11am Lyrics Artist(Band):Incubus
The garbage truck beeps as it backs up And I start my day thinking about what I've thrown away. Could I push rewind? The credits traverse, signifying the end But I missed the best part. Could we please go back to start? Forgive my indecision Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side But, then again, a day will come when I want off that ride. Eleven am, By now you would think that I would be up But my bedsheets shade the heat of choices I've made And what did I find? I never thought I could want someone so much 'Cause now you're not here and I'm knee deep in that old fear. Forgive my indecision... I am only a man. Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side But, then again, a day will come when I want off that ride. Twelve pm and my dusty telephone rings. Heavy head up from my pillow, who could it be? I hope its you. Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side But, then again, the day has come and I want off that ride.

Review about 11am agreed | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/9/2007 I agree "What I think it means" person | Reviewer: Jess | 12/4/2007 Yeah, to me this is a song of great deliberation and indecision - it's not so much about the actual relationship than the choice he has to make about whether or not he wants to be "back in the ride" so to speak. In the beginning, it is obvious he wishes to try over, but as the song continues, we can see he thinks that she must always be right, even when no one backs her up:- "Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side" As the song progresses, so does time and so does his feeling of helplessness and loss:- "By now you would think that I would be up But my bedsheets shade the heat of choices I've made I never thought I could want someone so much" Perhaps he is afraid of being alone again, left without someone to help him make his choices and decisions in life. Each verse shows a deeper side to his longing, whereas the chorus indicates his feelings of inadaquecy and indecision. This sense of juxtaposition in the song shows Boyd's depth of understanding about what a relationship can do to you when it ends. At the end, we are left with the most powerful of messages in the song, and it's simply by changing 'will' to 'has' and 'when' to 'and'. These are definite words, and imply that he has finally made his desicion - he can't be in a relationship with the significant other. corrections =) | Reviewer: melancholy-doll | 9/27/2007 Seven am; The garbage truck beeps as it backs up And I start my day thinking about what I've thrown away. Could I push rewind? All the credits rolled up signifying the end But I missed the best part. Could we please go back to the start? Forgive my indecision Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side But, then again, the day will come when I want off that ride.

What I think it means | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/26/2007 Really great song. Wonderful lyrics. The meaning I take from this is song is somewhat different from the views that were posted here. I think this is about someone (let's say a guy) who broke up with his girlfriend, a decision that wasn't very well thought through. "...the heat of choices I've made." He is regretting it, because he now feels alone, like he didn't enjoy any of it, and kinda afraid. But (and here's where I think my opinion is a bit different from the other posted here)I think he isn't sure whether he really wants to (try) and get back with her, because, in every chorus he says: "Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side", like he knows from experience that she doesn't need him, or anyone for that matter.He isn't so sure he wants to be back to that. I think this is a sign of the indecision he refers. He knows that someday, he'll have enough of it "a day will come when I want off that ride." And the fact that he calls the relationship a "ride" isn't a very good sign he enjoyed it. I think the whole song is about that conflict and how that day passes with him just lying in bed, conflicted with the decision he has to make. He really misses her, but he knows she doesn't need him. The way the lyrics are put together gives me the impression that he is giving away to regret, but, with every chorus, he snaps out of it, realising that maybe that relationship wasn't doing him any good, that he made the right choice. And I think what really ends that conflict, what makes him make a choice, is the phone call, because after that (and an instrumental part that really divides the rest of the lyrics from the fist part)he finally says : "the day HAS come and I want off that ride." He decides to really put and end to it and walk away. He's had enough of it, the dillema and the relationship, and is finally breaking free of it. It's kinda liberating. That's my view, anyway. To answer tash, I think it's a guitar with a muted effect. screwed up | Reviewer: jordan | 8/5/2007 This song is me, and i am in the same position... I broke up with my ex and have regretted it for the past year.... most of you have it wrong when you look at this line "Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side But, then again, the day has come and I want off that ride." It means that it doesnt matter who your with when you still regret breaking up with the one girl that was right for you but wont take you back, no one is ever good enough for you.. And the day has come and you want off the ride of comparing every woman you meet to the true love that you screwed up that wont take you back.... 11am review | Reviewer: ridwan | 6/17/2007 i love this song.one of my best.this band is one of the best in the world.n the tone of this song is fantastic.that really touch inside my heart.very good lyric So good it hurts | Reviewer: Ryan | 6/16/2006 Yet another excellent song from one of my favorite bands of all time. I've recently been through a breakup and can identify 100% with this song. As for my personal ideas of what he means between the two lines in the chorus...: "Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side" -Most of us will try and justify and qualify the break-up, as a way of holding back the tears and sometimes coming on as, "Oh, really? I don't care, I'm better off without you!" This line is his way of saying something positive about his situation after the break-up, but... "But, then again, a day will come when I want off that ride." -He'd rather be happy then right. He knows that, no matter how much he tries to hide, he will always/eventually remember what he's lost and he doesn't want to stay alone, even if he's "always first". The last line of: "But, then again, the day has come and I want off that ride." signifies that he's saying, "To hell with my pride, I still love you, please forgive me." Music has a funny way of speaking so much more than simple words. Review 11am | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/8/2006 It's an amazingly deep song...the beginning is instrumental is great. The lyrics are really good too...he sings it like he means it and the lyrics have meaning too. Really good. 11am lyrics | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/21/2005 I love the song but I wonder about those people who did break up with someone, regretted it and actually tried to get back with the person. I doubt any did, even whoever wrote the song (I assume Brandon) I wonder if that's the meaning of his last line, "The day has come.." rather than the previous lines "The day will come." The line that I really don't get, is "But then again, you're always first when no one's on your side" Who's you, first in what, and who's side is this person not on. And I also assume the "ride" is the relationship. I've tried to figure it out, but if anyone could tell me, that would be great. ? | Reviewer: tash | 5/25/2005 i love this song so much but wondering what is that instrument in the beginning of the song...kinda like a muted violin...or something..ok im not very instrumental but seriously what is it....
