(say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes)
(say yes, say yes, say yes, say...)

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 words you left out, keeping me awake
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 that's where you want to be
(where you want to be)
it's where you want to be
(where you want to be)

i'm sorry it took me so long
i'm sorry it took me so long
(to come around)
im 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 some white
now who you gonna call tonight?
well, i will never make another promise
(without you)
i won't ever make another promise
(with you in mind)

so pace the stairs to your apartment
like that's where you want to be
(where you want to be)
it's where you want to be
(where you want to be)
so pace the stairs to your apartment
like that's where you want to be
(where you want to be)
it's where you want to be
(where you want to be)

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 yeah)
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
(i keep them glued to my chest)
if i talk in my sleep, if i talk in my sleep
(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
(i don't want to stop you, i just want to know)
(i'm sorry it took me so long)
like i'ts where you want to be...
(i don't want to stop you, i just want to know)
where you want to be
Where You Want To Be

CKy2... everyone's entitled to their opinion, however, my opinion is that your opinion of this song is crap. This song is pretty good, and the gang vocals are awesome. Not my fav. song on the album, but I do like it quite a bit.

This isn't up to TBS' standards.. It's a pretty good song, and the band still owns.

Not the best opening track. “You Know How I do” forced a person to pay attention, it made the listener respect the lyrical and musical genius that is TBS, and it made listeners -WANT- to continue listening to the album (Tell All Your Friends). Unfortunately, you have to wait until track 3 of WYWTB to get those same feelings. I miss John Nolan and Shaun Cooper. Nolan’s vocals would of really helped this song. Adam’s vocals got kind of timid for this album. P.S. HereticMike takes it in the ass from some of the shittiest "Bands/artists" ever to grace the planet (ie Sublime!?!?!)

Dear Atreyu4ever You are an idiot, not because of your insult to TBS, who i myself do not particually like, but instead for you commnet of " Fuck emo and TBS is gay". How can i put this, you user name is Atreyu4ever, Atreyu is a medicore, at best, pop/hardcore band with some of the worst lyrics ever. They do have pretty cool solos however. Also TBS isn't even close to "emo" but whatever. Now go drink some milk and ride a bicycle.

I saw TBS as Warped Tour this year. Their crowd are always awesome. They were last, or one of the last bands to play. I was tired as anything but they opened with this song. It got me pumped right away. This whole album is pretty good, I must say it would have been a million times better with John Nolan but Fred is doing a pretty decent job filling John's shoes. You can purely see the effort of this album put in each song, with the jumping begining of this song and then the breathe catcher, 'New American Classic' and then an amazing ending '...slowdance on the inside' which personally I think is a little too close to Brand New's Soco Ameretta Lime. Taking Back Sunday is a very good and highly respected band. Adam Lazarra is my hero and my role model and TBS all together got me into this 'genre' or music. And to Atreyu4ever, idk man, if TBS was gay then i dont think that Atreyu, the band you show much love and appreication torwards would be touring with them currently.

Great song....musically very reminiscent of the Police. Which makes sense because TBS covered "message in a bottle" on jimmy kimmels show a while back.
