Jack's Mannequin - I'm Ready Lyrics






(And today was a day just like any other)

I'm on the verge, I'm on the verge
Unraveling with every word
With every word you say, make me believe
That I won't feel your tires on the street
As I'm finding the words... you're getting away

I come undone, oh yes, I do
Just think of all the thoughts wasted on you
And every word you say, say something sweet
Cause all I taste is blood between my teeth
As I'm finding the words... you're getting away

Well I'm ready, I'm ready to drop
Oh, I'm ready, I'm ready so don't stop
I'm ready so don't stop, Keep pushing
I'm ready to fall, oh, I'm ready
I'm ready so don't call, I'm ready so don't call

I am aware, I've been misled
I disconnect my heart, my head
Don't wanna recognize when things go bad
The things that you'll accept
Except that I am finding the words... to say

I'm ready, I'm ready to drop
Oh oh oh oh oh, I'm ready
I'm ready so don't stop
I'm ready so don't stop

(I wake up to find it's another
Four aspirin morning, and I dive in
I put on the same clothes I wore yesterday.
When did society decide that we had to change
And wash a tee shirt after every individual use:
If it's not dirty, I'm gonna wear it.
I take the stairs to the car
And there's fog on the windows.
(And I'm Fighting the words...)
I need caffeine in my blood stream,
I take caffeine in the blood stream.
I grip the wheel and all at once I realize:
(And you're getting away...)
My life has become a boring pop song
And everyone's singing along.)

Well, I'm ready, to drop, well, I'm ready
I'm ready so don't stop, oh
Well, keep pushing, I'm ready to fall
Well, I'm ready, I'm ready so don't call
I'm ready so don't call, oh... oh... oh...

Jack's Mannequin I'm Ready Comments
  1. A.... A....

    Brings back memories!

  2. c.... s....

    It’s interesting how many memories a single song can bring back. I listened to this for the first time in about 10 years and now so many forgotten moments fill my mind and I think that’s a beautiful thing.

  3. r.... e....

    I’m wearing the same clothes I wore yesterday too

  4. t.... ....

  5. B.... B....

    I listen to good ol jack at least monthly.
    But this time, why am I crying my eyes out? I feel like I've cried before, but this time i am hearing the song for another reason.
    I am so close to quitting my job, everyday, for the last year.
    & I don't want to get another job like this. & it's really sad to me because I feel like a waste already blah blah blah
    Anyway the part in the beginning,
    "Think of all the thoughts wasted on you
    Every word you say, say something sweet.
    Cause all I taste is blood between my teeth"
    This is exactly what is happening at work!
    You're KILLING ME SMALLS

  6. M.... r....

  68. 5.... ....

    agreed. I think he's a little dismayed that people love his songs but don't realize what "life" he's put into them.

    It's his LIFE, yet you're still singing along like it's another pop song.

  69. c.... ....

    lovelovelove.

  70. r.... ....

    I love this song! It's great, I love Jack's Mannequin :)

  71. B.... L....

    exactment mon frere, ces filles sont ridiculement stupides quelquefois. alors, demenageons en France, malgre que Brobama vient d'etre elu president. on doit quitter ce pays

  72. N.... L....

    chill. he made a good point, i mean i don't really have a huge problem with the talking part; its just how he wrote it, but he can have his opinion.

    andrew mcmahon is an extraordinary individual who deserves recognition, but a simple criticism of a song isn't something to stress over

  73. B.... L....

    song would be amazing if it didn't have the gay talking parts. still pretty good tho. you have to admire this guy for what he's been through.

  74. D.... H....

    It is a general name for a cancer in which the body produces too many white blood cells. Because of this the cells may lose the ability to fight off infections. There are 3 types of white blood cells. Anyone of these can be over-produced. Because of the overproduction there is not enough room for red blood cells and platelets (the cells that clot your blood). Without red blood cells your body will not get oxygen and without platelets your blood will not clot (which leads to serious injury).

  75. b.... t....

    i come undone, oh yes i do
    just thinking all the thoughts
    wasted on you...

    story of my damn life.
