Kris Together

[taks]

A Twitter debate made me realize we needed a thread for this so we can actually figure out what he's saying. I'll edit this post with what we come up with.

ETA: Alright, screw the "official" lyrics, I made some changes

Live Like We're Dying - ("Official" Lyrics)
Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up
We're hiding behind skin that's too tough
How come we don't say I love you enough?
'Til it's too late, it's not too late

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come
And we could make a feast from these crumbs
And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you, what would you wished you would've done?

Yeah we gotta start lookin' at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got then we gotta start thinkin'
If every second counts on a clock that's tickin
Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
Gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

If your plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbye?
Should be so careful who we let fall out our lives
Or when we long for absolution, there'll be no one on the line

Yeah, we gotta start lookin' at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got, then we gotta start thinkin'
If every second counts on a clock that's tickin'
Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
Gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying, oh, like we're dying, oh, like we're dying
Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
Gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

You never know a good thing 'til it's gone
You never see a crash 'til it's head on
Why do we think we're right when we're dead wrong?
You never know a good thing 'til it's gone

Yeah, we gotta start lookin' at the hands of the time we've been given
If this is all we got, then we gotta start thinkin'
If every second counts on a clock that's tickin
Gotta live like we're dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
Gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying, oh, like we're dying, oh, like we're dying
Like we're dying, oh, like we're dying

We only got 86 400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
Gotta tell 'em that we love 'em while we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we're dying

Before We Come Undone
You could break this silence with
Words we wish we'd never said
But I can hear it like a scream
What's become of you and me?
Are we still inside this night?
Or am I going crazy?

I'm just trying to understand
Who I was and who I am
But you are changing just the same
So can you tell me who's to blame
Could we put our weapons down
Just to figure this out

Now, pride is out the door
Cause I know we can make it before (make it before)
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I'll wait til you say I'm the only one (that I'm the only one)
Before we come, before we come undone

If you say that it's too late
Those are words my heart can't take
And this night is out to kill
And if we let it, it will
Could we both forgive somehow?
Cause I'm not letting you down

Now, pride is out the door
Cause I know we can make it before (make it before)
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I'll wait til you say I'm the only one (that I'm the only one)
Before we come, before we come undone

Watch out here we go
There's no turning back, you know
We can't keep going round and round and round and round

So now, pride is out the door
Cause I know we can make it before (make it before)
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I'll wait til you say I'm the only one (that I'm the only one)
Before we come, before we come undone

Pride is out the door
Cause I know we can make it before (make it before)
Make it before the sun breaks another day
I'll wait till you say I'm the only one (that I'm the only one)
Before we come, before we come undone

Before we come undone
Before we come undone

Can't Stay Away
I see ya, girl, walkin' over here, can't look away
I see you left a trail of broken hearts on your way to me
I try to not let it show
But I know that you know, yeah

You break me down every time you make a move
Without a sound, girl you make me come unglued
And I don't know what you did to me
And I don't care what the doctors say
Cause no matter what you do
I can't stay away from you (Oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
I can't stay away from you (Oh oh oh, oh oh oh)

There's something 'bout the way you make me feel, I'm ready to confess
They checked my heart and it's terminally ill, baby I'm a mess
I'm done trying to deny
That without you, I'll be alright

You break me down every time you make a move
Without a sound, girl you make me come unglued
And I don't know what you did to me
And I don't care what the doctors say
Cause no matter what you do
I can't stay away from you (Oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
I can't stay away from you (Oh oh oh, oh oh oh)

Twenty four hours a day, ain't nearly enough no way
To get to know you, from head to toe
You know how to captivate
Please, baby don't make me wait
I'm at your door
I need more, more, more, more, more
Oh, oooh

You break me down every time you make a move
Without a sound, girl you make me come unglued
And I don't know what you did to me
And I don't care what the doctors say
Cause no matter what you do
I can't stay away from you (Oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
I can't stay away from you (Oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
I can't stay away from you (Oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
I can't stay away from you (Oh oh oh, oh oh oh)

Is It Over
This time you say it’s for good
You’ve (played/faked) kind for as long as you could
With your head in your hands and your tears on my chest
I think to myself, I’m not giving up yet and I say

Is it over
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To rewrite our story tonight
Would you care or are you already gone

So take your time
As you’re headed for the door
‘Cause I might find the right words to say if you give me a second more
I’m no good at goodbyes and my pride’s here to see
That I won’t let you go as you walk out on me and I say

Is it over
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To rewrite our story tonight
Would you care or are you already gone

I wish I could make you stay
Just like you should (if you/so) take it slow before you go
And if its all gonna end let me ask you again
‘Cause I need to be sure

Is it over
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To rewrite our story tonight
If I crawl on my knees would you come back to me
To rewrite our story tonight
Would you care or are you already gone
Would you care, are you already gone

Are you already gone

Let It Rain
So many things are trying to keep me
And so many voices try and reach me
To tell me that this is not the way
To tell me that this is my mistake

Oh let the rain keep falling down
‘Cause it won't stop me from getting where I'm bound
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe it's too late
But I'm gonna make it
Don't care what the skies say
So oh let it rain, let it rain

I know that this is not the way
That you imagined it would be
Oh but nothing you say is gonna stop me
No matter the weather that you bring

Oh let the rain keep falling down
‘Cause it won't stop me from getting where I'm bound
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe it's too late
But I'm gonna make it
Don't care what the skies say
So oh let it rain, let it rain

Let it rain
Let it rain

So many things are trying to keep me
Mmm, so many voices try and reach me

So oh let the rain keep falling down
Cause it won't stop me from getting where I'm bound , yeah
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe it's too late
But I'm gonna make it
Don't care what the skies say
So oh let it rain, let it rain

Let it rain
Let it rain, yeah
Let it rain
Let it rain

So many things are trying to keep me

Alright With Me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm a little pawn still in your game
And you ignore my advances
I turn my head and I look away
But I can't control my eyes are on you yeah.

Oh, you're on the run and I'm chasing you
It feels like war with all your glances
I'm just a boy without a clue
And you got control, I’m following you yeah

But it's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
Yeah, It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me

[Now] I know you better than you know
You can fight, but it's not over
I say stop, but you start to go
I guess that means L-O-V-E

I say to look, but you turn away
I say we put our best foot forward
Will you believe, come next to me
Oh, why can't you see, I'm begging you please

But it's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
Yeah, it's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
Yeah it’s alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
Yeah, It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And I'm knocking on your door
Baby baby, please
Now I’m falling on your floor
Baby baby, please
I keep knocking on your door
Baby, baby, please
Now I’m falling on your floor
Baby baby, pleeeeease

Cause it's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
Yeah, It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me

It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me
It's alright, alright with me

Okay the above are the lyrics from KAO, but I swear the line is:
Should be so careful who we let fall out our lives.

I'm clearly insane.

[WynterWolf]

This is what I had for Is It Over... Couple of places are probably messed up, but it's a start:

This time you say it’s for good
You’ve played kind for as long as you could
With your head in your hands and your tears on my chest
I think to myself, I’m not giving up yet and I say

Is it over
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To rewrite our story tonight
Would you care or are you already gone

So take your time
As you’re headed for the door
‘Cause I might find the right words to say if you give me a second more
I’m no good at goodbyes and my pride’s here to see
That I won’t let you go as you walk out on me and I say

Is it over
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To rewrite our story tonight
Would you care or are you already gone

I wish I could make you stay
Just like you should if you take it slow before you go
And if its all gonna end let me ask you again
‘Cause I need to be sure

Is it over
Or can I turn you around
If I crawl on my knees
To rewrite our story tonight
If I crawl on my knees would you come back to me
To rewrite our story tonight
Would you care or are you already gone
Would you care, are you already gone

Are you already gone

[taks]

I hear everything the same except,
"Just like you should, so take it slow before you go"

Anyone else?

[WynterWolf]

Tweet from Cale:

calevis24 Hey folks, i hear the confusion on the "is it over" lyrics, i'll try to post the correct lyrics somewhere soon. None are right online

Finally!!

[mabe]

I hear everything the same except,
"Just like you should, so take it slow before you go"

Anyone else?

I hear "So" too...

[yobench]

I still for the life of me cannot hear "played kind" on the album version of Is It Over. All I hear is "faked kind." I don't hear anything that even remotely sounds like a P in that line.

I believe I started taks' Twitter war over those lyrics... sorry 'bout that! I totally tweeted Cale about clarifying the lyrics too. Glad he reads his @replies.

I guess I should state that up until about two days ago, I thought the lyrics in CSA were: "I see you left a trail of broken hearts on your way to Maine." So I'm not even going to pretend to be a Kris-lyric expert.

Same, I've never heard him actually say the "of of our lives" - maybe he's supposed to and chooses not to? Either way I've never actually heard him say it, so.

I love the potential for comedy in this thread, too, negl.

I hear "faked kind," too.

K, I've been avoiding this thread until I was well prepared. I'll be back soon...
