My List Lyrics

Let me wrap myself around you, let you show me how I see
And when you come back in from nowhere, do you ever think of me?
Your heart is not able
Let me show you how much I care

I need those eyes to tide me over, I'll take your picture when I go
Gives me strength and gives me patience but I'll never let you know
I got nothin' on you, baby, but I always said I'd try
Let me show you how much I care
But sometimes it gets hard and don't she know

Don't give the ghost up just clench your fist
You shoulda known by now you were on my list
Don't give the ghost up just clench your fist
You shoulda known by now you were on my list

Don't give the ghost up just clench your fists
You should have known by now you were on my list
When your heart is not able
And your prayers, they're not fables

Let me show you, let me show you
Let me show you, let me show you
Let me show you how much I care, oh

I finally understand this song after going through probably the biggest heartbreak of my entire life. I see it as these two people were horribly in love and now something happened between them and the other person is trying their best to get them back and to show them how much they mean to them. The line about the eyes gets to me more than any other phrase ever could. So here is my very personal and emo interpretation of "My List".

Let me wrap myself around you Let show me show you how I see it And when you come back in from nowhere Do you ever think of me? Your heart, not able Let me show you, how much I care

[Let me hold you and love you and I can show you where you've gone wrong. I can show you the way I see; I see we can be happy if you'd let me explain to you how I feel. Now that you've left me, do you think of me as much as I think of you? I know that your heart isn't able to love me like it was able and I know you're scared to love me again, but I could fix it if you could give me a chance to show you how much you mean to me.]

I need those eyes to tide me over I'll take your picture when I go Gives me strength and gives me patience But I'll never let you know I got nothing on you babe But I always said I'll try Let me show you How much I care Sometimes it gets hard Don't you know?

[Your eyes are, and have always been, the one thing that could pull me through the worst. I'll take your picture with me now that I can't have those eyes. I need them give me strength and hope in life and you could never understand what they mean to me. Even though you've hurt me, I've got nothing on you. I don't want to get back at you. I always told you I'd always love you and I'd always try to keep you, so I'm going to hold up to my word and do whatever I can to keep you by my side. We both know that love is hard, but you have to try when things seem the bleakest.]

Don’t give the ghost up just clench your fist You should have known by now You were on my list (x3)

Your heart, not able Your ways, they're not able Let me show you (x3) How much I care

[Please, just don't give up on us. Be strong and I know we can make it. After all this time, you should've know that I love you more than anything. Again, I know your heart is scared to love me and you don't know if you can anymore. But I can show you something new if you'd give me and us one more chance.]

Brandon said he wrote it for his wife so basically it's a love song.

i think this song is about a man who has gone to war and how a lot of soldiers make a death letter before they die, he talks about this girl and how she is the reason he is perservering....

also, i think it could be about a criminal going to prison and is missing his girl

these lyrics are wrong, well at least the chorus is...i think these are right

Let me wrap myself around you Let you show me how I see it And when you come back in from nowhere Do you ever think of me? Your heart, is not able Let me show you, how much I care I need those eyes to tide me over I'll take your picture when I go Gives me strength and gives me patience But I'll never let you know I got nothing on you baby But I always said I'll try Let me show you How much I care Sometimes it gets hard Don't you know?

Don't give the ghost ??? just clench your fist touch your face You should know by now You were on my list (x3)

Your heart, is not able Your prayers, they're not fables Let me show you (x3) How much I care

When you rock and roll with me There's nowhere else I'd rather be When you rock and roll with me There's nowhere else I'd rather be

some parts are not spot on but it sounds like the right lines
