Mayday Parade - "I Swear This Time I Mean It" (Acoustic) 

I don't understand how this song can be any more acoustic than it already is.

The fact that he sounds EXACTLY the same acoustically and in the studio, is so beautiful

i miss the good ol’ times... the era of mayday parade, arttm, we the kings, the maine, the cab, boys like girls, hey monday, paramore, we are the in crowd, etc..

it kills me that that is his real voice, its too amazing.

Verse: G-D/F#-C9-G-Em7-D/F#-C9-G Refrain: C9-D(Dus2)-C9-Em7-D/F# Chorus 1: G-D/F#-C9-Em7-D/F#-G (to intro/verse) Verse: D/F#-C9-G-Em7-D/F#-C9-G Chorus 2: G-D/F#-C9-Em7-D/F#-C9 going to bridge Bridge: D(Dsus2)-C9-D(Dsus2)-G-D/F#-C9-Em7-D/F# G-D/F#-C9-Em7-D/F# Chorus 1: G-D/F#-C9-Em7-D/F#-G (to intro/verse) Tabs: G(320033), D/F# (200233), C9 (X32033), D (X00232), Dsus2 (X00233), Em7 (022033)

That moment of relief when he finally managed to put those hair strands back into place...

Why is he so perfect...

The voice of an angel

This is one of their sweetest songs, beautiful melody, beautiful voice, beautiful chorus, beautiful lyrics. Idk what it is, theres just something about their melodic, nostalgic sound, even tho I've never had memory about them in the past. You just can't help but to fall in love with it.

Oh, Florida, please be still tonight Don't disturb this love of mine Look how she's so serene You've gotta help me out And count the stars to form the lines And find the words we'll sing in time I wanna keep her dreaming It's my one wish I won't forget this I'm outdated Overrated Morning seems so far away So I'll sing a melody And hope to God she's listening Sleeping softly while I sing And I'll be your memories Your lullaby for all the times Hoping that my voice could get it right If luck is on my side tonight My clumsy tongue will make it right And wrists that touch It isn't much, but it's enough To form imaginary lines Forget your scars We'll forget mine The hours change so fast Oh, God, please make this last 'Cause I'm outdated Overrated Morning seems so far away So…

LOVE. THAT. VOICE.

his voice kills me each time.

omfg Derek's voice is so amazing

He truly has an amazing voice. No auto-tune necessary.

This will always be my favorite song. The emotion behind it is just beautiful

He sings effortless-ly and yet..woah!

What an Angel. His voice does get it right.

Still Listening 2019

You saved my life😊

I was looking up Mayday Parade covers because I guess I'm pretty into covers and such, and I'm extremely into Mayday Parade, but this came up and now I no longer want to look up covers because Derek's voice soothes me more than anything else in the world

So glad I have seen them live

why am I crying

Mayday Parade beyond amazing.. Live they are breathtaking

I love how his voice sounds exactly the way it does on the album

You know he's amazing when you hear him live and he sounds exactly the same, love this song so much

This friday I'm gonna play this in front of the whole entire school for Battle of the Bands. Sort of nervous but it's not my first time doing something like that. I been listening to Mayday Parade for like 6 years now so I have heart for their songs. :)

I saw you guys in Malaysia the other day. You guys are awesome!!

i cant believe im gonna see them live

Love this version of the song. So beautiful! Live especially! Hope they go back on a headlining tour. They're amazing live! Derek's voice is just so beautiful!

just really love his voice, it's so soothing❤

This is our song. (my now ex, and I). The lyrics are perfect for our relationship, especially the beginning. Her ex boyfriend was trying to split us up, and he's from Florida. So the "Oh Florida please be still tonight, don't disturb this love of mine". Just came together perfectly. I guess I love this song, because those are the words I've always wanted to sing to her. "Hoping that my voice could get it right.."

To anyone who wants to learn this song on guitar, its in standard tuning and there is only like 8 chords and most are just variations of a G. Really fun song to play and sing. :)

this song makes me so happy

Replayed this so many times ❤️ it's amazing.

in love with this 😭

Derek, and Mayday Parade too actually, are so underrated! this is amazing, he seriously does not get enough credit for how good a musician he is.

He's absolutely beautiful. This is the most perfect thing I've ever seen.

I've posted about 500 comments on this video and half of the views are from me, flawless man is flawless, so is flawless band.

one of my favorites off anywhere but here.

missin the good old days

i like this song so much. :3 it's about a relationship that has kind of seen hard times, but they're back together, and he just wants to preserve it and keep it safe from going bad again. he says "i swear this time i mean it" because, finally, he really means that he loves her and wants things to stay good like they are right in that moment.

Derek, see you in 12 days. I'm so excited!! Wish I could meet you and the rest of MP. You'll always be one of my inspirations.

Awesome! Love this and the bracelets ;)

Mayday Parade is perfection. ♥♥
