Yeah, I am very high and this song has now become one of my favorite. In the end, where his voice is like screaming from off in the distance is awesome! Also, I definitely agree with mcscumbag, who agrees with sashimi, who agrees with buddyro706

\"because friends don\'t waste wine when there\'s words to sell\" - that line jumped out at me when I first heard the song, I imagine it referring to friends ploughing through bottles of wine and just catting for hours, about anything and everything. Pretty much what paradigmshift said above, really. That\'s what it meant to me. It isn\'t my favourite Interpol song, but there\'s definitely something about it. It\'s got a kind of urgent tone, as does the other \'obstacle\'-titled song. oh yeah I\'m gonna see them live in 2 weeks also :) tis my birthday present, cannot wait

he's basically asking this girl out, not on a date, but into a relationship. I love the way he says 'you can fix me up girl, we'll go a long way'. So honest, heh. he's asking an insecure girl to take a chance on love. n'aaah.

ha someone has the name interpaul, hilarious buddyro706 said it all : "I think everyone is wrong about this song. To me he's talking about having sex, not starting a relationship. "I'm gonna pull you in close gonna wrap you up tight gonna play with the braids that you came here with tonight I'm gonna hold your face and toast the snow that fell because friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell"-painting a scenario of what he's going to do when he gets her alone. Kissing away her fears. And friends don't waste wine is talking about not wasting the mood. "if you don't trust yourself for at least one minute each day well you should trust in this girl cause loving is coming our way"- He's telling her that if she never trusts her feelings, now is the time. Again trying to convince her to sleep with him. "It takes a long time just to get this all straight I'll showcase on route 7 when i find the right place"- It takes time for it all to pan out, but he'll be ready for a long night of love making soon as he finds the right "showcase"-hotel. The funniest line to me is, "I've spent a long time corresponding in my own way"-masturbating Maybe I'm just horny, but that's what I got out of it" 1 2 Next

great song, really is the best chorus on totbl, the way that the lyrics are layered. "in my mind/this is my free time", i like it.

I just heard this CD a little while ago. I ended up with a whored out copy of Bright Lights because a friend wanted me to listen to it, and it's been passed around so many times I don't know who had it originally but everyone ends up loving the band so much they just buy Bright Lights and pass the burn on... so now it's my turn. I love this album, it is so amazing and this song is definetly my favourite... most of the their starts off so catchy and the drops down to depressing it's really and interesting style... haha... anyone an amazing song.

This is one of my favorite songs on bright lights. The whole song is just great; the melody, the lyrics, everything combines perfectly. I especially love the "..I feel like love is in the kitchen.." verse. Now that's being creatively romantic.

This is an incredible song. I love how everything just blends together. It's fantastic. And the way it starts off is great " I'm gonna pull you in close gonna wrap you up tight" just him. No insturmental intro. It's just him talking which makes it sound more urgent and sincere. I love it.

I disagree. personally I don't like this song as well as the others. it seems slightly more forced to me. I might just need to listen to it again, but it definitely is not my favorite. The best chorus is probably from stella, or leif erikson.

This song reminds me of the relationship that I have with my girlfriend especially the last line "it took time then I found you."

this song has some of the best interpol lyrics in my opinion...my favorite line is, "bc friends don't waste wine when there's words to sell"..to me it's a play on words, like wine=whine...friends don't waste their time whining when there's something important to say..or friends don't waste wine by drinking it all and completely confessing their dirtiest secrets to the one they love, just bc it's easier that way.
