Jack's Mannequin - The Resolution Lyrics






There's a lot that I don't know
There's a lot that I'm still learning
When I think I'm letting go
I find my body it's still burning

And you hold me down
And you got me living in the past
Come on and pick me up
Somebody clear the wreckage from the blast

[Chorus:]
Yeah I'm alive
But I don't need a witness
To know that I've survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness
Yeah I just need light
I need light in the dark
As I search for the resolution

And the bars are finally closed
So I try living in the moment
For the moment it just froze
And I felt sick and so alone

I could hear the sound
Of your voice still ringing in my ear
I'm going underground
But you'll find me anywhere I fear

[Chorus]

The resolution
The resolution

And you hold me down
Yeah you hold me down

Yeah I'm alive
But I don't need a witness
To know that I've survived
I'm not looking for forgiveness

[Chorus]

I need life
I need life
(Lying in the dark as I search for the resolution)
Resolution
(Lying in the dark as I search for the resolution)
Resolution
(Lying in the dark as I search for the resolution)

  5. K.... ....

    Holy balls I forgot how good this song is.

  6. T.... L....

  9. D.... I....

    Heard this in a store somewhere I think maybe 6 or so years ago. Been getting into all things Andrew McMahon as of late. This man is art beyond words.

  10. D.... M....

    I'm so glad that I found Andrew McMahon. His music is so great

    D.... M....

    If you like this savant check out Jackson Browne this guy gets how you write a song. Jackson too. Amazing. Truly. We appreciate it Andrew. Fah sho

  11. E.... G....

    to be clear i WAS looking for forgiveness, just maybe in the wrong places

  12. g.... d....

    Omg so much memories!!

  13. H.... Y....

    ♪...And the bars are finally closed
    So I try living in the moment
    'Til the moment it just froze
    And I felt sick and so alone...♫

  14. M.... V....

    Who's here cause of Kathleen?

    M.... V....

    me!! :)

  15. K.... K....

    Wow, memories. I randomly recalled this song :D so many years

  16. B.... ....

    makes me so happy to see all the Panic! and Weezer fans watching these videos like yess Andrew deserves so much love and fame

  17. I.... /....

    Ok. So Andrew McMahon write everything he writes all the lyrics and his own songs. The director may have been one of the people directing this but no. She didn't write the song. And you can say Wikipedia says she wrote it. Not everything on the Internet is true. And that is definitely not true.

  18. m.... r....

    何回も聴きに来る…すごく好きだ
    こんな感じの繋がっていくメロディは洋楽ならではだなってつくづく思う

    m.... r....

    You know I don't speak Spanish!

  19. s.... ....

    i like the song but i cant help but cringe at the piano in the truck sorry

  20. B.... T....

    See, I'm thirteen and I love this band. Not every teenage girl is obsessed with one direction. People judge so much so much by someone's age and gender my god just stop.

    B.... T....

    +Beatriz Teixeira -COOL....I'm 65 and I love Jack's Mannequin

  21. a.... m....

    I get that this band is really old but I just found them like an hour ago and I'm in love already wowowowowow

    a.... m....

    Andrew McMahon is an amazing artist. All his stuff is great. Check out Something Corporate and Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness

    a.... m....

    The first time I heard this was Six years ago on TeenNick Music Videos. Loved that shit...

    a.... m....

    IT AINT OLD AT ALL

    a.... m....

    Well, Something Corporate was his first older band and just as good. Hes always been one of my favorite artists, its a shame more people dont know him. Check out Down, Ruthless, Hurricane, Wont up in a Car, ect. All great songs.

  22. Q.... ....

    Who remembers when they played this non stop on The-n? Good memories.

    Q.... ....

    noodlechick90 holy shit I forgot about The N!

    Q.... ....

    THE MOTHERFUCKING N!!!! That was my shit back in the day!

    Q.... ....

    Dramatic teens unite!

  23. T.... ....

    Almost six years later I'm still searching for the resolution.

  24. A.... F....

    BEST SONG EVER EVEN FOR 5 YEARS LISTENING TO IT

  25. D.... H....

    I think in the chorus, he's trying to say he doesn't need God ( a witness) to know that he survived (referring to the time he had Cancer) and he is not looking for forgiveness like other people do in times of desperation.

  26. E.... F....

    hits the heart everytime

  27. M.... G....

    This is still my favorite song

  28. E.... C....

    I remember this song

  29. K.... P....

    I'd like to see Andrew and Ace Enders from The Early November do a collaboration piece. Though once I see it, I am pretty sure my heart would stop. Worth it.

    K.... P....

    Kevin P there are collabs

  30. F.... E....

    2014 <3

  31. K.... ....

    I am glad he is still making music, even if it isnt under the jacks mannequin name anymore, Jacks Mannequin or Andrew Mcmahon, still amazing music.

  32. L.... E....

    I agree!

  33. T.... ....

    Anyone else see this video on TeenNick like 4 Years ago?

  34. L.... �....

    song Jack's Mannequin <3

  35. N.... D....

    video Stephenie Meyer <3

  36. I.... ....

    And I probably wouldn't have made it through high school without Something Corporate :P

  37. K.... u....

    Pio gay pethaineis...

  38. G.... ....

    I've listened to Jack's Mannequin for a very long time, but I still heard this song on the radio.

  39. M.... ....

    probably wouldn't of gotten thru high school without jacks mannequin

  40. C.... ....

    I actually found this song on a online radio station

  41. C.... T....

    Because great music like this isn't on the radio. Also, people are too lazy and scared to look for music that they can really enjoy and feel proud of listening to music that has a true meaning.

  42. S.... a....

    Come on now....be fair to Twilight, if you were a 14 year old girl, then you might have enjoyed it. Because 14 year old girls don't like completely awful, horribly cliched things at all.
    To it's credit though, the damn thing does sell...although neither selling well nor being good implies the other.

  43. A.... ....

    Because we're the smart ones, and everyone else is just everyone else.

  44. D.... H....

    I remember this used to come on VH1 and MTV all the time back in 2008. Wow, awesome memories :D

  45. M.... D....

    hum sneak peak of her next novel :) <3<3<3mermaids<3<3<3

  46. b.... g....

    great song

  47. A.... ....

    8/10 on wikipedia is incorrect

  48. L.... �....

    He is truly beautiful inside and out.

  49. s.... ....

    Not only that. It's a really moving song about over coming something. A real force after his battles with disease.

  50. c.... ....

    vibes of sweetness.

  51. K.... M....

    "I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution" are the correct lyrics. Might want to do a little research before you get something tattooed on you.

  52. l.... ....

    MAJOR FRICKIN CHILLS

  53. J.... Y....

    She did direct it. Just didn't write the lyrics..

  54. R.... ....

    Not everything on wikipedia is true. >_>

  55. J.... R....

    i've danced in my car to this song and salute at everyone staring at me =]

  56. C.... B....

    i still love dis song when im singing this song i sing loud enough for everyone to hear

  57. C.... H....

    550,000? wtf? This is meaningful music with powerful lyrics and an undeniably fun melody? how is it being left in the dust by the other crap on youtube?

  58. B.... ....

    This video was directed by S.M???

  59. c.... ....

    RIP Jacks :(

  60. m.... ....

  63. J.... J....

    holy shit. I have Ehlers-Danlos too....I can't believe I just read your comment. I feel like the only person on earth with it and it consumes/ruins my life.

  64. T.... ....

    Those first few lines mean so much to me... I've been so stressed with possible cancer and have an appointment tomorrow. This song just seems to give me some hope that everything will be okay. Thank you Jack's Mannequin :]

  65. K.... ....

    he should be way more famous than he is.

  66. p.... ....

    i love you andrew mcmahon.

  67. S.... ....

    why isn't there a lot of views for this song? it's been out for some time now.

  68. w.... ....

    Stephanie Meyer wrote the treatment and directed this MV? ... -A - Not sure how to feel about that. Love JM though...

  69. s.... ....

    I like him better with dark hair.

  70. s.... ....

    i now understand what this song is about

  71. A.... H....

    I've been listening to Jack's Mannequin songs quite a bit today because I'm putting together a mixed CD for my friend Alex...she has cystic fibrosis. In fact, so do I. We're both pretty sick right now. And then I come across your comment, and I pretty much just broke down. Well, you can bet this song is going on the CD. I hope your test results came back negative, but in the rare occurrence they didn't, feel free to send me a message. :) Breathe easy.

  79. E.... ....

    Such a good song.

  80. T.... ....

    love this song <3

  81. S.... ....

    @MrSearocket err, thats like saying if you like a piece of clothing in a store known for unfair-trade, who cares about the third-world starving, low-paid children who sweated to make it. All im saying is it has an effect on it that will always be at the back of my mind

  82. D.... I....

    LIKE if you just saw them at SOUNDWAVE!

  83. S.... ....

    @MrSearocket love the guy love the song just dont love the idea of being associated with crap directors. and oh i didnt know i couldnt make certain opinions sorry, ALL HAIL MR.SEAROCKETS VAGINA, AYE NUMBER 1!

  84. S.... ....

    @seishintekikutsu definitely :)

  85. J.... J....

    Andrew McMahon and his amazing music have given me a new perspective, love, and respect for life. People like him are far and few between. I love you Andrew--you saved my life. <3

  86. s.... ....

    @imSoNotDavid Agree. The only reason I will now watch this is because I love this band.

  87. S.... ....

    @Galardiel1000 thanks for staining and ruining my perception of the song, artist and video by telling me twilight had something to do with this, thanks alot

  88. M.... M....

    The videoclip was directed by Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight Saga. Really inspirational. Love it :)

  89. n.... ....

    can you tell me what you think? /watch?v=cCjM1YKOr2I

  90. N.... ....

    i will forever love andrew

  91. K.... K....

    This song has really helped me. I've been having several medical problems over the past couple years, and I found out a couple months ago that I have Ehlers Danlos, a hereditary connective tissue disorder. And on the 20th I'm going to be tested to see if I have Cystic Fibrosis. I've been out of school for about 5 months now, and rarely see my friends. But this song has helped me so much in my current condition. Thank you SO much Jack's Mannequin! I can't wait to see you guys on Feb 6th :)

  92. T.... ....

    now that is a resolution.

  93. l.... ....

    your all wrong. hes a one maan band

  94. A.... S....

    there is nothing you can say negative about this band. amazing story. amazing music.

  95. M.... H....

    Words can't describe how beautiful this song, this man, and this band is.

  96. D.... D....

    he's so inspirational. i hope everyone knows this is about him surviving leukemia.

  97. T.... H....

    i suppose its a matter of opinion and taste. i happen to think she is a fantastic writer. each to their own hey.

  98. c.... ....

    @traceofpurple yeah that statement is more than a stretch. that's like a tug and a snap.
