This is a song about how someone's life sucks and everyone is out to get him/her. He/She has commited so many sins that he/she is afraid to confess, while others let them out: "We paint our sins on the ceiling. I keep them glued to my chest.""Just nine more minutes please. They all know where to find me."

okay so here it is: picture this:

a guy laying in bed with his GF and they wake up. Her alarm goes off.she hits the snooze.she wants to sleep. He indicates they all know where to find me. meaning when the 9 minutes are up.. He wants to talk and he wants her attn. Ie- the alarm is all her concentration is towards due to sleeping in. They paint the sins on the cieling.. just say yes..say yes.. Say yes.. This guy desparatly wants to know the truth. when he states the color of the pills.. who you gonna call tonite?! she must have been a pill popper bc the pills she takes. The words that I said what a big mistake and the ones you left out are keeping me away... means he wants to know the truth .. possibly her cheating and he knows its been going on. " I'm sorry it took me so long" c mon guys .. listen to it. " we paint our sins on the ceiling.. and I keep them glued to my chest.. like a promise kept.. Say yes.. Say yes .... Say yes...

hope this helps

this to me sounds like a relationship between breaking up and staying together..theres a lot of doubt and not lies but just not whole thruth..or not a lot of trust


Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes
Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes

I'm sorry it took me so long
I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around)
I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around)*perhaphs to come around as in start thinking stright..get his head in order...or it could mean to physically come around to her place"

Your famous last words started once your fingers hit the snooze
Just nine more minutes, please..*theres a reason why he dosnt want to get up..maybe not to face her*


(And they) They all know where to find me
Every word that I said, what a big mistake
And the ones you left out are keeping me away*he dosnt want to be around her because she's not telling him all he want to know..not living up to his fantasies*

Well I will never make another promise (without you)
I will never make another promise (with you in mind)* it sounds like this girls done something to make him not trust people..maybe he made promises and she was never on the same page as him..or she hurt him*



So pace the stairs to your apartment
Like it's where you wanna be
(where you wanna be)
It's where you wanna be
(where you wanna be)*hes saying how he dosnt want to be in this relationship and neither does she but because h she might be trying to protect his feelings*

I'm sorry it took me so long
I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around)
I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around)* to figure out how she feels*

Well there's a secret I've been perfecting,
I swore I wouldn't but you let me
I'm comfortably confused*he'd rather not know the whole truth anymore*
(and you...) You've gotten so removed8throught the time theyve been together she's become distant..and in this song he's deciding to break up*
You know I, I could take the place of those pills
Ocean blue, paint it white
Now who ya gonna call tonight?*she may not act like ti but she needs him but won't admitt it*

Well I will never make another promise (without you)
I will never make another promise (with you in mind)*in other words its over..and she's taken a piece of him away*

So pace the stairs to your apartment*take your time ..dont be too excited your broken up..but be comfortable tht you are because this is how you wanted it*
Like it's where you wanna be.
(where you wanna be)
It's where you wanna be
(where you wanna be)
[x2]

We paint our sins on the ceiling*where no one will look*
I keep them glued to my chest(wont let heart ache go easily


It keeps me close like a promise kept*whats happened keps him closed off from opening up to people and trusting them because he made a very important promise to this girl and she betrayed it..a promise kept is secure safe,just like how he feels when he distances him self fomr others*
(Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes)

If I talk in my sleep,*its disturbing his sleep* will you just keep trying? *keep trying other people..to get back with him?*
