astonishing!!!

i'd always thought that BOWLING FOR SOUP was merely a shallow party band (songs like "1985") but oh man, i just came across this song WHEN WE DIE from them on MTV and the lyrics and the vid were just so incredibly touching...it made me feel really quite humbled and thankful for family...and quite stupid for being the pigheaded arsehole that i sometimes am with my family... *sigh*

i hope that you enjoy this song/vid...


When We Die Lyrics
Well, I know that it's early
And it's too hard to think.
And the broken empty bottles
Are reminder in the sink.
But I thought that I should tell you
If it's not to late to say.
I can put back all the pieces
They just might not fit the same.

Cause nothing's worth losing
Especially the chance to make it right.

And I know that we're gonna be fine.
And the tattooed mistakes
Are gonna fade over time.
As long as we live, time passes by.
And we won't get it back when we die.

Well I know it's been years now
And I don't look the same.
And the hopes and dreams you had for me
You thought went down the drain.
And the room feels so empty
where my pictures used to be.
And I can't say that I blame you,
But you can't blame me.

Cause nothing's worth losing
Especially the chance to make it right.

And I know that we're gonna be fine.
And the tattooed mistakes
Are gonna fade over time.
As long as we live, time passes by.
And we won't get it back when we die.

Come over.
Come over.

Cause I gotta know,
If I am doing this all on my own.

Come over.
Come over.

How can I show you if you're not here?

And I know that we're gonna be fine.
And the tattooed mistakes
Are gonna fade over time.
As long as we live, time passes by.
And we won't get it back when we die.

And I know that we're gonna be fine.
(and I know that we're gonna be fine)
And the tattooed mistakes
Are gonna fade over time.
As long as we live, time passes by.
And we won't get it back when we die.

Come over.
Come over.

Come over.
Come over.
Come over.
Come over.
(I gotta know)
And we won't get it back when we die.
(well, I know that it's early...)
