***So I updated it and added something that sounds close to the pre chorus. I doubt it's
correct, but it's not too bad. If anyone has suggestions on what it is, comment the tab
I'll update it if it sounds better to me.***
* NO GUITAR *
I've got emotion
Dripping out my pores and I
Thought I would let you know
You are the night light,
Ripping through my wicked world
How you make it sparkle and glow,

No Picture DemolitionLover Wanna Be	#1 by DemolitionLover ^^v^^ at Sep 26, 2007 at 11:36 PM EST
	Definitely about coming clean from a drug addiction and having a person that's been there every time it was stated before that he was gonna come clean, but he's never fully committed to it before. But this time he's FOR REAL about it and is telling that person so. I mostly get the drug part from the whole "For a physical challenge I'm notoriously bored Intravenous delivery, Electrolytes and more Every time it's the same routine Out with the bad, In with the clean Before I lose all motor skills There's one thing you should know" Seeing as intravenous means through a vein or within a vein or whatever, I just picture someone shooting drugs. From the live version of the song, where that whole part wasn't so clear, what I got from the song was that he's REALLY in love with a girl. Which, I can still see that in the song, just related with drugs also.

No Picture Travis Wanna Be	#2 by Travis Alford at Sep 27, 2007 at 9:43 PM EST
	I got these lyrics from the 45 second clip in the latest webisode, and various live shows they played it at. When they play the full song (I'm assuming that will be this week's webisode) I'll update the lyrics. Awesome song.

No Picture scotty 2 hotty Rhythm Player	#3 by scotty 2 hotty at Sep 29, 2007 at 3:47 PM EST
	Supposedly this is going to be released digitally on the 7th on August.

No Picture Chuck Average	#4 by Chuck Norris at Oct 5, 2007 at 5:59 AM EST
	Mhm. =D Thanks for putting the lyrics up here!! Wow, you're awesome! This song is so incredibly beautiful..it's truly inspiring. I knew I'd love it the first time I heard those 45secs on that Even If It Kills Me webisode. =P Sadly, it hasn't been pirated yet, so you have to buy it on iTunes. (Haha) Or watch it here: http://www.spin.com/video/2007/07/motioncity_live/motioncity_live.html =]

No Picture Basstard Professional	#5 by Basstard at Oct 7, 2007 at 8:04 AM EST
	..Oh, and since the full song is actually out now, I thought I'd post my best shot at these lyrics.... I've got emotion Dripping out my pores and I Thought I would let you know You are the night light Ripping through my wicked world How you make it sparkle and glow. Before, I lose control, There's just one thing you should know This is for real, This time I mean it. I'm coming clean, Please don't let go. I said from the start That you could take it or leave it, Prefer that you keep it Don't let go, Don't let go, Don't let go. I had some nightmares Clawing at my skin and bones I nearly did explode. You smote the demons, (^^Or at least that's what makes the most sense. However, it could still be "smoked". I know, it's strange. But it wouldn't be the first time MCS has written some weird lyrics) Gave me back my feelings Now I am good to go. Before my face hits the floor There's just one thing you should know This is for real, This time I mean it. I'm coming clean, Please don't let go. I said from the start That you could take it or leave it, I prefer that you keep it Don't let go. This is the best thing I've ever had for real This is the best thing I've ever had for real For a physical challenge I'm victoriously...bored/born?? (^^I know, "wtf", right?? This is the ONE line I just don't understand/can't hear well enough...) Intravenous delivery, Electrolytes and more. Every time it's the same routine - Out with the bad, In with the clean. Before I lose all motor skills There's one thing you should know This is for real, This time I mean it. I'm coming clean, Please don't let go. I said from the start That you could take it or leave it, I prefer that you keep it Don't let go! This is the best thing that I've ever had for real This is the best thing that I've ever had for real This is the best thing that I've ever had for real This is the best thing that I've ever had for real =D ..But for the actual MEANING of the song... It's pretty obviously about Justin's drug addictions (again..lol). And having someone who's actually there for him, who wants him to get through it, who's there for him for everything. She SAVES him, and he's so thankful to have her in his life. He's saying that he can and will get through his problems with her by his side. Because SHE'S real, and the way his life is with drugs ISN'T. (That's my take on the whole "this is for real thing". Well, that and he's being honest this time. He's actually giving up his addictions. At least in the song) I think it's much easier to get the meaning once you have the last verse. (Or at least most of it. lol my bad)

No Picture NICK Wanna Be	#6 by NICK COGHLAN at Oct 8, 2007 at 12:33 AM EST

No Picture devon Average	#8 by devon at Oct 12, 2007 at 10:31 AM EST
	Ah. Thanks!! =] Hah. I can definitely hear the "notoriously bored" line now..that makes much more sense. (Feels like a complete idiot...)

No Picture The Penguins Tr Professional Badass	#9 by The Penguins Tried To Kill Me The Other Day at Oct 16, 2007 at 8:44 AM EST
	to xxpink, those lines you're questioning are: "You SMOKE the demons" and then "I'm notoriously bored" But yeah, definitely can see the drug addiction references.
