People always used to say this song was about a relationship, but I think it's actually about depression. So many lines always stick out to me when I'm going through a hard time. To me it's clear this song was directed at either himself or someone going through a hard time and asking them to try instead of giving up on life. Just my thoughts.
I like that interpretation, to me it just seems like a few lyrics really lean towards a break up especially at the end when it goes "I don't wanna stop you, I just wanna know." Seems like it's solidifying what is spoken during the rest of the song
Hell yeah my brother, you would've been in my graduating class if we were at the same school. So many good memories made to TBS's catalog. Still takes me back.
Reyes trumps both! He wrote nearly all of the music we love! On a sweet note he recently came over to my house and I got some sweet ass gear that was used in tbs.
I have bought this CD 3 times over the years its been blessing our lives. I cannot agree more with you. Top 3 favorite album. Its so damn good and is still getting better.
This album and Louder Now are still the best TBS albums in my opinion. The lineup at that time was perfect and can't be replaced. I never grow old of this album. It ages like a fine wine and reminds me of a certain time in my youth.
I miss you Brian. I know you’re listening to this right now along with me.. well I hope that you are... hopefully one day I’ll come back to this comment down the line to be reminded of our beautiful times spent together the memories that were made with this song, the band, genre... just to remind me once again of those memories that I never want to forget. everything I’ve showed to you. Our lives together for 17 years... you were my life. I love you Brian Phillips. 💔🤍👼🏻 my angel. My soulmate. My best friend. My family. My world. It’s not been much a world though without you in it and idk if it could be ever again tbh. But I just remembered so many amazing times by finding and listening to this song again. I’m so happy for that. I’ve missed so much. I promise I won’t let myself forget *anything* . dear future self- laur.: I’ll never let you forget a single moment. Traces will be left everywhere. I know my memory isn’t the best but maybe this will help. I less than 3 u. 🫂 *never forget* Breadcrumbs.. “I will never make another promise without you.”
This reminds me of my highschool days. When I first smoked pot, my first punk and emo shows, when girls started to be interested in me, got into my first fight and won and my reputation went way up and no one messed with me after that but my biggest focus was girls girls girls lol the good ole days my goal back then was to date as many girls at once without them finding out and that was easier back then because all we had was myspace and only certain people used it back then lol I matured alot once I hit college and met my college sweetheart and only focused on her and ended up having kids young and she passed and I been raising my kids on my own ever since and all my focus is on my kids and I haven't been with anyone since their mom really I tried to get back in the dating game recently but it's hard on me because I know my soulmate is already gone... Life can take a huge turn even when your so happy you think nothing can stop you but just keep sprinting and never stop... I'm tearing up as I type this... Life is so short so please just enjoy it with people that make you feel like you are the only one in their life.... 😢
Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes I'm sorry it took me so long I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around) I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around) Your famous last words started once your fingers hit the snooze Just nine more minutes, please.. (And they) They all know where to find me Every word that I said, what a big mistake And the ones you left out are keeping me away Well I will never make another promise (without you) I will never make another promise (with you in mind) So pace the stairs to your apartment Like it's where you wanna be (where you wanna be) It's where you wanna be (where you wanna be) I'm sorry it took me so long I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around) I'm sorry it took me so long (to come around) Well there's a secret I've been perfecting, I swore I wouldn't but you let me I'm comfortably confused (and you...) You've gotten so removed You know I, I could take the place of those pills Ocean blue, paint it white Now who ya gonna call tonight? Well I will never make another promise (without you) I will never make another promise (with you in mind) So pace the stairs to your apartment Like it's where you wanna be. (where you wanna be) It's where you wanna be (where you wanna be) [x2] We paint our sins on the ceiling I keep them glued to my chest It keeps me close like a promise kept (Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes) If I talk in my sleep, will you just keep trying? (We paint our sins on the ceiling), I might give it up, if you just keep trying (Well I keep them glued to my chest), If I talk in my sleep, if I talk in my sleep, it's gone (It keeps me close like a promise kept). (Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes) I'm sorry it took me so long (Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes) I'm sorry it took me so long So pace the stairs to your apartment (Will you stop me, I just wanna know?) (I'm sorry it took me so long) Like its where you wanna be (Will you stop me, I just wanna know?) where you wanna be
I am watching the star trek 2009 version of star trek right now. I never knew this song was a reference to star trek. When Spock said set phasers to stun. I thought I'm sure that is a taking back Sunday song 😂
(say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes) I'm sorry it took me so long. To come around. Very much one of those songs with a "vibe from one of life's seasons". Baggage. And a potent nostalgia. Still very much in that season with this song, and I'm likely hours away from finding out whether or not that season is ending. I will miss it.
One of my favorite TBS classics ever, feels so good blasting and singing to this out loud. LYRICS [intro] Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes Say yes, say yes, say yes, say [Refrain] I'm sorry it took me so long I'm sorry it took me so long To come around I'm sorry it took me so long To come around [Verse 1] Your famous last words started once your fingers hit the snooze "Just nine more minutes please (And they) They all know where to find me" Every word that I said, what a big mistake And the ones you left out are keeping me awake Well, I will never make another promise without you I won't ever make another promise with you in mind [Chorus] So pace the stairs to your apartment Like that’s where you wanna be (Where you wanna be) That’s where you wanna be (Where you wanna be) [Refrain] I'm sorry it took me so long I'm sorry it took me so long (To come around) I'm sorry it took me so long (To come around) [Verse 2] Well there's a secret I've been perfecting I swore I wouldn't but you let me I'm comfortably confused (And you) You've gotten so removed You know I, I could take the place of those pills Ocean blue, paint it white Now who you gonna call tonight? Well, I will never make another promise (Without you) I will never make another promise (With you in mind) [Chorus] So pace the stairs to your apartment Like that’s where you wanna be (Where you wanna be) That’s where you wanna be (Where you wanna be) So pace the stairs to your apartment Like that’s where you wanna be (Where you wanna be) That’s where you wanna be (Where you wanna be) That's where you wanna be [Bridge] Oh, we paint our sins on the ceiling I keep them glued to my chest It keeps me close like a promise kept (Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes) If I talk in my sleep, will you just keep trying?

After grunge there was a drought and tbs silvertstein and hawthorne heights quenched my thirst. Normally they would be considered a stop gap but they were so much better than that. I really wondered where music was going. braid, mock orange and so on carried the torch but taking back sunday was the good popular alt rock of the early 2000's.
Brooo I used to listen to this song with my ex like almost 13 years ago we split up back then and now were like hitting it off again 😎 I just sent it to her haha wow were fucking old now. I'm way happy
I always think of what these records wouldve been like with Nolan, where he belonged the whole time. I'm biased in a way because I'm from LI and saw them often when they were just a 'local' band, but I feel like the way his and Adam's lyrics, vocals and personas bounce off each other yin/yang was irreplaceable
@@schizojit Well, Nolan came back starting around...2011, was it?? I still haven't really given those later records a proper spin, actually, and I have no excuse, bc I even followed John into Straylight, and was waiting for him to return...Actually, speaking of which, anyone have any recommendations for individual standout tracks post-reunion, for someone who loved "TAYF"??
