I am a sucker for the band Saves the Day. I just think that they are so amazing and one of the truly great bands of today. Also, I really love their singer Chris Conley's lyrics... he is a genius. His songs reflect personal emotions yet they are easy for all kids to relate to. He has a real knack for creative lyrical expression, and many of his lyrics make fantastic quotes. Thus, I put together this quote page to list a bunch of them that I find very impressive. The photos were taken from the UnOfficial (yet vastly superior) Saves the Day website. Check it out unless you don't like fun. (I'm sure that there are other cool Saves the Day quotes beyond these, but this is a pretty big list. If you have your own, make a topic in the Message Board for cool lyrical quotes!
My ribs have parted ways, said we're not going to protect this heart you have My heart is on the floor, why don't you step on it? When I think of all the things you've done... After a while you can make yourself believe in almost anything... so I'm making myself believe in you Who ever made up open skies, and two of the bluest eyes, must be some young phenom Roll on top of my baby, just roll roll roll... We'll wreck our clothes, we'll scrape our knees, we'll taste the scabs 
And I say "Just go, please Dave just drive. Get us as far as far can be, get us away from tonight." And I say "I'm sorry, didn't mean to yell I'm having a bad week and I miss my mom." You never know what you have, until you get it yanked out of your chest, I am walking to the water, standing on the banks starring at my reflection oh my God I look pathetic tonight Now I've made the decision to walk behind you in the dark for the rest of my life, and I'll never show my face again, cause it's too scarred and bloody to be enough Friends don't mean a thing when you can actually feel the knife sticking in your spine I have to dream at night of who I was and why after twenty years of marriage I am what is left and I'd like to go back now and make myself up because I'd be a brick so I wouldn't feel and I'd lift myself up and I'd throw myself at this house to break windows and smash walls just to keep time where it was and where it should be. 
you're not seeing what I'm missing 'cause I am missing you and I think that we should run as fast as we can into what we don't know I'll remember turning around and looking out And staring in and focusing on this one beautiful girl And I said, "Oh who is this? Where was she all those crazy years? Where was she when my heart couldn't take its beat?" Let me take this awkward saw, and run it against your thighs, cut some flesh away I'll carry this piece of you with me |
Why does my heart always beat before your's does? What has he got that I don't have, is it his brown eyes? I know blue eyes get boring but I'll wear dark glasses all the time, and hey if you want me to, I'll take a knife to, my own bright eyes I'd rather forget the days we spent than try to stay afloat in shallow water 
Maybe you'll never remember me, maybe my face will lose these scars, Sometimes they keep me home at night where I duck under the covers and whince when I see the light I remember when I sat on those steps watching the moon chase the sky back untill the world seemed like it would explode and I could picture going up with it it'd be just how I'd like to go You and I are like when fire and the ocean floor collide If every limb were broken, tires had all worn thin and my toes are all in pieces. Do you know what I would do? I would play can you drag yourself 200 miles with just your fingernails? A little game that I made up. Do you know that I never ever lose? 
And I looked out past her cheeks, through the glass light conduit, the sun had sunk already, disappeared into New Jersey Don't leave yet, it's too early and I haven't even said a word and I'm hoping, that I might upset you saying what I want to cause it's not like you don't know I've fallen for you I once sat up on my roof, examining the planning of my town, saw the structured grid and pavement cutting through grass, remembered the cold of winter running up the legs of my pants, I picked the nicest lawn and imagined the two of us rolling around down along the ground isn't it ironic how you still have ideals and I still have nothing? and now I'm hoping that you'll change so we can see straight some day.

You're too stupid to be aware of the beauty that you give this place and how shitty this town would be without you in it Well, guess what now? I'm diving in this river, and fishing out my heart, I'm never gonna let you get your hands on this again I will carry all the weights tonight cause I keep remembering the day that you said you might go crazy if you spend one more minute with me and I just don't know, is one more minute going to kill you now? For a second there I thought I was fine But oh, whatever I've tasted my own blood, and now every time you walk on by, I feel like spitting in your eye This is not the way I pictured getting hurt. 
I'll give you a thousand reasons that tonight, you should grant me this one wish. Like the one year of my life that I gave to you and now you put me through hell you break me up, I should hate you but I can't replace you in my heart, why am I so pathetic? I don't get it why you won't return my calls I'd buy you lemonade right now if you were here, then I'd through it in your face, and I'd listen to you cry, and I'd remember how I miss our nights under ocean skies I dreamed of wrecking my underwear. Oh can I touch your cheeks somewhere under dirt filled rainy nights with my socks stuck in the mud? Please come dive in puddles with me Could I cut out my liver, make a special potion to close my flat? Three parts my heart. Yeah, you know that I would do it in a second. I said, "that boy's handsome" and a little bit of me wanted to be beautiful 
I could win you over acting cool... just like real romance I sipped down some warm ginger ale And drew back a breath And headed over to see about this girl I couldn't say a thing and I just stared open and wide And I connected with her eyes to feel my gut fall through the floor Oh my god, I think I'm falling. I called my mom last night, she said "Sweetie, you don't need someone who's more fleeting than fall... Don't you love those leaves, don't you wish the orange stayed forever, and crickets sang in the night, all through winter? |
