No - it is Lent damnit and no alcohol is consumed during Lent!!!!!!

What I was saying is the lyrics as they stand (kudos to www.nicksfix.com) are:

He fell for her again, she watched it happen
Every day-- day by day
But more important-- night by night
She watched it all come into play
He held her hands, she listened to what he had to say


Thrown down... like a barricade
Maybe now he could prove to her
That he could be good for her
And they should be together


You've shaken your faith in me, no
You've shaken my faith in everything else
A decision no one makes, and now you're going home
Faith is a hard thing to hold on to
Something inside you says I don't have to
You're not like other people, you do what you want to
You're not like other people, you do what you want to


Thrown down... like a barricade
Maybe now he could prove to her
That he could be good for her
And they should be together


You say you're sorry...
Now you should walk away
But it's so overwhelming,
You have nothing left to say
You can sit outside his door and wait
Well, you can dedicate your pain to him


Oh, thrown down... like a barricade
Maybe now he could prove to her
That he could be good for her
And they should be together
About just how much he never really told her...
Thrown down...
About how difficult it had been to be without her...
Thrown down...

I am just saying she switches twice from using "he" to using "you." The first time she is talking to LB and the second time she is talking to herself. I think it works better that way. Also, I am unsure if it is incorrect in that it is a poem and she is switching persons to covey a different point. Switching persons in this context is not completely against the rules is it :shurg: If so, lots of poets are guilty

I just like it the way it is and think using he instead of you would not work as well.
