | Posted: Sep 29, 2008 - 16:33 A 50/50 on this first listen. I could see where I could be in this space...but right now I am not in it. |
| pherthyl (Victoria, BC) | Posted: Jul 31, 2008 - 14:42 This isn't her strongest song by far, but I love her voice so much I barely care. |
| chudd (Birkenland) | Posted: Jul 03, 2008 - 00:59 Not my cuppa tea. A bit slow and uninteresting. Apart from the "Did she just say Fog?" in the second line of course... |

| aquadonia (Green Bay, WI) | Posted: May 31, 2008 - 21:46 I just checked my upload statuses and saw this one was added straight away. I hope I get to hear it next time it's played. It's easily my favorite off this album. |
| maug | Posted: May 26, 2008 - 13:31 boring he says.. and probably he is :-) |
| Sternenteufel (Germany) | Posted: May 26, 2008 - 11:44 Listen to all the fantastic songs at Radio Paradise is really cool ;0) |
