Konstantine - Something Corporate (original live version)

This is the original live version of Konstantine from Something Corporate's first album titled Ready... Break. The way he says "god I miss you" at 8:15 is perfect. Purposely made it 11:11 long.

Lyrics:

I can't imagine all the people that you know
And the places that you go
When the lights are turned down low
And I don't understand
All the things you've seen
But I'm slipping in between
You and your big... dreams
it's always you and my big dreams

And you tell me
That it's over
But I can't stand here in a patch of four leaf clover
And your restless
And I'm naked
You've got to get out
You can't stand to see me shaking
no, cuz you let me go

and you don't want to be here in the future
So you say
**the presents just a pleasant
Interruption to the past**
And you don't want to look much closer
'Cause you're afraid to find out all the hope
That you had sent into the sky by now had... crashed
and it did because of me

And then you bring me home
Afraid to find out that you're alone, no
And I'm sleeping in your living room
But we don't have much room
To live

I had dreams that I would learn to play guitar
Maybe cross the country
Become a rockstar
And there was hope in me
That I could take you there
Dammit you're so young
But I don't think I care
and if I hurt you then i'm sorry
its just this guilt has got the best of me

And then you bring me home
'Cause we both know what its like to be alone, no
And I'm dreaming in your living room
But we don't have much room
To live

Konstantine is coming down the stairs
Doesn't she look good
Standing in her underwear?
And I've been thinking
What I've been thinking, you know
But she's been drinking
And it doesn't get me anywhere.

Konstantine came walking down the stairs
And all that I could do
Was touch her long blond hair
And I was thinking
What I was thinking
But we've been drinking
And it doesn't get me anywhere.

This is because I can spell konfusion with a K
It's hard to like it
It's to dying in anothers arms
and why i had to try it
It's to jimmy eat world
and those nights in my car
but this time I'm alone
and I don't see those stars
I'm not your star
Isn't that what you said
what you thought this song meant
you thought this song meant

If this is what it takes
to lie in my mistakes
and live with what I did to you
and all the things i've put you through
I always catch the clock it's 11:11
And now you want to talk
it's not hard to dream
You'll always be my Konstantine

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

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 missed you
Did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed you
Did you know I missed 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,
what I've been missing in my living room
Cause it's all you
yeah this is what i've missed
what i've missed
We don't have much room
I said, Does anybody really need that room
'cause we all need a little but of room
To Live

My Konstantine

I heard this song for the first time in 2006 when i was blackout drunk at a frat party at Tri-State University in Angola Indiana. Played it on repeat all night in my friends dorm room while everybody was asleep. Must have listened to this 10 minute song at least 60 times. It's an absolute masterpiece. Every time I hear it, it takes me back to that magical night. Nobody tells you you're living in the good ole days when you're living in the good ole days. Take me back. Please. Just one night. I'll die a happy man.

This is the best and only version for me. Been listening to this one since my teenage years. Oh God the memories!

[TheAnthemOfOurLives]

Today me and my girlfriend decided to take a break from our relationship after 2 very hard months that led us thinking we need to clear our mind about us.

We’ve been living together for more than 4 years now and this morning we said goodbye to each other while crying, stealing from each other what seemed to be our last hug and without knowing how things will go for us.

Today this song is killing and cuddling me at the same time, my face is hurting me for all the tears I’ve cried.

And, to perfectly match with this song, this is the 11th year of our relationship.

I love this song to death

[Rid]

My girlfriend 20+ years ago put this song on a CD for me. First listened to it on a long drive in central California. I had to pull over and cry. Makes me think of her every time I re-hear it. Somehow that all fits with the song.

Ive loved this song more than half my life. heard it for the first time in 2002 when I was a loser townie hanging out at ISU in normal illinois with my friends from work that went to school there. Its been a top 10 favorite song of mine for the past 23 years.

[christinedunwoody]

I hope that one girl knows how freaking iconic her "yeah, Andrew!" still is 2 decades later 😆

[Thalia.o]

I knew this was the one when I heard the “Yeah Andrew!”

[andrewmcritchie]

This version is so raw I don't think I can ever listen to another version again. And I've been listening to this song for years beyond I can remember.

[KINGCIARA]

the limewire version on my MP3 player I fell in love with

[imaginepeace]

The way he says "god, I miss you" gets me every time....

[Ryheena]

I love that comment about the "God I miss you". That is exactly right. Its what makes this version way better.

[williamcasey]

"They'll never hurt you like I do" is the most raw and visceral lyric in any love/lost song I've ever heard.

[themasuokas]

Thank you for sharing this version. It's what made me fall in love with Something Corporate all those years ago. I'm suddenly 19 again, going to shows and having the time of my life. Thank you.

[CircaAlex]

Hello my Limewire friends. This is the version we grew up with.

[paolacorsi]

I finally found it
I agree with everyone, this is so far the best version ever

[iblackmagiki]

thank you, this is the version I fell in love with over ten years ago

[aksblu]

Thank you, this version is my lifeline.

[nikomoller]

Been searching this version for too long... thank you very much!

[sandiatkinson]

Wow, this version is amazing! Now I can't stop playing it 💗

[davidc]

This is my favorite version followed by the version where he infuses weezers, “only in dreams” lyrics into Konstantine.
“You can’t avoid her, she’s in the air… in between molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide… only in dreams you’ll see what it means. Reach out your hand and hold onto hers.”
