Let ring...
A complicated sunset
Sets the mood within the room
All bets are up and
We keep looking down
To try and find
The will to turn this around.
I spent the last three months
In mental traction
Woeing all I could forsee
I slept myself free and
Cursed it all awake
The medicine I'd take.
I broke down
On the train to Southtown
Midway inbound
Eleven to your seven
I held out
Carrying this crutch around
Angry words came rushing out
Eleven to your seven.
Now I could pound the keys so hard and
Make the mallets slap the strings and
Pump the pedals till I'm breathless and
Sing off key
Wouldn't that be just like me?
Now people in the back yell hey
When they see me today
I got a smile so wide it stems offstage
They say go go your gone soul and
For all I know
They now know
Oh no.
You broke down
As I tore the pages out
During all the painful parts
Eleven to your seven
You held out
Carrying your diary around
Angry ink came rushing out
Eleven to your seven.
So we finished the night and
We laud the long ride
Because it leads to my own bed
So at least tonight my head
Will be alright
Alright
We broke down
Miles out of Morgantown
A midnight rainstorm crashing down
Not one breathing soul around
Eleven to your seven.
THE END, THATS ALL FOLKS :) PLZ RATE THE TAB, THX, MoNkEyZ OUT!

| I do agree it's about being in a band.. but I dont think it's about necessarilly living life to the fullest.. I think it's about having trouble with a girl (girlfriend?) and like she's been writing all this stuff about him in her diary.. and he found out.. and he's just really upset about the whole relationship in general (I spent the last 3 months in mental traction)... but he doesn't want it to show while onstage... because he doesnt want everyone to know about it... | |

| umm i do believe it's about when braid broke up and they were all going through some emotional stuff because a very excellent band went byebye. but then they made hey mercedes and everything was peachy. yeah so this song is just a lot of anger and whatnot. | |

| 11 and 7 go together: they rhyme, they're both lucky numbers in gambling, and of course there's your local 7-11. | |

| i think its about being a rock star and letting it all hang out...having a good time (got a smile so wide it stems offstage), even though he apepars to have some turmoil that he can't let the audience know about (for all i know, they all know, oh no) | |
