David Cook performing MWK's Anodyne at Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh, NY on March 1, 2009

Lyrics:

Baby it's our hearts' slow beating
that make us grow old
I mean to say there's no one helping
we're digging our own hole

I'm reading your words
they're scrawled on the page
they lay here in silent rage
I'll hold you to this
for as long as I breathe
much more than whispers

If I ever found a one leaf clover
it would be you
wishing that such heights were lower
and nothing is new

Citing your verse, it couldn't sound worse
The black recital I did rehearse
We all die alone, and as I'm clenching this phone
Can't imagine a slowing hearse

how many times will I play the hero
How many lies before it's true
How many times will we clock out at zero
how many tries before we're through
how many lives till another you

The scars are slowly healing
The lips have regained feeling
the obstacles are kneeling
the final wax is sealing
The great white ships are sailing
the feet have left their railing
the four last hooves are hailing

how many times will I play the hero
How many lies before it's true
How many times will we clock out at zero
how many tries before we're through
how many lives till another you

Baby it's our hearts' slow beating
that make us grow old
I mean to say there's no one helping
we're digging our own hole

  • Can Some please remind the names of the band members? I know that there is David (OF COURSE) Kyle, Neil, Joey.

  • Kyle (drums) Joey (bass) Neal (lead guitar) and Andy (rhythm guitar, keyboard)

  • @justicelvr i thought bass was Monty. It was at the concert i went to

  • Monty joined the band on tour in July. This show was in March.

  • Is there anyone who has a album version with David singing this song that they could upload on Youtube? Or just the Midwest Kings version on their album.

  • There isn't an album version with David on vocals. It was recorded by MWK with Andy on vocals. You can download it on iTunes

  • @arandommess228 but...I am gonna marry him.....soooo....LOL XD <3

  • Oh and K, thanks for having one of the few videos without distorted sound. Oh that's right, this was the show where we were kept at bay by the cops.

  • Awww memories of my first DC&TA show followed by the 4+ hour ride home in a freaking blizzard. Forgot how hot this particular performance was. And David, PLEASE give us back this hat-less hair and less of the Jimmy Neutron mega-forehead style of late. Thank you.

  • david rock´s

  • My God, just wow! Love the emotion he puts behind it!

  • This is bueatiful. so good i cant spell.

  • Word is is that it's about the suicide of a friend. (The song "Vera" is also about the same thing.)

  • only the guys could say what the meaning is, but to me the words reflects the death of a relationship.

    Anodyne means "healing" or something that relieves pain.
