Yes Lyrics (Completed from Scan of CD Booklet)

Ultravioletlight25 · 03-06-2008, 05:46 PM

So after listening to the Amazon trailer, I must say that I think “YES” is a brilliant song! I just love it and can’t wait to hear the full version. I took a stab at the lyrics so far based on the clip from Amazon. I didn’t see a similar thread but if there is one feel free to delete. Also please let me know if the lyrics need any corrections. Thanks!

Edit, these are from the Japan Version of the Album which does contain the lyrics. The scans were posted here:

When it started we had high hopes
Now my back's on the line
My back's on the ropes

When it started we were alright
But night makes a fool
of us in the daylight

Then we were dying of frustration
Saying Lord lead me not into temptation
But it’s not easy when she turns you on
Sin, stay gone

If you’d only, if you’d only say yes
Whether you will's anybody’s guess
God only God knows I'm trying my best
But I’m just so tired of this loneliness

Hey

So up they picked me by the big toe
I was held from the rooftop then they let go
Dizzily screaming 'Let the windows down'
As I crawl to the ground

If you'd only if you'd only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess
God only God knows she won't let me rest
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
I've become so tired of this loneliness

Yeah, I think you're pretty much right, just a couple of mistakes. I don't think he sings "Saying stay gone", doesn't sound like it to me, but I don't know what he could be saying:

When it started, we had high hopes
Now my back's on the line
My back's on the ropes
When it started, we were alright
But night makes a fool of us
In the daylight

There we were dying of frustration
Singin', "Lord, lead me not into temptation"
But it's not easy when she turns you on
(?)

If you'd only, if you'd only say "Yes"
Whether you will is anybody's guess
God, only God knows she won't let me rest
But I'm just so tired of this loneliness
I've become so tired of the loneliness

You're right I am not sure about the part after "turns you on" -- I still haven't been able to figure it out. Thanks for the corrections!

This is my fav. song so far, wow,
and VH and VLV are amazing as well so u know how good YES is.

JPB · 03-06-2008, 09:48 PM

^ Yes. Yes I do.

My back's on the ropes

When it started we were alright
But night makes a fool of us in daylight

Yeah we were dying of frustration
saying "lord lead me not into temptation"

But it's not easy when she turns you on
Since they've gone (i'm not sure about this too)

If you'll only--if you'll only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess

God, only god knows she won't let me rest
But i'm just so tired of this loneliness
I've become so tired of this loneliness

it could be "If you're lonely--if you're lonely say yes" but it's pretty indistinguisable

alyssa · 04-06-2008, 02:35 AM

Night makes a fool of us in daylight... interesting line.

gabby. · 04-06-2008, 03:01 AM

wow. brilliant. God, their songs are so freaking amazing.

Bonus_mosher · 04-06-2008, 03:10 AM

Leaked version lyrics:

Now my back's on the line
my back's on the ropes

But night makes a fool of us in daylight

Yeah we were dying of frustration
saying "Lord lead me not into temptation"

But it's not easy when she turns you on
Since they gone (???)

If you'll only, if you'll only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess

God, only God knows I'm trying my best
But I'm so tired of this lonelinenes

(Hey!)

So, up they picked me by the big toe (???)
I was held from the rooftop then they let go

There's only screaming
let the windows down
as I come to the ground

If you'll only, if you'll only say yes
Whether you will's anybody's guess

God, only God knows she won't let me rest
but I'm just so tired of this loneliness
I've become so tired of this loneliness

I think that's it!

I heard "crumble" to the ground instead of "come to the ground", but maybe ive been listening to AROBTTH too much

Just patched it up a bit

Ultravioletlight25 · 10-06-2008, 09:27 PM

I just corrected the lyrics based on the lyrics contained in Album booklet of the Japan CD.

ivet · 11-03-2009, 12:53 AM

That line you guys keep missing is "SIN STAY GONE"
