endless desire Konstantine
Something_Coporate

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 inbetween
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 clovers
and your restless, and i'm naked
you've gotta 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 wanna be here in the future
so you say the present's just a pleasent interruption to the past
and you don't wanna look much closer
cuz your 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
and i'm sleeping in your living room
but we don't have much room
to live

I had these dreams that i learned to play guitar
maybe cross the country
become a rock star
and there was hope in me that i could take you there
but dammit you're so young
well i don't think i care
and if i hurt you
then i'm sorry
please don't think that this was easy

then you bring me home
cuz we both know what it's like to be alone
and i'm dreaming in your living room
but we don't have much room
to live

and konstantine is walking down the stairs
doesn't she look good
standing in her underwear
and i was thinking
what i was thinking
we've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere

my Konstantine came walking down the stairs
and all that i could do is touch her long blonde hair
and i've been thinking
it hurts me thinking that these nights
when we were drinking no they never got us anywhere
no

this is because i can spell konfusion with a k
and i 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
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 in my mistakes
and live with what i did to you
and 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

konstantine, 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

this is to a girl who got into my head
with all the pretty things she did
hey
you know
you keep me up in bed
this is to a girl who got into my head
with all the 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_miss_you?
did_you_know_i_miss_you?
did_you_know_i_miss_you?
did_you_know_i_miss_you?
did_you_know_i_miss_you?
did_you_know_i_miss_you?
did_you_know_i_miss_you?
oh god i miss you

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
i know
you'll miss me in your living room
cuz these nights i think maybe that i'll miss you in my living room))
we don't have much room
i said does anybody need that room?
because we all need a little more room
to live

my Konstantine

val 'when the first star you see may not be a star...' Something Corporate are genius's. They put so much emotion and real feeling from real events that have happened in their life into their songs and that's what connects them to so many fans. Their songs really make you think and i fucking love them. 040508

Amy Nicole* Does anybody know what Konstantine actually means though? like... Konstantine was the name of like, a Roman or Greek Leader of an army.. and there's like a wall in Europe called "Konstantine's Wall" or something.... but what does Konstantine actually mean? there is no definition anywhere..... It really intrigues me. Somebody let me know. 040616
...
mood ring probably something like 'steadfast' or 'long-lasting'. 040616

djneighneigh the word konstantine in this song isnt in reference to someones specific name, andrew is talking about his ex-girlfriend and how she was a Konstant to him. constantine is a country, i think in algeria. and back in the day it was over taken and then rebuilt. konstantine is a metaphor in that sense. 040622
...
am i i think konstantine is the metaphore of how his love was a constant yet their relationship wasn't... his love was what helped him keep a "ruitine" life... she was what made him...him. she was his everything\



right?

specialk go to songfacts.com or something like that...

About a relationship that is filled with ups and downs, but mostly downs. Lead singer Andrew McMahon wrote it about his ex-girlfriend Krystal, which is why it's Konstantine and not Constantine. The lyrics about the living room are about making out with her. The line "I can spell Konfusion with a "k" and I can like it" refers to how "Krystal" usually isn't spelled with a K. (thanks, Emily - Madison, WI)
The band didn't release this on an album because they didn't think it would sound right in that context. It is a very popular song among their fans, and has spread through downloading.

so there you have it... the question is answered!

specialk I was wondering about this part "wake up lying in a patch of four leaf clovers and your restless, and I'm naked you've gotta get out you can't stand to see me shaking" do you know anything about it.

the whole 'it's to jimmy eat world and those nights in my car' part is a direct homage to the jimmy eat world song 'to me this is heaven'. read those lyrics and you'll see it.

Well I know many people ask why the song says "I always catch the clock it's 11:11" Well the thing about 11:11 is the time of the day when your suppose to make a wish.

This broke the standard 3 minute popsong barrier wide open. Not even the Beatles had attempted something like this. The Stones played this live in Europe in the mid 60's.

just a few more facts about the song for you guys... enjoy!

Damion Konstantine means either the elusive female who is beautiful and mysterious or the girl the boy will always love forever.

Read it on these definition sites, I'm trying to look it up myself.

andrea Andrew McMahon's ex-girlfriend's name was "Krystal". Therefore, he spells Konstantine with a K. (: 080108
