Saves The Day - Nightingale Lyrics






And I will flail under these lights that seep down from the bitter sky tonight
and I will kick and beat my wrists together
and feel an ocean breathing waves, feel them licking at my face.
Ceilings don't exist and there are no floors beneath me.
If I were king of this night, would you become my queen?
And I hope, your majesty that you like your position.
I'll do everything I can to keep you by my side
and I'll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom.
Just kiss me before I go.
I'll have to walk a thousand miles just to find the ground deserving of your feet.
You could throw me down and walk on me
and I'd just look on through my love and through the haze.
And I hope, your majesty that you like your position.
I'll do everything I can to keep you by my side
and I'll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom.
Just kiss me before I go.
The nightingales are singing now.
They're calling out our marriage to our subjects on their knees.
Their jewelery is thrown into the air.
They sigh at their release as their shackles hit the ground.
The trumpets call out now.
We're home at last.
And I hope, your majesty that you like your position.
I'll do everything I can to keep you by my side
and I'll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom.
Just kiss me before I go.

  1. T.... R....

    the intro and outro break my heart

  2. L.... A....

    This song reminds me of being drunk in the summer as a teenager.

  11. R.... 7....

    Jewelry

  12. S.... B....

    this song takes me back to when I was in high school and reminds me of my ex who passed away - sometimes I wish I could just go back - will forever be a reminder of good times in my life and of course will always be such a good song <3

  13. D.... H....

    One of my favorite albums of all time and this is my favorite song on that album.

  14. A.... M....

    mitchell campell

    I never thought my life would turn out this way...

    E.... S....

    aw dude. hey. it's okay. you have alot left to go. don't fret

    E.... S....

    None of us did man. High School felt like the entirety of life. I wish I had paid 1/4 the attention to what life after it would be, because you only get to do it once.

    It's fucked up to expect that kind of foresight from kids.

  19. �.... ....

    this sounds so 2007

    �.... ....

    Nick Randles
    Right on! Tell him how it is man

    �.... ....

    That's like calling The Smiths, New Order, Jets To Brazil, The Cure, Joy Division...I can go on...outdated old people music! Obviously you don't have good listening skills to know ageless music when you hear it! Music like this will go on generations beyond the garbage put out today!

  20. D.... G....

    fuck yall this is music.............

  21. x.... ....

    This one goes out to every night my girlfriend and I would listen to this song and take turns singing the chorus to eachother before bed. Thank you Chris Conley and Saves The Day for making us fall in love.
    I love you Christina.

    x.... ....

    I feel an ocean breathing waves

  22. v.... ....

    If you ever find somebody you truly love, don't ever let them go. That's all I am gonna say.

    v.... ....

    @voteZDLR you young people are obessed with the word troll. a troll is someone who says i want to bang your sister. A critic is someone who challenges your thought patterns. Not knowing what love is, that's pretty effn stupid & sociopathic - esp. since like everyone in the history of the world has felt that way, see. all historical literature, poems, songs, art, et al. You are the gd sociopath - prob psycho with the way you talk to people & want to command this conversation as if there is a right & wrong here, with acusations & insults. This is all opinion. So you fuck you. I dont need or want your respect. troll. & your representation of walter white only further proves your socio-thought dievance.

    v.... ....

    Well that escalated at the usual rate

    v.... ....

    @chris whittington ;'D read his comments, if he responds again I'll probably just go ahead and remove them all.

    v.... ....

    You ever play Othello? Just when you're 3/4 the way through the game and you think you're wrecking your opponent, next thing you know, he forces you to give him the corners and covers 70% of the board.

    Trying to gauge the future of your relationship can go like that. The years and circumstances can change us, or make us see differently in ways we can't imagine.

    Just try to enjoy the game!

    v.... ....

    i let her go

  23. C.... N....

    I met my GF in 2002 this was/is our song..memories...

  25. A.... Y....

    Still makes me smile this song. 

  26. j.... ....

    Damn this still gives me goosebumps....I cannot shake the feeling I get from this song 10+ years later idk how young I  was ....

  27. N.... B....

    Chris Connelly & Carrabba (can't believe I remembered their names without the web.) Were my gateway vocalists into a new world of music.

    Nowadays I listen to nsbm, Japanese hc, martial industrial and neofolk. But I will never forget my teenie bopper days having record parties with friends from the drive thru, vagrant, trustkill, deathwishinc records etc days.

    N.... B....

    Back when labels like Trustkill and Victory fucking ruled.

    C.... N....

    Cathedral Party The first time I ever gave head was to "Rocks Tonic Juice Magic" in the backseat of my boyfriends car.

    I cry and tears fall so much when i hear this, this was his song to me and he failed =(wish our lives didnt go the wrong.path, cause before it did,he did do everything to keep me by his side ....

    M.... ....

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c2MgwAJrfXo&feature=share

  45. B.... ....

    This is probably my favorite album of all time, the emotion in these songs is awesome. Still somehow a hidden gem, i love it :o)

  46. R.... P....

    This song rocks!

  47. P.... S....

    Pure Nostalgia

  48. M.... L....

    I feel fucking old as shit. Heard this for the first time like 2001 haha

  49. A.... M....

    I'm only 15.
    I wish people my age knew good music.

  50. J.... M....

    Lol pop/punk? Stop it.... just because this meets todays "pop/punk" rep....doesn't mean this band.....rufio...taking back sunday........from autumn to ashes....the ataris...and even....yes I'm saying it newfound glorys first album....aren't straight skate/punk....meant a totally different thing back then...and yes...the year 2000 give or take is accepted as "back in the day" these a days....were growin up....it sucks...

  51. e.... k....

    thoes 7 people who dont know what good music is need too get out of life they deserve no good music at all oh wait they dont listen too good music
    love this son :D

  52. m.... ....

    His voice is really adolescent sounding and the chord progressions are brooding. These are not things that most people want to listen to past the age of 18. I like this song, but his voice ruins it.

  53. g.... a....

    How does this only have 300 likes.
    Good music is looked over I guess

  54. W.... D....

    Memories, l love this song.

  55. N.... D....

    Holy shit has it been ten years? What the literal fuck? Some things just don't grow old ._.

    N.... D....

    Nicholai Denholm Make it 15 now, and it’s still one of the best songs, albums, and bands who are still influencing pop punk to this day! Timeless stuff if you get it.

  56. J.... ....

    I'm 49 years old, but love Nightingale, Freakish & At Your Funeral

  57. B.... R....

    this will forever be one of the definitive albums that segwayed my life from one chapter to another... albums like this are fuckin game changers

  58. D.... S....

    Nice song

  59. s.... k....

    I love Saves the Day ever since i heard one of their songs.

  60. A.... ....

    Say what you want about what Pop-Punk became, but this album killed.

  61. A.... T....

    Forever in love with this song.

  62. I.... ....

    I agree with daphne. "In Reverie" wasn't near as good as their prior albums. It had a few choice songs that were good, but they weren't Saves the Day anymore... The sounded more like Weezer.

  63. R.... ....

    Yea In Reverie i had to rediscover to realize its on par with through being cool and stay what you are

  64. r.... ....

    definitely saying 'nightingales are singing out'

  65. j.... ....

    @daphnelovesjono In Reverie was and still is amazing

  66. w.... ....

    this is the most poetic song ever! :)

  67. J.... B....

    Nah. This was their last good album they experimented on. In Reverie was brutal. They didn't pull off that well. It's difficult to evolve your style and keep fans. They did well on this one, then they seemed to die out. You can't compare this to Through Being Cool because they're both in completely different leagues of their own. Both classics.

  68. S.... ....

    Saves the Day

  69. D.... ....

    this is one of my favorite songs

  70. C.... ....

    @gluequestOFFICIAL haha same here man... this album is great.. shame the rest of their stuff doesn't come close really :(

  71. t.... ....

    if I were king of this night, would you become my queen?

  72. B.... K....

    correct me if I am wrong, but it sounds like he says "The nightingales are singing out" not "The nightingales are singing now" any one sure on this?

  73. g.... ....

    The most loved song of my life =)

  74. p.... ....

    memoriiiiiiiiiiies

  75. T.... C....

    @imjeff3 Amen to this. I was way bigger on the whole punk/ska scene growing up, but now that I'm kind of an adult (23) I listen to this album more than TBC.

  76. A.... T....

    i never get tired of this song....or the album

  77. B.... I....

    Holy Hell, it just came to me how beautiful these lyrics are. This is truly an amazing song.

  78. T.... ....

    I got my first STD listening to this STD song.

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

    When this CD first came out I wasn't a big fan of it compared to their other CDs like through being cool, but I found as I grew up and my musical tastes matured and in my opinion became better this CD grew on me big time. Saves the day is gold. LIKE.

  80. r.... ....

    For my Queen Tanya :)

  81. L.... M....

    iloveit!

  82. m.... ....

    can u do cars and calories lyrics?

  83. r.... ....

    maybe one of the best chorus ever

  84. S.... F....

    Been a long while since i heard this song. :) Love it alot, amazing lyrics and cool voive. Ty for the vid. :)

  85. B.... R....

    There are alot of really beautiful songs written. This songs lyrics are stereotypical dribble but the way he sings it, especially the chorus.... his voice is the definitive sound of yearning.
