| this is such an awesome song..it's beautiful and perfectly describes the emotions of a crush...ur right, its really vivid and basically paints a picture of a guy who wants to tell a gurl the way he feels about her...but he can't express himself.."My lungs are so numb from holding back "..very good stuff | |

| 'Regret. Do try it once but then you know.' That's one of my favorite lyrics ever. It's like you love someone that doesn't love you back, but you still feel like you have to tell them. You'll regret it whether you tell them or not, so you figure you might as well go for it. "Take in restraint like a breath, my lungs are so numb from holding back." It's like you can't hold in your feelings any longer. I don't quite get the simple discourse part tho. Could someone explain that to me. | |

| The first time i heard this song it made no sense, but as i listened to it and read the lyrics it really hit home. To me i can see this guy sitting outside in the snow with a girl who is just a friend. They are really good friends and he wants to kiss her and tell her he wants more but doesn't know how to go about it... regret, do try it once but then you know its your move, settle for less again... thats basically saying that theres alot on the line by telling her and he doenst know how she will react. | |

| gawd-damn this is a great song. I think it speaks for it self. He's not sure. He doesn't know what to say to her. Restraining his feelings have become second nature. the song paints beautiful pictures in your mind. Excellent. | |

| "My lungs are so numb from holding back" "Simple discourse breaks you clean in half" These two lines hit closer to home that any other lyrics I've ever heard. | |

| this is one of my favorite JEW songs. i can identify with the lyrics completely. especially the line "Take in restraint like a breath. My lungs are so numb from holding back. " its the basic situation of wanting to do something about your feelings but holding back. i think i might heed the warning and not feel the regret. | |

| aymier, By "Simple discourse breaks you clean in half", I think he means that the usual small talk kills him inside. Have you ever fallen for a friend and just couldn't stand talking about regular stuff or (God forbid) the friend's love life? Makes you just want to scream the way you feel, doesn't it? | |

| This is my 2nd fave JEW song. I agree with gemini on how "my lungs are so numb from holding back" hits close to home... this is such a beautiful song. See it's songs like this that make me wanna smack all these girls Jim writes about cause damn, they go and break his heart! They all aggravate me! But alas, artists need inspiration... | |

| yes, this is a song that hits close to the heart for a good many. It captures the whole, well, crush emotion quite perfectly. 'take in restraint like a breath, my lungs are so numb from holding back' perfect. i could feel my entire being just bonding with those words when i first listened to this song. A great song in the line of amazing songs off of the best album that has ever had the chance of gracing my ears. | |
