Say Anything - Do Better Lyrics

Y'all I'm hearing this for the first time in 2020 and I am LIVINGGGGGG for it

Ten years later I still listen to this song when I feel hopeless

This album not being on spotify is a crime :(

I drink alone and watch tv and harvard graduates laugh at me.

Jesus this song is ten years old already?

The lyrics to this song are the thoughts that keep me up at night.

ik its ridulous, but its 2019 and im still seeing amvs of this, a real time stamp song !!

I usually use this song to chide myself for not meeting my expectations. I started today by meeting a fitness goal of mine and this time parts of the song were positive. I can do better, and not just when I've been doing poorly. Happy listening!

should have been on brightburn soundtrack

Why did I randomly remember this band and why was this the only song I saw on their discography that I remembered

Who is still loving this song in 2019?

nah bitch 2020

I love this song but am I the only one that thinks the begging sounds like a sims song? Like in build mode?

don't let tik tok ruin this song
please

Dammmmmmn this gives me nostalgia

"You can do better, better than that, you're a fraud. Thank god you learned to keep your shirt on." Is he talking about metaphorically and/or literally whoring yourself out in that line? You're a fraud, but at least you haven't whored yourself out to some soulless ideal or directly to other people? I guess I just interpret it like that because I relate to it.

This is one of my favorite songs!! I love it!!

This song makes me so happy for some reason lol

This is such a weirdly good song

Completely forgot about this song

Okay, I've been singing this song and I memorized all the lyrics but I haven't listened in years, so I finally went back and realized I sang one word wrong and just wow

Listening in 2019

i remember listening to this with my sister when i was like 8 and i loved it and now im actually paying attention and understand the lyrics i love the song even more

I was gone for so long, and now that I am free and listening to this again, almost 10 years later. Everything is getting better.

this is an amazing song i remember listing to this in 2010 as a 6 year old and loving it and i just remembered the song and now i'm 13 and it reminds me of such great day just listening to this song and say anything in general

Why does this song describe my current mentality and life so well?

I listen to this when I'm feeling insecure

These comments are from so long ago...This song saved my life....It deserves so much more recognition.

I start to watch Will and Grace because of this song.

George is reminded of his childhood and now is very upset with his life.

i've been trying to remember this song and band forever. google doesn't understand when i say "album with kid in a superhero costume" but i finally found this band in a fuckin "emo hits" playlist hell yeah

My friends have struggled to get me into Say Anything for about a month. I saw them live in STL the 18th and 19th which was yesterday and the day before.
There are no words to describe the respect I’ve gained for them. I simply fell in love. I relate so much and the music is so well written. These guys are true artists and should be greatly appreciated for many years.
This song right here is now one of my all time favorite songs ever! And this whole album is absolutely beautiful.
If I ever have a chance to see them live again there’s no doubt I’ll be there.

For me the most underrated band in the world who have made some of the best songs I've ever heard are The Mountain Goats.

Everyones here from brandon but im here from Eltons charity live stream

Damn I love everything about this song👍🏼

this song made me feel something that no other song has made me feel in a while. it's a weird fuzzy feeling.....

This song makes me so happy

S O F T A N D N E A T

This song saved my life.

just discovered them in 2017!!

who tf is Brandon Cavillo? I ran into this song being a long time fan

IT TOOK ME AROUND 8 YEARS TO FINALLY FIND THIS SONG AGAIN.
Ugh I remember listening to this so many times, and then gradually over time I listened to this less and less to the point I forgot about this song.
And then on 6-3-2017 I suddenly had this song stuck in my head and searched high and low trying to remember what this song was.
Went through my Favourite list that has over 4500 Video's and this song wasn't there, but the moment I saw 'Say Anything' I finally started to remember what this songs title was...
and here we are, I've been listening to this on repeat for atleast 3-4 hours.

I have it on reply almost all the time lmao

Could someone explain the deeper message of "learn to keep your shirt on"? Is this some turn of speech?

It means to keep you cool or stay calm

Still one of the best bands around!

clench the world between your buns ❤

if only songs were this good today

the first few seconds remind me of the music they play in every single diabetes commercial

It reminds me of the sims.

Nita hahaha I cant think of anything else when I hear that now

Oh my god

My sister showed me this song back when it came out and I would play this and 3 other songs on the first IPod touch while I play a scare boarding rat game before going to bed. and just yesterday this song came into my head and now I can't get it out

This song brings back the best times of my life , freshman year of high school . And now I'm 19 , a mother and stressed tf out. Thank yah so much for posting this it's so hard finding these songs

Meeeeeee. im actually here because my brother goes "listen to this" and i think "this is kinda shit. oh wait. hmmm..... nope its the shit" now i love SA

I am. And this is my first or second favorite album from them.

This song made me feel happy for the first time in a while

Micah Brooks same

Yeah, me too. Little bit of magic in this.

This song is not good for my selfesteam

This is my new fav song thank you Brandon calvillo

I love this song I discovered it through my idol Brandon calvillo

Hearing this live was amazing!! Definitely a good one for the setlist.

I remember back in the summer of 2012, there used to be a Fullmetal Alchemist AMV to this, but it's gone now. It was like a timeskip, like a dream. Oh well, I'm glad I finally found it.

Thank u Brandon Calvillo

Who's here cuz Brandon Calvino

@Riley John Heyo!

this song basically means that the younger generation can do better than the older generation, that we can be better and save the world or something like that

@Quantum That makes a lot of sense, thank you. :)

No problem, Jan!

it's a common song element though. and of course it's wrong.

Pia Ruby what ever you interpret the song as.. I hope the younger generation does better and then the next one so on so on.

basicay

I will always love this song. It really boosts my spirits and makes me feel like I can take on the world!

this is sweeeet

2015 anyone?

ashley778909 2017....

2017, wow

2019. Now

I haven't heard this song is years 

Love the instrumental!!

best song they're ever released.

ha. HA, HAHAHAHA. it's a great song but SA is chock full of gems.

i use to listen to this song to pump myself up.

Good stuff

8 people are idiots and should burn in hell

I don't remember the tempo picking up at the first chorus was this edited or is my tablet going Kray?

magnanimity. "There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal."

Max Bemis is a fucking beast. Hes lyrics have done so much for me in my younger years. He has the balls to write stuff that no other song writer whould have done.

Colin Holbrook brought me here :)

Best song ever. Thank you

this is such a smart and badass song!!!
this made me such a wise ass! XD
>:D

i love this song!!!!!!!!!!

This song should be all over. It's beautiful and inspiring. Max Bemis can change the world with his music

@FuckinTease Thanks man!

@stoopy43
actually he's doing a superman pose just before he launches off into the sky.

however.... I'm pretty sure I'd never obsess over him to the point in "I love you more than I hate your period." thats fucking weird.

@MissBlackEyeliner0 I....am completely in utter agreement with you . lmao this guy is a genius.. He knows what he's doing, he makes people feel emotions and enjoys doing it..He knows how to make someone FEEL something. like not even. he's just excellent at portraying how he feels and expressing it into words. He's fucking brilliant. hahahahaha<3

@CommiPANDA I just realized the same thing...

Just realized that the kid on the album cover isn't holding a sword... thats the moon.

favorite song by them. srsly B]
its just.. so great.

Now i get why he refuses to play songs from baseball

This is probably my favorite song from them. Say anything is just great. max bemis is the greatest lyricist of our time. i mean just listen to him.

im probably responsible for atleast 300 of these views

@OrbitProductionsLmtd Do you happen to be on any drug, or intoxicated?

@OrbitProductionsLmtd Yo, that's one word. Well technically it's two, awe and some. Maybe i'm missing something tho. I miss a lot. Watevs tho, this song is fresh.

one of my fave songs,

I wish I had the instrumentals to this song. Does anyone know if you can even get it?

can u send me tha song?

discovery just thia wkend. Three words: Awesome.

I agree! I enjoy his writing because his honesty gives you such a sense of his own complexity and the complexity of people in general. I have to say his songs sometimes feel too melodramatic for my tastes, but hey-- people often write music to cope with the most emotional and dramatic moments of their lives, and furthermore people often listen to music for the same purpose. The bottom line for me is that it's nice to hear someone be so shamelessly blunt about their feelings.

this is so amazing the best band ever! yay it's finally on itunes!! :D I've been waiting :)

I'm so jealous of that kid on the cover.

awesome song

niiiiice!
