Midtown - So Long As We Keep Our Bodies Numb We're Safe Lyrics






It's what you want
It's your amphetamine
Another night you're settling
For comfort in your bed

The more you fill
The more you're empty
You're never what you should be
Here is why you're sad

You're miserable
When he is close
So take another drink
Another drink will numb those senses

And make the most
Of flesh and bones
If it helps you
Fall asleep

I'm watching you change
It doesn't have to be this way
It gets harder everyday
So you keep numb to feel safe

Fuck what you know
Can't you see its shallow?
Every time you swallow-
Do you get a taste of what you've become?

Regrets, they wake you in the morning
You shower but you're not clean
Please just listen

I still remember the days
When you didn't feel the need to escape
And every demon you never face
Is the reason you're not safe

Please understand that you've had every chance
You've had all the time
All the time in the world

You don't listen

  1. W.... C....

    You don't listen

  2. T.... ....

    I come back to this song 7 years later and still damn near cry everytime...brings me back to my PS2 days and how this song kept me pushing

  3. W.... C....

    This song has been a fav of mine since it came out! Only realized it's about quitting alcohol after I quit for a few months hah

  4. K.... G....

    Maldición q buen temazoo.. dios

    K.... G....

    K.... G....

    Es perfecto este tema..
    Varios del disco..
    Un duro ese vocalista..
    Actualmente cambio el stilo..

  5. W.... R....

    Thank god someone has a short one uploaded. The extended cut is completely unnecessary and whoever's idea that was oughta be kicked right in the nuts.

    W.... R....

    I enjoy it haha, I've listened to it so many times I can even point out all the subtle nuances. I used to play it over and over to annoy my friends, about 9 years ago though.

  6. S.... ....

    ATV Offroad fury 3, hell yeah.

  7. S.... K....

    야 어후... 씨발~~~~~~~~~~

  8. S.... B....

    These guys, Taking Back Sunday and Brand New are some of the best in my opinion. Midtown deserved more love.

  9. J.... r....

    I FEEL GREAT.

  10. B.... ....

    The full 13 minute version of this is on Spotify and I think something is wrong with me because I listen to the full song every time. I never skip it. I listen to literally 10 minute of Gabe Saporta saying "you don't listen."

    B.... ....

    Sameee😂

    B.... ....

    lol talk about rubbing it in he d seriously t telling somebody that they don't listen...

    B.... ....

    i love the part, recently ive been using it to fall asleep too! lol

  11. M.... ....

    ATV offroad fury 3 had the best soundtrack

  12. R.... T....

    I love this song:) FUCK WHAT YOU KNOW!

  13. T.... ....

    SO TAKE ANOTHER SHIT, ANOTHER SHIT WILL NUMB THOSE SENSES

  14. S.... ....

    See, the thing about Offroad Fury that sort of annoyed me is that some of the songs would be censored. That, and this song in the game glitches once. ...I guess I'm jus' being rather stingy, but after so many times of listening to the song in the game, it started to annoy me, especially since it was one of my favorites.

    Thanks for uploading this, PannnaSaporta. I'm finally able to listen to it as it was supposed to be listened to. Even better is that last segment of the song I never heard.

  15. C.... C....

    nice !!!!!!

  16. W.... R....

    I love this song, but I never listen to the full song because of a million minutes of the same thing! XD

  17. C.... ....

  18. C.... ....

    Amen! :D

  19. M.... ....

  27. w.... b....

    This was before Cobra Starshit...

  28. N.... R....

    @jqw1295 Fuck sounds better, I'd deffo sing that instead of forget if I covered it, but that,s just my opinion :)

  29. J.... ....

    i think everyone has the lyrics wrong! i mean it sounds more like forget what ya know! plus its the name of the album (forget what ya know) just listen to it over and u can kinda see y iit says forget what ya know

    J.... ....

    Jacob The Great i think that this is a game of words, I can hear a forget what you know too, but, it sounds more like fuck what you know.

  30. N.... R....

    Fuck what ya know!

  31. M.... S....

    yea i love gabe hes sorted

  32. N.... C....

    midtown is soooo much better then cobra starship. i cant even listen to "good girls go bad" without gagging.

    <3 midtown forever

  33. r.... ....

    I love this song so fucking much. I love Midtown. And I love Cobra Starship too - in an entirely different way. You can't really compare the two. Yeah they are fronted by the same guy, but they're two completely different sounds.

  34. D.... S....

    I agree. This and Goodbye Sky Harbor are two of my favorite all-time songs BECAUSE of the long parts.

  35. j.... ....

    I know that's absolutely ridiculous, makes me think some of the other members of Midtown were writing the lyrics.

  36. K.... G....

    fuck what you know!!!!

  37. M.... ....

    I had no idea that Midtown and Cobra Starship were fronted by the same guy, but I 'm not a huge fan of either band. I do like Midtown better though.

  38. A.... K....

    i love when he says "flesh and bones" haha

  39. A.... K....

    hahah same here xD

  40. z.... k....
