Jimmy Eat World - Kill Lyrics






Well, you're just across the street
Looks a mile to my feet
I want to go to you
Funny how I'm nervous still
I've always been the easy kill
I guess I always will

Could it be that everything goes 'round by chance? (chance?)
Or only one way that it was always meant to be (be)
You kill me, you always know the perfect thing to say (hey hey, hey hey)
I know what I should do, but I just can't walk away

I can picture your face well
From the bar in my hotel
I wish I'd go to you
I pick up put down the phone
Like your favorite Heatmeiser song goes
It's just like being alone

Oh God, please don't tell me this has been in vain (vain)
I need answers for what all the waiting I've done means (means)
You kill me, you've got some nerve, but can't face your mistakes (hey hey, hey hey)
I know what I should do, but I just can't turn away

So go on love
Leave while there's still hope for escape
Got to take what you can these days
There's so much ahead
So much regret
I know what you want to say
(Know what you want to say)
I know it but can't help feeling differently
I loved you, and I should have said it
But tell me just what has it ever meant

I can't help it baby, this is who I am (am)
Sorry, but I can't just go turn off how I feel (feel)
You kill me, you build me up, but just to watch me break (hey hey, hey hey)
I know what I should do, but I just can't walk away

  8. C.... C....

    Best album Jimmy eat world ever did it gets to me so much and drugs or me was the hardest song for me to listen to because my brothers been an opiate addict for 10 years and watching him destroy himself with that shit has just made it almost impossible being around him but like the lyrics in this song "I know what I should do but I just cant walk away" its hard but I cant give up on him. The music of Jimmy eat world has gotten me through some of the roughest times in my life, love from Indiana!

  16. D.... A....

    One tree Hill ever

  17. P.... H....

    You know, had not Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable ever admitted their feelings to one another, I think that this song would have been perfect for them, but now this song is more of a Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste sort of song.

  18. L.... M....

    This is literally the best album of music every created. Like if you agree, but only literally if you actually legitimately agree. lol

  19. M.... G....

    One tree hill has been bringing me to some very good songs lately.

    N.... S....

    for real I love one tree hill and the songs

    N.... S....

    Thought it was only me who felt that the music in OTH actually *makes* the entire series.

    N.... S....

    @Ilana Zargari your not and I agree

    N.... S....

    Me too,just started watching OTH last week again...OTH,Smallville,The O.C,Dawson's Creek...great music.

  29. S.... S....

    Half Right is my favourite Heatmiser song. How did they know?! Creepy...

    I can't help it baby, this is who I am..
    I'm sorry but I just can't go turn off how I feel..
    I just can't walk away..
    I'm sorry Natasha.

  35. M.... O....

    Yes, I definitly need answers for what all the 4 years waiting I've done mean..And I know that I should, but I just can't walk away from him or turn off how I feel for him. Cause what I feel is that I love him (althoug he builds me up, only to see me break) and maybe I should have said it. But what has it ever meant?

    Funny how exactly this song describes my life.

  36. f.... ....

    Fuck one tree hill! JeW 4 life!!

  37. A.... H....

    I just can't walk away, I can't walk away from him. He'll never know how much I love him and maybe one day I won't be there for him and he'll have turned around and I have walked away

  38. K.... H....

    One Tree Hill .....

  39. A.... ....

    Just keep on coming back to this song here & there over the years. There are simply some things in life we can never truly let go of. Their finest album.

  44. c.... ....

    you must not listen to that much music then! haha

  45. C.... L....

    My favorite song, hands down. This song pretty much spoke every feeling I was feeling back when I was 18. Still love it eight years later.

  46. G.... L....

    This my first time seeing a song with out a repeated chorus....its unique I like it

  47. K.... ....

    "Just what has it ever meant".

  53. F.... ....

    Perfect for The Walking Dead anyone?

  54. G.... ....

    Not many views on this song compared to their others, but to me its one of the very best.

  55. X.... ....

  56. S.... A....

  57. A.... C....

    at 2:35 and from then on amazing vocals :)

  58. M.... ....

    One Tree Hill <3

  59. A.... V....

    youtube should remove the dislike button... those who like it, say it. those who dont, why the fuck r u here? so thers no need for a dislike button.. just go away.

    A.... V....

    GFY, Anji Viper! I have a right to dislike something if I want to online. However, with that being said, I do not dislike this song.

  60. K.... S....

    perfect song!!! I love it!!

  61. a.... d....

    "i can't help it baby, this is who i am.
    i'm sorry, but i can't just go turn off how I feel.
    you kill me, you build me up, but just to watch me break.
    i know what i should do, but i just can't walk away..."

  62. C.... ....

    @ph0on lol im glad someone else got that reference to half right

  63. I.... C....

    love the nod to Heatmiser - Half Right. the Jimmy Eat World cover of Half Right is an awesome tribute to Elliott Smith.

  64. T.... ....

    One of the best JEW songs I have heard. Love it!

  65. b.... ....

    love this song and Jimmy Eat World!

  66. T.... ....

    One time I was listening to this song on my ipod, and then Clocks by Coldplay came on right after and I was like "OMG The Intros Sound The Same!!!!!!" Seriously one is piano, and the other is acoustic guitar, but the 2 songs songs sound the same O.o
    Both great songs though...this one is kinda the story of my life

  67. u.... ....

    Singing along with this song always brings tears to my eyes.

  68. d.... ....

    This band is orgasmic, I went to their concert with a friend a few weeks ago and it was AMAZING! They played this, The Middle, Pain, Sweetness and more amazing ones.

  69. C.... R....

    these guys suck LOL JK theyre jimmy eat world

  70. m.... ....

    @XoxEgan agreed

  71. s.... ....

    @XoxEgan

    I agree. The lyrics 'I loved you, and I should have said it
    But tell me just what has it ever meant' rings so many alarm bells to me.

  72. D.... L....

    Such. A good. SONG!

  73. P.... ....

    @dogruns I can relate to that.. so did I.

  74. S.... N....

    @XoxEgan Yet their lyrics are unique at the same time? I don't know how they do it. Lol.

  75. U.... ....

    It's their best song. i started listening to it when i was 13 an now with 18 its still great because the lyrics are so sad ...but they helped me a lot.

    "I loved you, and I should have said it
    But tell me just what has it ever meant"


    i will never stop enjoy jimmy eat world.

  76. S.... J....

    @kattttiiie Stupid, prissy females always think these drama TV shows are more than shows.. Just.. be quiet.. You look like a moron.

    S.... J....

    Says the person with the username SlightlyStoopid Justin...tell me, are you chauvinist/masculinist, MGTOW, asexual, or butch gay? Honestly, there is not any real difference between those things anyway, except that being asexual means that you are super hardcore introverted and hate contact with not only women, but men, and all life forms.

  77. a.... ....

    @ninjasoncrack probably not. they didnt choose the name cos the initials were JEW. they got it from a picture (go Jimmy eat world's wiki page for a better explanattion on why they're called that)

  78. a.... ....

    who cares bout 1 tree hill or whatever this was on?

  79. S.... J....

    @zamiist More like One Gay Hill.

    S.... J....

    Hey, fucktard, some of the other songs that are on this album appeared in some fucking awesome video games, namely, Gran Turismo 4, Midnight Club III: DUB Edition Remix, Burnout 3: Takedown, and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, so shut your fucking whore mouth, you stupid and simple basic bitch!

  80. f.... ....

    also heard this in one tree hill.
    interesting that Jimmy Eat World sounds so similar to Jimmy Edward, isnt it?

  81. K.... O....

    this songs so good, theres a new band called autovein, there reallly good i uploaded their best song called come to you by autovein, its on my channel check it out

  82. t.... ....

    @mrshall4 die in a fire loser

  83. T.... S....

    I agree, one of the best albums ever...

  84. t.... ....

    If you consider yourself a Jimmy Eat World fan, and you don't own their "Clarity" album.. then you are NOT a fan.

  85. J.... B....

    I tried to find this by searching "jew kill". Let's just say I didn't find any music... :D

    J.... B....

    Yeah, I don't think that you're going to find anything outside of racial supremacist bullshit if you try using those keywords, Josh Burns.

  86. M.... ....
