A Box Full Of Sharp Objects Lyrics


It's our time to shine through the down
Glorified by what is ours
We've fallen in love
It was the best idea I ever had

Today I fell and felt better
Just knowing this matters
I just feel stronger and sharper
Found a box of sharp objects what a beautiful thing

Do you want a song of glory
Well I'm fucking screaming at you

A Box Full Of Sharp Objects
  • Various quotes from The Used regarding this song: "This is the song that first attracted John Feldmann to our band. We were sending him mp3s of our songs as we wrote them. This is the one that really stood out to him and made him decide to produce our band."
    "This is a song about being proud of what we were doing for once and and loving music to the fullest. The idea actually came from some sheet music. A box full of sharp objects represents a measure of time on paper with quarter notes. We all thought that it was a very strong metaphor."
    "It's the song that we really realized that working together and having the different influences we all have could work really good for us."
    "We played it at our first show ever back in Provo and we had 3 ballerinas dancing on stage during it. It was beautiful, they were all in black and had pale face makeup on. it was amazing, but some of the kids didn't seem to really get it."
  • The Used bassist Jeph Howard tells us that "A Box Full of Sharp Objects" is probably his favorite song by the band. Howard explains: "It's still a pretty strong song. I think it's just the mental area we were in during that first record. It's like it was experimental."
  • Along with "Buried Myself Alive," this is one of the early songs The Used continued to play in their live shows 10 years later. The decision on what songs to include in the shows is difficult for the band. Bassist Jeph Howard says: "It's kind of hard when you're touring and you only play a certain amount of time. You only get like an hour and a half and sometimes like a half hour. Trying to throw in five and a half records into that gets a little difficult."

    Songbird Lyrics


    Talking to the Songbird yesterday
    Flew me to a past not far away
    She's a little pirate in my mind
    Singing songs of love to pass the time

    Gonna write a song so she can see
    Give her all the love she gives to me
    Talk of better days that have yet to come
    Never felt this love from anyone

    She's not anyone
    She's not anyone
    She's not anyone

    A man can never dream these kind of things
    Especially when she came and spread her wings
    Whispered in my ear the things I'd like
    Then she flew away into the night

    Gonna write a song so she can see
    Give her all the love she gives to me
    Talk of better days that have yet to come
    Never felt this love from anyone

    She's not anyone
    She's not anyone
    She's not anyone

    Underneath It All Lyrics


    There's times where I want something more
    Someone more like me
    There's times when this dress rehearsal
    Seems incomplete
    But, you see the colors in me like no one else
    And behind your dark glasses you're
    You're something else

    You're really lovely
    Underneath It All
    You want to love me
    Underneath it all
    I'm really lucky
    Underneath it all
    You're really lovely

    You know some real bad tricks
    And you need some discipline
    But, lately you've been trying real hard
    And giving me your best
    And, you give me the most gorgeous sleep
    That I've ever had
    And when it's really bad
    I guess it's not that bad

    You're really lovely
    Underneath it all
    You want to love me
    Underneath it all
    I'm really lucky
    Underneath it all
    You're really lovely

    So many moons that we have seen
    Stumbling back next to me
    I've seen right through and underneath
    And you make me better
    I've seen right through and underneath
    And you make me better
    Better better

    You are my real Prince Charmin'
    Like the heat from the fire
    You were always burnin'
    And each time you're around
    My body keeps callin
    For your touch
    Your kisses and your sweet romancin'
    There's an underside to you
    that this here woman that adore
    Aside from your temper
    Everything is secure
    You're good for me, baby
    of that, I'm sure
    Over and over again
    I want more

    You've used up all your coupons
    And all you've got left is me
    And somehow I'm full of forgiveness
    I guess it's meant to be

    You're really lovely
    Underneath it all
    You want to love me
    Underneath it all
    I'm really lucky
    Underneath it all
    You're really lovely

    You're really lovely
    Underneath it all
    You want to love me
    Underneath it all
    I'm really lovely
    Underneath it all
    And you're really lovely

    Underneath It All
  • No Doubt lead singer Gwen Stefani wrote this with Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame. They were introduced by Jimmy Iovine, who is good friends with Stewart and chairman of Interscope, which is No Doubt's label. The band came over to Stewart's apartment in London, and he and Gwen went to the kitchen with their acoustic guitars and completed the song in about 15 minutes. Stewart wrote of Stefani in The Dave Stewart Songbook : "She really has great melodic sensibility and uses her subconscious to express herself lyrically. She sings freeform stream-of-consciousness at first but there are always words that appear to be coming from an emotional place. She then quickly understands what she wants to say and it all falls into place. 'Underneath It All' was an example of this and I saw it happen in real time right there in my kitchen."
  • In our interview with Dave Stewart, he spoke about the difference between writing with his Eurythmics partner Annie Lennox, and writing with Stefani, who he had just met. Says Stewart: "Well, it's kind of weird. Because if I walk into a room to write with Gwen, Gwen comes with a lot of stuff attached to her, and I also come into a room with that. So the first 15 minutes usually is getting past that stuff. And then very quickly, and usually due to a certain courtship, you know like how a certain chord can change the temperature in a room? It evokes a certain emotion in me or in Gwen, and then it'll suddenly make us think about something that happened in her life, and something that she might want to talk about, something she might not want to talk about, but you can kind of hear what it is in the lyric and the melody. And soon, within an hour and a half it's as if you've known that person for years. And often, then, people start talking about all their private thoughts, and everything that's going on in their life usually comes rolling out."
  • In a 2002 interview in Rolling Stone, Stefani explained that her lyrics were inspired by her relationship with Gavin Rossdale of the band Bush, who she was madly in love with and later married. They spent some time in a part the previous day, and Stefani wrote in her journal: "You're lovely underneath it all."
  • Gwen Stefani and Dave Stewart hadn't met before the day they wrote this song, but they had a lot in common and bonded quickly. They both had intimate relationships with a band member who they broke up with, but continued working with: Stewart with Annie Lennox and Stefani with No Doubt bass player Tony Kanal. They share a love of Jamaican music, and are big fans of Sophie Muller, who has directed videos for Eurythmics and No Doubt.
  • This track features a rap by the Jamaican Dancehall deejay Lady Saw. In 2003 she became the first female deejay to win a Grammy when this won the Grammy for Best Performance by a Duo or Group with a Vocal.
  • Sophie Muller, who directed the video, wanted to show what Stefani was like "underneath it all." She explained to Music Video Wire : "She started off with tons of make-up and hair, kind of really over done like a stripper. As the video proceeds she loses her make up and at the end the make up and overdone look is gone. The idea was stripping back to being your simple self. We had to do it using visual metaphors. She was going to be talking her clothes off, but that made it too complicated. Instead we made it into sections where in each section she was less made up."

    Muller enlisted the directing collaborative Logan to create special effects, like the band riding bicycles in Jamaica as a nod to Lady Saw's influence.

    Oops (Oh My) Lyrics


    I'll tell ya what I did last night
    I came home, say around a quarter to three
    Still so high, hypnotized
    In a trance, from his body
    So buttery brown and tantalizing
    You would have thought I needed help
    With the feeling that I felt
    So shook I had to catch my breath

    Oops! There goes my shirt up over my head, oh my
    Oops! There goes my skirt droppin' to my feet, oh my
    Oh! Some kind of touch caressing my legs, oh my
    Oh! I'm turnin' red who could this be

    I tried and I tried to avoid
    But this thing was happening
    Swallow my pride, let it ride
    And parted, but this body felt just like mine
    I got worried
    I looked over to the left
    A reflection of myself
    That's why I couldn't catch my breath

    Oops! There goes my shirt up over my head, oh my
    Oops! There goes my skirt droppin' to my feet, oh my
    Oh! Some kind of touch caressing my legs, oh my
    Oh! I'm turnin' red who could this be

    I looked over to my left
    Mmm, I was lookin' so good I couldn't reject myself
    I looked over to my left
    Mmm, I was feelin' so good I had to touch myself
    I looked over to the left
    Mmm, I was eyein' my thighs, butter pecan brown
    I looked over to the left
    Mmm, Coming out of my shirt and then my skirt came down

    Oops! There goes my shirt up over my head, oh my
    Oops! There goes my skirt droppin' to my feet, oh my
    Oh! Some kind of touch caressing my legs, oh my
    Oh! I'm turnin' red who could this be

    Oops! There goes my shirt up over my head, oh my
    Oops! There goes my skirt droppin' to my feet, oh my
    Oh! Some kind of touch caressing my legs, oh my
    Oh! I'm turnin' red who could this be

    Oops (Oh My)
  • This song was written by Missy Elliott and she makes an appearance in the Cameron Casey-directed video. With a combination of sculpted styrofoam and fog machines, the icy clip was modeled after Sweden's famous Icehotel. The hotel, the first of its kind, is rebuilt each year out of snow and ice in the village of Jukkasjärvi.
  • The song is about masturbation. She pleasures herself after coming home from a club.

    Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough For The Two Of Us Lyrics


    Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough For The Two Of Us
  • This is about a guy deciding that a fake life with a woman is leading him nowhere and he wants to cut it off. Despite the fact that he seems popular being with this woman and she wants him, he is drinking, they fight, and all of his friends are fake. It is a song about not selling out for the high life.
  • There are some drug references in this song, such as "Eating breakfast on a mirror," which implies doing cocaine after waking up. The controlling girlfriend doesn't want the singer to do them, and he resists.
  • More lyric interpretation:
    "The amount of pills I'm taking, counteracts the booze I'm drinking, And this vanity I'm breaking lets me live my life like this" - He's doing many things at once. The "vanity" could have a double meaning, literally it's a piece of furniture but it could also indicate how self-absorbed he is.

    "And you can cry all you want to, I don't care how much." - He doesn't care how much she cries and begs him to stop using drugs, he won't stop so she might as well give up.

    Cubicles Lyrics


    Cubicles
  • This song is about a guy (most likely a nerdy, self-conscious guy), who falls in love with a girl who works a few cubicles down from him in an office, but she leaves and his world falls apart. The whole CD has a lot to do with classic movie plots, with themes of vampires, zombies, office romance and lovers running from the law together.
  • This song is about rejection, but it's framed in the context of everyday office life. He writes love notes to a girl every day, but never has the nerve to give them to her, so tears them up and throws them out of the window. Then eventually, she switches jobs, and he says that whoever takes her place in her cubicle, it will only be a temporary stand in for her. And he starts to think that he's never going to meet anyone and he'll die alone. He Imagines things that they could have done together, that he knows that they will never do because he would never talk to her. It's about loving someone that you see regularly, but they don't even realize you exist.

  • At a concert, The Reverend explained that this song is about a real band called The Loco Gringos that used to play in California. They had a lot of character, and would literally bring "5 bales of hay" to decorate the set; they cruised town in a "Cadillac Hearse" and had a tour bus painted like the Mexican flag; they lived in a house they called "Gringo Manor;" and there was a guy who would sell corndogs at their shows, which explains the line, "Hey there, Pablo, whatcha got in the bag?"

    How do you get your sleep at night?
    How did you get your noose so tight?
    Like chewing on tinfoil, it's so much fun
    Gonna be dead before your gone

    Cause look how things have gotten
    And I'll be happy so I won't pretend
    And I'll be cheering that you're going down
    And I'll be laughing, I'll be laughing

    How many feelings can you steal?
    Gotta be part of your appeal
    I can see through you cause you're wearing thin
    Like chewing on tinfoil once again

    Ha Ha You're Dead
    And I'm so happy
    In loving memory
    Of your demise

    When your ship is going down
    I'll go out and paint the town
    Ha ha you're dead
    Ha ha you're dead
    Ha ha you're dead

    (ha ha ha)

    Ha ha you're dead
    The joke is over
    You were an asshole
    And now you're gone
    As your ship is going down
    I'll stand by and watch you drown

    Ha ha you're dead
    You're gonna be dead
    Just remember what I said
    Ha ha you're dead
    Ha ha you're dead
    Ha ha you're dead

    I'm Just A Kid Lyrics


    I woke up it was 7
    I waited 'til 11
    To figure out that no one would call
    I think I got a lot of friends
    But I don't hear from them
    What's another night all alone
    When you're spending every day on your own
    And here it goes

    I'm Just A Kid
    And life is a nightmare
    I'm just a kid
    I know that it's not fair
    Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone
    And the world is
    Having more fun then me
    Tonight

    And maybe when the night is dead
    I'll crawl into my bed
    I'm staring at these four walls again
    I'll try to think about the last time
    I had a good time
    Everyone's got somewhere to go
    And they're gonna leave me here on my own
    And here it goes

    I'm just a kid
    And life is a nightmare
    I'm just a kid
    I know that it's not fair
    Nobody cares
    'Cause I'm alone and the world is
    Having more fun than me

    What the hell is wrong with me
    Don't fit in with anybody
    How did this happen to me?
    Wide awake I'm bored and
    I can't fall asleep
    And every night is the worst night ever

    I'm just a kid
    I'm just a kid
    I'm just a kid (I'm just a kid)
    Yeah, I'm just a kid (I'm just a kid)
    I'm just a kid (I'm just a kid)

    I'm just a kid
    And life is a nightmare
    I'm just a kid
    I know that its not fair
    Nobody cares
    'Cause I'm alone and the world is
    Nobody wants to be alone in the world

    I'm just a kid
    And all life is a nightmare
    I'm just a kid
    I know that its not fair
    Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone and the world is
    Nobody wants to be alone in the world
    Nobody cares 'cause I'm alone
    And the world is
    Having more fun than me

    Tonight
    I'm all alone
    Tonight
    Nobody cares
    Tonight
    'Cause I'm just a kid tonight

    Alone I Break Lyrics


    Pick me up
    Been bleeding too long
    Right here, right now
    I'll stop it some how

    I will make it go away
    Can't be here no more
    Seems this is the only way
    I will soon be gone
    These feelings will be gone
    These feelings will be gone

    Now I see the times they change
    Leaving doesn't seems so strange
    I am hoping I can find
    Where to leave my hurt behind
    All this shit I seem to take
    All alone I seem to break
    I have lived the best I can
    Does this make me not a man?

    Shut me off
    I am ready,
    Heart stops
    I stand alone
    Can't be on my own

    I will make it go away
    Can't be here no more
    Seems this is the only way
    I will soon be gone
    These feelings will be gone
    These feelings will be gone

    Now I see the times they change
    Leaving doesn't seems so strange
    I am hoping I can find
    Where to leave my hurt behind
    All this shit I seem to take
    All alone I seem to break
    I have lived the best I can
    Does this make me not a man?

    Am I going to leave this place?
    What is it I'm hanging from?
    Is there nothing more to come? (am I gonna leave this place?)
    Is it always black in space?
    Am I going to take it's place?
    Am I going to leave this race? (Am I going to leave this race?)
    I guess god's up in this place?
    What is it that I've become?
    Is there something more to come? (more to come)

    Now I see the times they change
    Leaving doesn't seems so strange
    I am hoping I can find
    Where to leave my hurt behind
    All this shit I seem to take
    All alone I seem to break
    I have lived the best I can
    Does this make me not a man?

    Alone I Break
  • This is about being trapped, unable to cope, unable to release that which is like a poison inside. Trying so hard, and yet nothing changes. A wanting to escape, and then doing so, and when that person does escape, broken and confused, reality itself has become so far away that it makes little difference. Alone and falling from grace, with no one to reach out a hand to save that person.

    Sunday Drive Lyrics


    And we wait above a road.
    We're turning to go home.
    And the silence from the side of the car,
    Tells me everything and how we are.
    'Cause there's no more trying to make this so right.
    There's no more trying tonight.

    And you know it's not so easy when
    You're all alone,
    And I wonder if I'm alone
    In your head.

    I know something is wrong,
    I just don't know what to do.
    You say it's only me, and that I'm so perfect for you.
    I don't want to try no more,
    I don't want to make this right.
    I just want you to be true to me one time.

    And you know it's not so easy when
    You're all alone,
    And I wonder if I'm alone
    In your head.

    Twelve days gone by since I have saw you last,
    I'll give this one more try,
    I'll give it all my best, and I'll ask
    What could you be doing that is so much fun?
    Without me by your side,
    Without me by your side.
    And I will take a step back, and I'll let you ahead,
    And I will take a step away, and see if you come back,
    Because there's no more trying to make this so right,
    There's no more trying,
    There's no more trying tonight.

    We'll never be the same,
    We will never be the same,
    We will never be the same,
    We will never be the same,
    Until you're done.

    Came to take us away
    Little men
    Big guns
    Pointed at our heads

    Seven a.m. morning
    Came to take us away
    Little men
    Big guns
    Pointed at our heads
    At our
    At our heads

    Your prospect of living gone
    You ran the light at dawn
    Protectors on your back
    Lights are on their track

    You must now face authority
    You're nothing like me
    You must now face authority
    You're nothing like me

    Put your hands up
    Get out of the car
    Put your hands up
    Get out of the car
    Put your hands up
    Get out of the car

    Fuck
    Fuck you pig
    Fuck
    Fuck you pig
    Fuck
    Fuck you pig
    Fuck
    Fuck you pig
    Put your hands up
    Get out of the car

    Mr. Jack
  • This song is about a drug dealer known as "Mr. Jack," and where his lifestyle has landed him: on the side of the freeway in the car, surrounded by cops, most likely after running from the little men pointing big guns at his head at 7 a.m. This is probably the "cause of your surprise" mentioned in the first verse.
  • It was originally titled "P.I.G."

    Long Ride Home Lyrics


    Long black limousine
    Shiniest car I've ever seen
    The back seat is nice and clean
    She rides as quiet as a dream
    Someone dug a hole six long feet in the ground
    I said goodbye to you and I threw my roses down
    Ain't nothing left at all in the end of being proud
    With me riding in a race car, and you flying through the clouds

    I've had some time to think about you
    And watch the sun sink like a stone
    I've had some time to think about you
    On the Long Ride Home

    One day I took your tiny hand
    Put your finger in the wedding band
    Your daddy gave a piece of land
    We laid ourselves the best of plans
    Forty years go by with someone laying in your bed
    Forty years of things you wish you'd never said
    How hard would it have been to say some kinder words instead
    I wonder as I stare up at the sky turning red

    I've had some time to think about you
    And watch the sun sink like a stone
    I've had some time to think about you
    On the long ride home

    Headlights staring at the driveway
    The house is dark as it can be
    I go inside and all is silent
    It seems as empty as the inside of me

    I've had some time to think about you
    And watch the sun sink like a stone
    I've had some time to think about you
    On the long, on the long
    Oh the long, on the long
    On the long ride home

    Long Ride Home
  • Patty Griffin wrote this emotional song, which has become a big hit among her fans. It is very sad and ignites a great amount of emotion in the listener. The song is written from the view of someone who has just left a funeral, and throughout the song, discusses the long ride home that they have to take after having to bury their spouse of 40 years.
  • Throughout the song, it is never made clear if it is the man or woman singing the words. It sort of hints that it is from the man's perspective, but the ambiguousness of the song is also what makes it up for the listener's interpretation. The line "One day I took your tiny hand" also seems to make sense only from a man.
  • This appeared on Griffin's third album 1000 Kisses, which was released on Dave Matthews' record label. It was her first album to chart, reaching #101 in the US and earning Griffin accolades for her vocal range and songwriting skills.
  • "I bought a guitar in Nashville in 1995, was sitting in my former manager's kitchen and it came right out of my guitar," Griffin told Nu Country TV when referring to this song.
  • This song was the musical focus of the 2005 film Elizabethtown, which was directed by Cameron Crowe. In the film, the song is used to describe the return of the main character from Los Angeles to Kentucky. Crowe found the song from Dave Marsh, his friend who was a music writer for Rolling Stone and a big fan of Griffin's.
  • The Irish folk singer Maura O'Connell recorded this song on her 2006 album Walls and Windows.
  • 1000 Kisses features a variety of themes, but it does seem to concentrate on the stories of particular people and comes from a specific point of view. It features a song called "Chief," which she wrote about a Native American chief, and a popular cover of Bruce Springsteen's song "Stolen Car," originally featured on his album The River.

    A Rush Of Blood To The Head Lyrics


    He said I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down
    I'm gonna put it six feet underground
    He said I'm gonna buy this place and watch it fall
    Stand here beside me baby in the crumbling walls
    Oh I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire
    Stand here until I fill all your heart's desires
    Because I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn
    Do back the things it did to you in return

    Ah, ah, ah
    Ah, ah, ah

    He said I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
    If you can tell me something worth fighting for
    Oh and I'm gonna buy this place, that's what I said
    Blame it upon A Rush Of Blood To The Head

    And honey all the movements you're starting to make
    See me crumble and fall on my face
    And I know the mistakes that I made
    See it all disappear without a trace
    And they call as they beckon you on
    They said start as you mean to go on
    Start as you mean to go on

    He said I'm gonna buy this place and see it go
    Stand here beside my baby watch the orange glow
    Some'll laugh and some just sit and cry
    You just sit down there and you wonder why
    So I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
    If you can tell me something worth fighting for
    And I'm gonna buy this place, that's what I said
    Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head
    Oh to the head

    And honey all the movements you're starting to make
    See me crumble and fall on my face
    And I know the mistakes that I made
    See it all disappear without a trace
    And they call as they beckon you on
    They say start as you mean to go on
    As you mean to go on, as you mean to go on

    So meet me by the bridge, meet me by the lane
    When am I gonna see that pretty face again
    Meet me on the road, meet me where I said
    Blame it all upon
    A rush of blood to the head

    Every time I'm falling down
    You take the repercussions
    Headaches and anxieties
    Advancing my frustrations

    Rush into my depression
    Sacrifice everything
    Waste with me into nothing
    Well now you're stuck with me

    Hand up your soul to my wrist
    And I'll vow my trust to you
    Moving on and I always thought
    I realized you've imagined
    You take the repercussions
    Headaches and anxieties
    Advancing my frustrations

    Rush into my depression
    Sacrifice everything
    Waste with me into nothing
    Well now you're stuck with me

    Hand up your soul to my wrist
    And I'll vow my trust to you
    Moving on and I always thought
    I realized you've imagined

    Do Da Da
  • This was originally called "Stuck with me," as those lyrics are repeated in the song. However, there was a mix-up while naming songs, and a song on the album Insomniac was given that name by accident. They decided that it suited that song better, so this one got the nonsense name "Do Da Da."

    Must Get Out Lyrics


    I've been the needle and the thread
    Weaving figure eights and circles around your head
    I try to laugh but cry instead
    Patiently wait to hear the words you've never said

    Fumbling through your dresser drawer
    Forgot what I was looking for
    Try to guide me in the right direction
    Making use of all this time
    Keeping everything inside
    Close my eyes and listen to you cry

    [Chorus]
    I'm lifting you up
    I'm letting you down
    I'm dancing till dawn
    I'm fooling around
    I'm not giving up
    I'm making your love
    This city's made us crazy and we Must Get Out

    "This is not goodbye," she said,
    "It's just time for me to rest my head."
    She does not walk, she runs instead
    Down these jagged streets and into my bed

    When I was fumbling through your dresser drawer
    Forgot what I was looking for
    Try to guide me in the right direction
    Making use of all this time
    Keeping everything inside
    Close my eyes and listen to you cry

    [Chorus]

    There's only so much I can do for you
    After all of the things you've put me through

    [Chorus]

    Luv Is A Verb Lyrics


    [Take this... for a ride]

    Down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk
    Are you down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk

    Pullin' out my big black book
    Cause when I need a word defined that's where I look
    So I move to the L's quick, fast, in a hurry
    Threw on my specs, thought my vision was blurry
    I looked again but to my dismay
    It was black and white with no room for grey
    Ya see, a big "V" stood beyond my word
    And yo that's when it hit me, that Luv Is A Verb

    (chorus 1)
    Words come easy but don't mean much
    When the words they're sayin' we can't put trust in
    We're talkin' 'bout love in a different light
    And if we all learn to love it would be just right

    (chorus 2)
    Hey, tell me haven't ya heard?
    Luv, is a serious word
    Hey, I think it's time ya learned
    I don't care what they say
    I don't care care what ya heard
    The word luv, luv is a verb

    Down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk
    Are you down with the dc Talk, d- d- down with the dc Talk

    Thinkin' of a way to explain-o
    Cause ya' know when I'm flowin' like a bottle of Drain-o
    Simple and plain, L-O-V-E
    Ain't all that junk that ya see on TV
    Put soaps on a rope cause they ain't worth copin' with
    It's a myth that there ain't no hope and
    Luv is enough if it's unconditionally
    Givin' now you're living out the Great Commission

    (repeat choruses 1 and 2)

    Back in the day there was a man
    Who stepped out of Heaven and he walked the land
    He delivered to the people an eternal choice
    With a heart full of luv and the truth in His voice
    Gave up His life so that we may live
    How much more luv could the Son of God give?
    Here is the example that we oughtta be matchin'
    Cause luv is a word that requires some action

    (repeat chorus 1)

    (repeat chorus 2 x4)

    Luv Is A Verb
  • This song explains in very simple and obvious terms how love requires actions rather than just words. The first few verses are just trying to get the words together to explain it, but then in the final verses Jesus is used as the role model and example for love, typified by the words: "How much more love can the Son God give." Jesus displayed the ultimate love by dying on the cross, and we should show Jesus' love to others by actions.

    Hard Candy Lyrics


    On certain Sundays in November
    When the weather bothers me
    I empty drawers of other summers
    Where my shadows used to be
    And she is standing by the water
    As her smile begins to curl
    In this or any other summer
    She is something altogether different
    Never just an ordinary girl

    And in the evenings on Long Island
    When the colors start to fade
    She wears a silly yellow hat
    That someone gave her when she stayed
    I didn't think that she returned it
    We left New York in a whirl
    Time expands and then contracts
    When you are spinning in the grip of someone
    Who is not an ordinary girl

    And when you sleep you find your mother in the night
    But she stays just out of sight
    So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming
    And when you wake the morning covers you with light
    And it makes you feel alright
    But it's just the same Hard Candy you're
    remembering again

    You send your lover off to China
    And you wait for her to call
    You put your girl up on a pedestal
    Then you wait for her to fall
    I put my summers back in a letter
    And I hide it from the world
    All the regrets you can't forget
    Are somehow pressed upon a picture
    In the face of such an ordinary girl

    And when you sleep you find your mother in the night
    But she fades just out of sight
    So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming
    And when you wake
    The morning showers you with light
    And it makes you feel alright
    But it's just the same hard candy you're
    remembering again

    Hard Candy
  • The "Candy" represents the girl, and it's "Hardy Candy" because she is hard-to-get. It's described how the whole world changes when around this girl. The whole world spins because this girl is so extraordinary.
  • When the mother is talked about, it is could refer to how there is a bit of his mother (which "Stays just out of sight") in this girl, and when you see your mother's love displayed in this girl it makes everything all right again.
