McCafferty - Daddy-Longlegs Lyrics






Fuck!

I think I found out where I do not belong
Stuck inside my head here with all my songs
And I ran so far that I lost the time
And I realize now the whole world is mine

She said "My friends died when I was real young
I think they're waiting for me on the other side
And when I wake up, and you're still gone
Promise that you're waiting on the other side"
She said "My friends died when I was real young
I think they're waiting for me on the other side
And when I wake up, and you're still gone
Promise that you're waiting on the other side"

I'm sorry!

And you were angry as she walks away
And you're getting angry as she tries to stay
And you're getting older so it's hard to say
If this all feels forced or if you're here to stay
And I'm getting angry as you walk away
And you're getting sober starting here today (Yeah right!)
And I'm getting older so it's hard to say
If this all feels forced or if I'm here to stay

"Hey guys, this is Brian (and Raquel), and we wanted to say thank you for keeping this going. You guys mean a whole lot to us, and it’s awesome you guys are actually doing stuff again. You guys have a lot of friend in New Mexico and we’re really happy to hear from you again."
"Everyone else saw through your facade but me. Everyone but me. Because I hoped you were something more! Well, I was wrong, alright? And I regret treating you better than he ever did, because you deserve none of it. And you never will!"

Daddy-longlegs, daddy, daddy-longlegs crawl
Daddy-longlegs, crawl until the bodies fall
Daddy-longlegs, daddy, daddy-longlegs crawl
Daddy-longlegs, crawl until the bodies fall

And it was easy up until the lights went out
Your brother told you everybody's here to hunt
You better run now, better use your self-control
I'm getting nervous, I want to hurt you

Daddy-longlegs, daddy, daddy-longlegs crawl
Daddy-longlegs, crawl until the bodies fall
Daddy-longlegs, daddy, daddy-longlegs crawl
Daddy-longlegs, crawl until the bodies fall

And you were just the first step in a long line
Of every mistake I've made, I can't believe I
Used to hang out with you, I used to love you
I used to want you, I used to need you
And you were just the first step in a long line
Of every mistake I've made, I can't believe I
Used to hang out with you, I used to love you
I used to want you, I used to need you

And I still want you and I still need you
And I still want you and I still need you
And I still want you and I still need you
And I still want you and I still need you

And I still want you and I still need you
And I still want you and I still need you
And I still want you and I still need you
And I still want you and I still need you

And I still want you and I still need you
And I still want you and I still need you
And I still want you and I still need you
And I still want you and I still need you

"I just wanna say from the bottom of my heart. I'd like to take this chance to apologize to absolutely nobody!"

    [FUCK!]
    I think I've found out where I do not belong, stuck inside my head here with all my songs
    And I ran so far that I lost the time
    And I realize now the whole world is mine
    She said my friends died when they were real young, I think they’re waiting for me on the other side
    And when I wake up and you’re still gone, promise that you’re waiting on the other side
    [x2]
    [I’M SORRY!]
    And you were angry as she walks away, and you’re getting angry as she tries to stay
    And you’re getting older so it’s hard to say if this all feels forced or if you’re here to stay
    And I’m getting angry as you walk away, and you’re getting sober starting here today
    [Yeah right!]
    And I’m getting older so it’s hard to say if this all feels forced or if I’m here to stay
    [Hey guys, this is Brian (and Raquel!), and we wanted to say thank you for keeping this going. You guys
    mean a whole lot to us, and it’s awesome you guys are actually doing stuff again. You guys have a lot of
    friend in New Mexico and we’re really happy to hear from you again.]
    [Everyone else saw through your facade but me. EVERYONE BUT ME. Because I hoped you were
    something more! Well, I was wrong, alright? And I regret treating you better than he ever did, because you
    deserve NONE OF IT. And you never will!]
    Daddy longlegs, daddy, daddy longlegs crawl
    Daddy longlegs, crawl until the bodies fall
    [x2]
    And it was easy up until the lights went out, your brother told you everybody’s here to hunt
    You better run now, better use your self-control
    I’m getting nervous
    I want to hurt you
    Daddy longlegs, daddy, daddy longlegs crawl
    Daddy longlegs, crawl until the bodies fall
    [x2]
    And you were just the first step in a long line of every mistake I’ve made
    I can’t believe I used to hang out with you, I used to love you
    I used to want you, I used to need you
    [x2]
    And I still want you
    And I still need you
    [x12]

    K.... W....

    (I'm a year late but I hope this helps)

    [fuck!]

    I think I've found out where I do not belong
    Stuck inside my head here with all of my songs
    And I ran so far, that I lost the time
    And I realize now, the whole world is mine
    She says my friends died when I was real young
    I think they're waitin' for me on the other side
    And when I wake up, and you're still gone, promise that you're waitin' on the other side
    She saw my friends die when I was real young
    I think they're waitin' for me on the other side
    And when I wake up, and you're still gone, promise that you're waitin on the other side

    [I'M SORRY!]

    And you were angry as she walks away
    And you're gettin' angry as she tries to stay
    And you're gettin' older so it's hard to say if this song feels forced or if you're here to stay
    And I'm gettin' angry as you walk away
    And you're getting sober starting here, today
    And I'm getting older so it's hard to say if this all feels forced or if I'm here to stay

    [voicemails that I can't really make out]

    Daddy long legs, daddy daddy long legs crawl
    Daddy long legs, crawl until the bodies fall
    Daddy long legs, daddy daddy long legs crawl
    Daddy long legs, crawl until the bodies fall
    And it was easy up until the lights went out
    Your brother told you, "everybody's here to hunt."
    Better run now, better use your self control
    I'm gettin nervous
    I wanna hurt you
    Daddy long legs, daddy daddy long legs crawl
    Daddy long legs, crawl until the bodies fall
    Daddy long legs, daddy daddy long legs crawl

    I used to love you
    I used to want you
    I used to need you
    And you were just a percent in a long line
    Of every mistake I made I can't believe I used to hang out with you
    I used to love you

  74. J.... ....

    fuck yea 3 years of listening and they finally are getting some sort of recognition that they should have had years ago instead of the fucking front bottoms

    J.... ....

    Why talk shit about the front bottoms? Mccafferty is a really good band why do you have to keep lumping them in with tfb? Let them have their time damn

    J.... ....

    John Shut up about the front bottoms. Both really cool bands but the front bottoms being popular isn't the sole reason McCafferty isn't.

  75. A.... D....

    YAASSSSS

  76. X.... ....

    Horrible. I can`t believe you guys sellout and are pretending to sound nice in this. C`mon Nick, I expected something shittier from you.

    X.... ....

    SpectralNarwhal I'd assume he's probably been bashed really hard by tfb fanbase... but he needs to understand that he's got some fans of his own and some of them are part of it too. In my honest opinion the most valid comparison between McCafferty and The Front Bottoms is how amazing Nick manages to be comparable with a labeled full time band while doing it just for fun and when he wants to. And even making better songs while at it. He's truly a genius and I wish he could realize it.

    X.... ....

    yeah hes basically an edgy teenager who hates himself for no reason except but with a wife and john

    X.... ....

    SpectralNarwhal And perhaps that's the kind of environment that makes him able to make such awesome lyrics... but I still wish he could feel more of the love we have for what he does.

    X.... ....

    hes a great lyricist, i just wish he could stick with it. i mean how many times has he quit the band

    X.... ....

    SpectralNarwhal Yeah... Funny thing is that the band breaking up is always just a break. Which is understandable since it's just a side thing for him. I just wish he didn't make it that hard for us everytime xD

  77. G.... S....

    You guys should really think about doing some videoclips for your songs to get a wider reach, because you really deserve more. Keep it up you're awesome!!!!!!

  78. J.... ....

    McCafferty is love, McCafferty is life

    J.... ....

    YES IT IS
