Hear You Me (Jimmy Eat World)

I definitely wish I could post all of Jimmy Eat World's Lyrics here. then... have their baby. the collective one, mind you. not like the frontman's baby or anything. you know what i mean. and you definitely know what I mean if you listen to any Jimmy Eat World.

There's no one in town I know
You gave us someplace to go
I never said thank you for that
Thought I might get one more chance

What would you think of me now?
So lucky
So strong
So proud
I never said thank you for that
Now I'll never have a chance

May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads the sleepless go
May angels lead you in

What would you think of me now?
So lucky
So strong
So proud
I never said thank you for that
Now I'll never have a chance

May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads the sleepless go
May angels lead you in


May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in
May angels lead you in

If you were with me tonight
I'd sing to you just one more time
A song for a heart so big
God wouldn't let it live

May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
One sleepless roads the sleepless go
May angels lead you in

May angels lead you in
Hear you me my friends
On sleepless roads the sleepless go
May angels lead you in
On sleepless roads the sleepless go
May angels lead you in

For some reason, I think of Mark Brewer when I hear that song. Some of you (the mppc crowd) know who he is... most of you probably don't. Don't know why, but there it is.

I don't know you at all, but came across this entry. I love this song. I heard it while watching One Tree Hill. I have struggled to figure out what it means. What does it mean to you

idon't know- i think there are 2 things going on.

one part is someone who's gone, who was really influential/important in the singer's life, and the lyrics hope that person's life is good. and stuff about the singer wishing he'd told that person something before they left/died.

and then there's the singer dealing with their absense, i guess. hoping that even though it's sad that person is gone, that the singer can be happy that the person is safe.

at least, that's what it means to me.
