Anodyne

Baby, it's our hearts' slow beating
That make us grow old
I mean to say there's no one helping
We're digging our own hole

I'm reading your words
They're scrawled on the page
They lay here in silent rage
I'll hold you to this for as long as I breathe
Much more than whispers

If I ever found a one leaf clover
It would be you
Wishing that such heights were lower
And nothing is new

Citing your verse
It couldn't sound worse
The black recital I did rehearse
We all die alone as I'm clenching this phone
I can't imagine a slowing hearse

How many times will I play the hero
How many lies before it's true
How many times will we clock out at zero
How many tries before we're through
How many lives 'til another you

The scars are slowly healing
The lips have regained feeling
The obstacles are kneeling
The final wax is sealing
The great white ships are sailing
The feet have left their railing
The four last hooves are hailing

How many times will I play the hero
How many lies before it's true
How many times will we clock out at zero
How many tries before we're through
How many lives 'till another you

Baby, it's our hearts' slow beating
That make us grow old
I mean to say there's no one helping
We're digging our own hole

I just downloaded this song from the show, and heard it for the first time. I'm really hooked on it!! (Along with We're Only Honest When We're Sleeping, of course!)

I noticed that in the verse that starts: "The scars are slowly healing", he seems to change up the lyrics. I can't really make any of those out. Anyone know what they are? Has David sung this at any other shows on the tewer?

Oh, and for everyone else that wondered wht the heck "anodyne" means...(I know I'm not the only one!) :

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anodyne

Main Entry: 1 an·o·dyne
Pronunciation: \ˈa-nə-ˌdīn\
Function: adjective
Etymology: Latin anodynos, from Greek anōdynos, from a- + odynē pain; probably akin to Old English etan to eat
Date: 1543
1 : serving to alleviate pain
2 : not likely to offend or arouse tensions : innocuous

Very interesting...this song is so intense and lyrically profound! Did David write it or one of the other guys?

Ha ha..yes, someone asked Andy if he was ever gonna sing it so the lyrics would be correct finally, and Andy replied that he can't even get the lyrics right when he's singing it live! LOL

So, yeah, it's so lyrically complex that it's hard to remember all of them.

I know that you can buy it on iTunes. It is the MWK version, though. Hope this helps!

I just bought this song from Itunes, and was a little dissapointed that it wasn't sung by David...he may have done some back up singing...but I want it with him singing it...is it available anywhere to purchase?

Can I just say that I have never, ever been so impressed with songs from two entire albums? love every single song from Analog Heart and DCR!

DCR?

I also bought Anodyne by MWK (I knew David didn't sing for them though). I really want an MP3 of David singing this song, even though I'm glad I bought the other one too. I want to make it my ring tone, but I don't have a music file to work with. :'(

That cracked me up. laugh.gif You just can't not love Andy!

The only album David was part of with MWK is Incoherent With Desire To Move On. He sang backup there, but Andy's always been the lead singer in MWK.

And you can download David singing Anodyne, though it's live and all, here:

I didn't know that he didn't sing while he was in that band =( I feel like I'm cheating on him for listening to someone else singing the song...by the way...who wrote it?

Am I crazy or is this song about some girl that wants to commite suicide? I just can't get it out of my head...the part about how many times would I play the hero( when he rescues her) and about the phone with a hearse?

Olivia: is there a forum where they talk about this song? I love it!

No, no! You're not cheating on David! He supports Andy and Neal 100%. And Neal is the primary songwriter for MWK, so I'd imagine that it was him. It sounds alike a Neal-ish song at least, but I could be wrong.

And now that you mention it, that makes a lot of sense... or maybe the girl is already gone, and he's waiting for another one like her... "How many lives til another you?"

And what do you mean by a forum where we talk about this song...?
