Lyrics:
I'm sittin' here all by myself
just tryin' to think of something to do
Tryin' to think of something, anything
just to keep me from thinking of you
But you know it's not working out
'cause you're all that's on my mind
One thought of you is all it takes
to leave the rest of the world behind
[Chorus]
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back, but I know you did
I'm sittin' here tryin' to convince myself
that you're not the one for me
But the more I think, the less I believe it
and the more I want you here with me
You know the holidays are coming up
I don't want to spend them alone
Memories of Christmas time with you
will just kill me if I'm on my own
[Chorus]
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back
I know it's not the smartest thing to do
we just can't seem to get it right
But what I wouldn't give to have one more chance tonight
One more chance tonight
I'm sittin' here tryin' to entertain myself with this old guitar
But with all my inspiration gone it's not getting me very far
I look around my room and everything I see reminds me of you
Oh please, baby won't you take my hand
we've got nothing left to prove
[Chorus]
Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back, but I know you did
And I didn't mean to meet you then
we were just kids
And I didn't mean to give you chills
the way that I kiss
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back but I know you did
Don't say you didn't love me back 'cause you know you did
No, you didn't mean to love me back
But you did
Plain White T's prévoit lancer un nouvel album en 2008. Le groupe de Chicago a plusieurs idées en tête pour de nouveaux morceaux.
En janvier, Plain White T's prévoit partir à l'étranger pour y faire la promotion de son dernier album, «Every Second Counts» (2006), qui vient tout juste d'être lancé sur le marché international. Le groupe compte ainsi donner des concerts au Royaume-Uni, en Europe, en Australie, en Nouvelle-Zélande et au Japon. «On est peut-être en ce moment plus célèbre au Royaume-Uni qu'en Amérique», lance le chanteur Tom Higgenson en entrevue à Billboard.
Une fois de retour de ce périple, la formation commencera à travailler sur son prochain album. Higgenson indique que les membres ont quelque chose comme 17 idées de chansons en banque. Huit ou neuf d'entre elles peuvent être considérées comme des pièces complètes.
Le leader du groupe veut aussi continuer à composer du matériel pour pouvoir finalement compter sur 25 ou 30 nouvelles chansons au moment d'entrer en studio en vue de ce prochain effort.
«Hey There Delilah», succès qui figurait sur l'album «All That We Needed» (2005), a certes influencé le groupe. La pièce boni «Every Second Counts» avait aussi fait bonne figure dans les palmarès. Plain White T's compte donc inclure quelques chansons acoustiques sur son prochain opus, dit le chanteur, tout en mentionnant que les morceaux plus énergiques seront plus rock que jamais.
