| always ten feet tall is by far my favorite saves the day song. theres so much emotion in it like every other std song. i think its about being with someone who makes you feel so great and big inside. am I dreaming? is this really me? because I've never felt so not lonely and if this could be real right now then everyday for the rest of my life I will search for moments full of you | |

| LOL Yes, "Am I dreaming? Is this really me? Because I've never felt so not lonely and if this could be real right now then everyday for the rest of my life I will search for moments full of you" is also my fave line from this song. I love it because it is so honest. I too have been there where I've had someone so special in my life that it makes me wonder if it could be real and if I were dreaming. And if it were real, I'd want it to last forever. But sometimes even though the relationship is over, the memories of when you felt like you've finally found someone who understands you will never totally fade because they've touched that part of your soul and you two were able to make a connection. | |

| This song's about being with someone who makes you feel on top of the world I think, larger than life...ten feet tall. "sometimes the things you say just make me feel a different way" is an ingenious line. I saw Saves the Day opening for Green Day and Blink at the Pop Disaster tour, and I ahve to say they were the perfect band to open for Green Day. I hope Saves the Day will headline their own big tour in the near future, though they aren't THAT great of a live band. They're young, though, and sadly hardly heard of, so that is completely understandable. I think with mor eexperience they'll be a kickass live band, and anyway an opening band can't really talk to the crowd that much anyway so i guess it wasn't a good judge of them being a live band. but anyway awesome song, awesome band | |

| Mmm... this song is so good. It perfectly reflects having someone that just makes you feel so good you melt inside with every word they speak to you. Someone you'd do anything for. Someone you're so attached to that you don't know what you'd do if it ended. I love this song. I remember when they played it live the very first time I saw them live. I was hooked forever. I'm in love with Chris Conley's songwriting. I love him, he's such a beautiful person, inside and out. Once he told me he loves me. To the girl who said " I wish I was going to KFMA Day 3", don't feel too bad about missing it. I drove for hours on end to see them there, but their set wasn't very long as they weren't headlining. There were 25,000 people there! It was insane. There were only two people ahead of me during Saves the Day. I was the only person as far as I could see that knew the words to their songs and was singing along. Lots of people knew "At Your Funeral". It was hot as hell that day and there were too many kids there who don't know who STD is. I mean I'd put up with anything for Saves the Day, but don't feel too sad. | |

| am I dreaming? is this really me? because I've never felt so not lonely and if this could be real right now then everyday for the rest of my life I will search for moments full of you but let's hope tomorrow won't cave in 'cause I'm looking for someone to change me and you make me feel so tall- I always want to be this tall jeez, chris has one hell of a way with words, he can describe any emotion perfectly and just , i mean, jeez im at a loss for words wen i talk about chris or saves the day. when im feeling a certain way al i have to do is listen to saves the day and i know i'll find a song that will relate to exactly how im feeling. i would love to meet chris and spend a day or two with him and just see how he is and ask him about his songs and if their from personal experiences or what. im just in love with him and i wishhh i had him to sing me to sleep every night because his voice is incredible and so sexy. every one i ask who has listened to saves the day loves them. i dont kno one person whos heard of them and doesnt like them | |
