Lyrics below:
"There's no one in town i know
You gave us someplace to go
I never said thank you for that
Thought i might get one more chance
What would you think of me now?
so lucky
so strong
so proud
never said thank you for that
now i'll never have a chance
May angels lead you in
hear you me my friends
on sleepless roads the sleepless go
may angels lead you in
What would you think of me now?
so lucky
so strong
so proud
never said thank you for that
now i'll never have a chance
May angels lead you in
hear you me my friends
on sleepless roads the sleepless go
may angels lead you in
If you were with me tonight
i'd sing to you just one more time
a song for a heart so big god wouldn't let it live
May angels lead you in
hear you me my friends
on sleepless roads the sleepless go
may angels lead you in
May angels lead you in
hear you me my friends
on sleepless roads the sleepless go
may angels lead you in"
There's something about this song that always makes me want to cry. The first time I heard this song was in the film, 'A Cinderella Story'. This is a sad song that allows me to reflect on deaths that have occured throughout my life. Although it is slightly depressing, I love the lyrics and music, which make htis song special.
I have done some research on this song and found that this song had been dedicated to Mykel and Carli, two people who had started the Weezer fan club in 1994 and passed away after a car accident in 1997. They had not only helped out Weezer, but many other bands, including 'Jimmy Eat World'. They were known to be kind to all and offered shelter to passing bands.
I think this song is about the death of a loved one and not getting a chance to say thank them for all they had done. It's also about not being able to say goodbye, but wishing them to be in a better place (heaven). It's a beautiful song that I would request to be played at my funeral.
Hear you me-Jimmy Eat World
