[Spoken]

It's called "Konstantine"

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

And you tell me that it's over

But I can't stand here in a patch of four-leaf clover

And you're restless, and I'm naked

You gotta get out

You can't stand to see me shaking

No

Could you let me go?

I didn't think so

[Verse 3]

And you don't wanna be here in the future

So you see the present's just a pleasant interruption to the past

And you don't wanna 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

[Chorus 1]

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

[Verse 4]

And I had dreams that I would learn to play guitar

Maybe cross the country

Become a rock star

And there was hope in me that I could take you there

Dammit, you're so young

But I don't think I care

And if I hurt you

Then I'm sorry

It's just this guilt has got the best of me

[Chorus 2]

And then you'd bring me home

'Cause we both know what it's like to be alone, no

And I'm dreaming in your living room

But we don't have much room to live

[Musical interlude]

[Verse 5]

And Konstantine is coming down the stairs

Doesn't she look good

Standing in her underwear

And I been thinking

What I was thinking, no

But she's been drinking, and it doesn't get me anywhere

[Verse 6]

And Konstantine came walking down the stairs

And all that I could do was touch her long, blonde hair

And I was thinking

What I was thinking, y'know

But we'd been drinking and doesn't get me anywhere

[Musical interlude]

[Verse 7]

This is because I can spell confusion with a K

It's hard to like it

It's to dying in another's arms

And why I had to try it

It's to Jimmy Eat World and those nights in my car

But this time I'm alone

And I don't see those stars

I'm not your star

Isn't that what you said

What you thought this song meant

What you thought this song meant

[Verse 8]

If this is what it takes

To lie with my mistakes

And live with what I did to you

All the things I put you through

I always catch the clock

It's 11:11

Now you want to talk

It's not hard to dream

You'll always be my Konstantine

[Bridge]

They'll never hurt you like I do

No, they'll never hurt you like I do

No, no, no no no no no no

[Verse 9]

This is to a girl who got into my head

With all these pretty things she did

Hey

Baby

You know that you keep me up in bed

It's to a girl who got into my head

With all these fucked up things I did

Hey

Maybe

Baby

You could keep me up in bed

My Konstantine

Spin around me like a dream

We played out on this movie screen

And I said

Did you know I've missed you?

And did you know I've missed you?

Did you know I've missed you?

Did you know I missed you?

Did you know I miss you?

And did you know I miss you?

Did you know I miss you?

God I miss you

[Chorus 3]

And then you bring me home

And we'll go to sleep, but this time, not alone, no no

And you'll kiss me in your living room

And you see, oh

That I've been missing in my living room

'Cause it's all you

This is what I miss, what I miss

We don't have much room

I said does anybody need that room?

Because we all need a little bit of room

To live

My Konstantine
