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

'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.

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.

probably something like 'steadfast' or 'long-lasting'.

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.

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?

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!

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. - Kelly Marie, Ft. Worth, TX 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. - Allison, Somewhere, NJ 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. - Alecia, Spencerport, NY 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. - Chelsea, NYC just a few more facts about the song for you guys... enjoy! -

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.

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