LYRICS:

Her Words Destroyed My Planet

Intro

Maybe you were right after all
Maybe I'm just bad news
I've been drowning in memories
Call it residual blues
I fell asleep watching veronica mars again

Verse 1

I still futz with that tourniquet
I'd tried to squeeze on your dreams
Slung it on, it's a perfect fit
What do you suppose that means?
My parents keep asking when I'm planning on comin' around

Chorus

If we'd only stayed together
I might not have fallen apart
But the words you said destroyed my planet.
I stall before I start.
I stall before I start. Anything at all.

Verse 2

Got a job at uncommon grounds, I finally shaved off that beard
Sold my Xbox to Jimmy down the street, I even quit smoking weed
Im taking an online course, Im learning to speak Japanese

Chorus

If we'd only stayed together
I might not have fallen apart
But the words you said destroyed my planet.
I stall before I start.
I stall before I start. Anything at all.

Bridge

Things that used to mean so much to me, have gone away with dinosaurs and hopes and dreams and everything,
All I want for you to be is happy or something I guess anything is better than the time you spent hoping I get it sorted out.

Post-Bridge

I sent you a postcard but the post office sent it back, they said the buildings been torn down, I just miss what I thought we both had.

End Chorus

If we'd only stayed together, I might not have fallen apart
But the words you said destroyed my planet, its all my fuckin' fault.


If we'd only stayed together
I might not have fallen apart
But the words you said destroyed my planet.
I stall before I start.
I stall before I start. Anything at all...

Unless I'm missing somthing, the chorus is just Justin Pierre double tracking his voice, one high, one low..

[LukeIsCool411]

i agree. it sounds like justin on the low track as well as high. cause mark is simply a producer and might have a vocal in another song, like hangman in CTTM, but he doesn't do the backing. but who knows, i can be completely wrong.

[youtubrgirl12345]

It's actually "I still fuss with that tourniquet" not "I slipped up with that tourniquet".

[LukeIsCool411]

thanks! i'll change that

[Timazingness]

haggsin you are fucking awesome I bet you were probably the first person to EVER discover this band

[sudsysarahjane]

everyone quit rippin on how it sounds, it fucking awesome.

[wthmate91]

@youtubrgirl12345 nope wait, I was totally wrong, the clean music video still has the word in it

[wthmate91]

@youtubrgirl12345 I keep hearing "fucked with that tourniquet" but it might just be my lost mind

[foreverandever8283]

@triplej057 Not all songs have to be written by the lyricist's point of view. Sometimes, songs are just stories. :)

[triplej057]

Maybe I am wrong, but I think that the lead singer is 33 years old??

He sounds "young", but I think that it is pretty strange to be singing a song about "his parents", and "getting a job at Common Grounds", and Xbox, online courses, and smoking weed when you are 33 years old...

If he was 19 maybe this would make more sense, and, as I said he does sound "young and emo", but it's just weird when he is 33, and they have been a band since 1997...

Maybe he wrote this song way back in 1996....

[falloutboytohmi]

[Copidat]

[royisadude]
