the way I love you
I can’t get to know you
trying to tell me to wait
but I can’t wait

Too cold for you to keep her,
too hot for you to leave her…
I just wanna dance
I don’t really care
so I streamed their album on Spotify because I liked “It’s Time”, but somehow I didn’t take notice of this song. then I heard it in the trailer for “The Host” when I was at the movies to watch “Warm Bodies” and I was like, “Whoa, what song is that?” only to look it up and realize I must have already heard it since I had listened to the whole album. I guess I get so far in the zone at work that I don’t even hear the songs I’m listening to, but this song is amaze balls.
I’m waking up
I feel it in my bones
I’m radioactive
I bought this album the day it was available and I cried when I heard this song. If I think about it too much I will start to cry at any given moment.
I’m from the Bronx and fortunately my family always lived in better parts of town. But that was because my mother grew up in the South Bronx in the 60s, where all sorts of terrible things happened to her.
As a teenager I made my way South, to see everything I didn’t know. I met a boy and fell in love and then watched his environment swallow him whole. The public housing and the drugs and the brokenness… it’s real.
Let me first say that you’re so charming.
Don’t you think you could use someone to charm?
I will sit back, I will laugh; I will laugh again.
And maybe you’d like someone to greet you at the door after a long, long day. I’m here for you, if you let me.
Funny thing is I’m trying hard and it’s not like me to get so caught up in things, but I won’t quit. I won’t quit until you smile at me.
And I just cry if you don’t stop to say hello.
It hurts the longer this goes.
I’d cry for you, if you let me.
I will be the one you say goodnight to…
this kid is out of control though
and if you can find it, don’t let go
hold it tight; keep it close
So… when this song came out I wasn’t really feeling it. At first glance it has teenage angst and I was over teenage angst back when I was a teenager. The chorus sounded melodramatic; I heard “I don’t want to fall in love… I think I’d have a heart attack,” and my first thought was, “That escalated quickly.”
But the verses! I went from wondering if anyone could really be so hell bent on not falling in love to feeling like whoever wrote these lyrics must be my personal prophet.
never put my love out on the line
never said yes to the right guy
never had trouble getting what I want
but when it comes to you I’m never good enough
never break a sweat for the other guys
when you come around I get paralyzed
and every time I try to be myself
it comes out wrong like a cry for help
it’s just not fair
pain is more trouble than love is worth
I gasp for air
it feels so good, but you know it hurts
you make me glow
Out on the farthest edge
There in the silence
You were there
My faith was torn to shreds
Heart in the balance
And You were there
Always faithful, always good
You still have me
You still have my heart
I thought I had seen the end
Everything broken
But You were there
I’ve wandered at heaven’s gates
I’ve made my bed in hell
You were there still
Always faithful, always good
You still have me
You still have my heart
You have me, You have me
You have my heart completely
You have me, You have me
You have my heart completely
I’ve never lived with anyone, but firstly, I think this song is beauty.
Secondly, I know too well that feeling - wondering what changed.
And thirdly, I believe it’s the hardest thing to learn in life: which bridges to cross and which to burn.
now he’s moving close
my heart in my throat
I won’t say a word,
but I think he knows
