| "You walk across the stage, take a bow, hear the applause, and as the curtain falls, just know you did it all the best you knew how and you can hear them cheering now." This song means a lot to me, for I am about to graduate high school and I have been in theater for 4 years, and I am leaving. It really sums my experience up nicely. | |

| this song is about a guy who sees lots of problems in his current relationship hence the "tonight will be the night that we begin to ease the plugs out of the dam" and he's planning on working out those problems, sink or float, and their legs quivering when the water is rising from the dam is their fear of losing each other and they just let go to see how things work, them floating on their back is them traveling through life and the rocks scraping their backs is the problems in the relationship that are happening on a regular basis, and he feels like the relationship is hollow and has no substance to it so the air is the only thing that they share, and yada yada yada, the second half of the song is about life in general, the vessel floating down water ways is you going through life and shtuff, the actor on stage is representation of life also and coming out at the end of the "play" and taking a bow cuz you know you lived it well is the person at the end of their life looking at their accomplishments and being proud of what they did in life, that's my interpretation of this song, this song is by far the best song that chris has ever written, if i ever met the guy i'd like pay for him a nice ass dinner or something just to congratulate him on writin gthis song, this song frickin rocks. | |

| WOW...what can i say that hasnt already been said? This song is beautiful in all the ways that a song can be. I put this one in category: "songs that can save you" because this song has helped me in so many ways, just listening to it is a reminder of how great life is. This song has kept me looking forward when all i wanted to do was look behind me. On late nights i spend on the computer, i can feel so empty insided, I listen to this song to cleanse myself of all those meaningless superficial moments in life. "lick the blood off with our tongues" reminds me that even when life sucks, embrace it with everything in you, because life is so awesome, and pain is just a reminder that we're alive! Thanks Chris, for this song, and thanks other fans, for recognize that beauty | |

| this is one of my favorite saves the day songs! the lyrics are so... eek! i can't even describe them! i really love the end- "You walk across the stage, take a bow, hear the applause, and as the curtain falls, just know you did it all the best you knew how and you can hear them cheering now. So let a smile out and show your teeth cause you know you lived it well." ahhh- so great. i know i'm living it well. | |
