Konstantine Lyrics

They'll never hurt you like I do
No, They'll never hurt you like I do
No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No, No

This is to a girl who got into my head
With all these pretty things she did
Hey Baby, You know that you keep me up in bed
It's to a girl who got into my head

With all the fucked up things I did
Hey maybe baby, you could keep me up in bed
My Konstantine


Spin around me like a dream
We played out on this movie screen
And I said
Did you know I miss you?
Did you know I miss you?
Did you know I miss you?
Did you know I miss you?
Did you know I miss you?
Did you know I miss you?
Did you know I miss you?

God, I miss you

And then you bring me home
And we'll go to sleep but this time not alone, no no
And you'll kiss me in your living room, oh
And you see, no, that I've been missing in my Living room
'Cause this is what I miss, what I miss

We don't have much room
I said, does anybody need that room?
Because we all need a little more room
To live

My Konstantine

About

Genius Annotation

“Konstantine” tells the story of a tumultuous relationship between a teenage boy and girl. Andrew McMahon says “Konstantine” (once believed to be his now-wife, Kelly) is about a “composite” of girls, although one shapes the story the most. The song reflects what love is like when you’re a teen—super dramatic, full of ups and downs, in love with someone one day but ready to date someone else the next.

When asked why Konstantine isn’t played in concerts, Andrew McMahon told the Chicago Tribune, “I think people understand why I don’t. I feel like I made a pretty strong case for why I don’t. I don’t like leaving a song that people love off the setlist, but being that it’s the length of three songs, it’s just a really hard thing when on any given night you have 15 to 18 songs to play and on an opening set even less, to commit you know, more than 10 percent of your setlist to an old song that doesn’t mean as much as it once did.”

What did Something Corporate say about "Konstantine"?
Genius Answer

If I ever play it, I’ll have to play it forever, every night. If it weren’t such a big deal for me to play “Konstantine”, then I probably would play it. But the truth is, as soon as I bring that song out one time, I will never be able to walk through a venue, no matter what band I’m playing with or no matter where I’m at, and not have people chant and cheer for it.
