Okay, so here's the thing sweetheart, I've decided that the killers album I want to show you is battleborn. I don't know it quite as well so any songs you grow attached to I would as well, it's a lot calmer than their other work and three of the songs on the album remind me of you. Figured I'd write up some line by lines and include a link if you want to listen to the song.
Here with me: sam's version
"Wheels are turning; I remember when you were mine."
Bus wheels, coach wheels and train wheels, all turning so I can get to you
"Now just to reach you, baby I'd stand in line."
Waiting to buy tickets, waiting for the train to arrive, it's all worth it if I get to see you at the end
"But there's another world you're living in tonight."
I like to see it as a whole other universe when we're together
"And there's another heart that's fading in the light."
Your heart, I can hear it now and I know it beats for me as mine does for you, we're together and that's how it should be
"Don't want your picture on my cell phone.
I want you here with me.
Don't want your memory in my head, no.
I want you here with me."
I think this is all straight forwards...
"Spent the summer just laying out in the sun."
Doing nothing, being no one
"Time seems to move so slow,
When you're taking it as it comes."
Before I met you it did all drag out, depression does that
"Maybe we were just too young."
I think it's good we met when we did, any earlier and it might not have worked out
"Your body was tan and your hair was long."
That lovely lovely hair
"You shot me a smile and my cares were gone."
One of my favourite lines in any song, and so true when it comes to you
"When falling in love filled my soul with fright."
It did
"You said, Come on baby, it'll be all right."
You comforted me, even then
"I must've been a fool to the bitter end."
How I feel whenever I leave
"Now I hold on to hope to have you back again."
Again straight forwards
"I'd bargain and I'd fight."
I really would
"But there's another world you're living in tonight."
Repetition
"Don't want your picture on my cell phone.
I want you here with me.
Don't want your memory in my head, no.
I want you here with me."
Repetition
"Well, I saw you in a restaurant, the other day,
And instead of walking towards you, I ran away.
(Ran away)"
I see you sometimes, like on the street. Then I'll realise she's not as pretty or her smile isn't making me smile and I sort of have to walk away
"And Ill keep on waiting for you
For you to come around, come around and say:"
I've always hoped you felt the same about this
"I don't want your picture on my cell phone.
I want you here with me.
Don't need those memories in my head, no.
I want you here with me."
