The Gamits - Dotted Lines (With Lyrics)

The Gamits were an Indie Punk/Pop Rock group from Denver, Colorado who formed in 1996, and were hailed as "America's best hidden pop/punk secret". The band had established itself quite well with five releases in the nine years it was together. The band was disbanded in 2005 due to the members wishing to participate in and start other projects. Surprisingly, over the band's nine year career, there were nine musicians who participated in it at one point or another; the only one of these who remained in the band throughout its entire career was Chris Fogal (Guitar, Vocals).


Lyrics -

i spun around in the moonlit sky
i'm hanging over like a satellite
you wanna understand but i can't explain
i knew you well before i said your name outloud
now it seems I'm a day behind
staying up until I'm going blind
i hear your voice and all the noise ends

i want to draw you in dotted lines
cut you out until i make you mine
i'll sew you to the sleeve of my favorite coat
take you with me everywhere i go
I'll write us both a bridge we can walk across
all one line so we can't get lost
and meet you at the ever after

i spent last night thinking of new words to make up
i passed my time wishing that i'd never wake up

i memorized all the colored words
sealed them up and folded into thirds
i had to borrow lines cuz im running out
disappearing in the sunlight now
i can't hear anything over all this sound
another wave and i will surely drown
i hear your voice and all the noise ends

@clcsqueejy04 I do admit it's a damn beautiful melody. Great song and great reply! I make fun of myself everyday. Can't be serious all the time. If there wasn't a song for every emotion music wouldn't be such a part of our lives. Life without music would make us all cry!

[clcsqueejy04]

@jbrannon01 Hehehe, Emotional is exactly what I mean. You know, the 'emo kids' who get all sad and stuff listening to music. And I think you're right! The melody almost brings me to tears, therefore, I'm like an emo kid, and therefore, I shall make fun of me! :D

Either way, the melody is damn beautiful. You gotta admit ;)

@clcsqueejy04 Define emo. Because I think it's short for emotional and it would be hard put emotional music in to one useless genre. Maybe you should make fun of yourself!

This song's melody actually almost brings me to tears. And I'm usually one of those guys who makes fun of emo kids. Haha. Seriously though. Damn.
