I've waited for this moment
All my life and more
And now I see so clearly
What I could not see before.
The time is now or never
This chance won't come again
Throw caution and myself into the wind.
There's no promise of safety with these secondhand wings
But I'm willing to find out what impossible means.
A leap of faith.
Parody of an angel
Miles above the sea
I hear the voice of reason
Screaming after me
"You've flown far too high boy now you're too close to the sun,
Soon your makeshift wings will come undone"
But how will I know limits from lies if I never try?
There's no promise of safety with these secondhand wings
But I'm willing to find out what impossible means.
I'll climb through the heavens on feathers and dreams
'Cause the melting point of wax means nothing to me.
Nothing to me
Nothing to me
I will touch the sun or I will die trying.
Die Trying.
Fly on these secondhand wings
Willing to find out what impossible means
I'll climb through the heavens on feathers and dreams
'Cause the melting point of wax means nothing to me
Nothing to me
Means nothing to me
Miles above the sea. |

Once again I wake up alone on the wrong side of my bed
And once again you begin your dancing nakedly on the right side of my head
It’s for a lack of better words that I can hardly speak my soul
And I’m feeling what I’m feeling when I’m feeling when it’s time to lose control, my love
And once again we’re off to war
But I can’t agree with what we’re fighting for
And that’s not all, because every time she smiles I see her soul
When I smile what a wonderful life
It’s true I used to try
But then I gave up, I learned it doesn’t really matter
What I do ain’t enough to appease or to please
All my well meaning deeds seem to all go up in smoke
And every time I look into these smoke filled skies I wonder what she’s doing, why I volunteered to die
But tonight I will fight for my life so I might see my wife again
I explained to her that I’d be back
When I gave my word that the fighting wouldn’t last
But despite my pact, I know that every breath I draw might be my last
And I smile, it’s been a wonderful life
Goddamn, another summer in the city and
I never seen a girl look so pretty as you
When you smile oh you’re wild for a while
I was hoping I might see you again
And I know that everybody is willing to go
And I find I’ll turn it all and leave on a dime
If I leave tonight, screw what’s right, I can make it home by dawn
And I was told, “Boy, prepare for war!”
But they failed to mention what I’d be fighting for
So I fight for this:
The fact that as I pass away, I’ll feel her kiss
When I smile, what a wonderful life
Me oh my, what a wonderful life
Oh, to die for such a wonderful life |

You can tell Gayle, if she calls,
That I'm famous now for all of these rock and roll songs.
And even if that's a lie, she should've given me a try.
When were kids on the field of the first day of school.
I would've been her fool.
And I would've sang out her name in those old high school halls.
You tell that to Gayle, if she calls.
And you can tell Jane, if she writes,
That I'm drunk off all these stars and all these crazy Hollywood nights.
That's total deceit, but she should've married me.
And tell her I spent every night of my youth on the floor,
Bleeding out from all these wounds.
I would've gotten her a ride out of that town she despised.
You tell that to Janey, if she writes.
But boys will be boys and girls have those eyes
That will cut you to ribbons sometimes.
And all you can do is just wait by the moon
And bleed if it's what she says you oughta do.
You remind Anna, if she asks why,
That a thief stole my heart while she was making up her mind.
I heard she lives in Brooklyn with the cool,
Goes crazy over that New York scene on 7th Avenue.
But I used to wait at the diner, a million nights without her,
Praying she won't cancel again tonight.
And the waiter served my coffee with a consolation sigh.
You remind Anna, if she asks why.
You know it's hard to tell you this.
Oh it's hard to tell you this.
Here's looking at you, Kid.
because i have this song stuck on repeat in my head. |

because all the cool kids are doing it. first line to a bunch of songs on shuffle, guess 'em. actually went for the first few lines because i know some of them you'll get instantly anyway and some you won't get at all.
1. Hey, where have you gone? You used to be the one That we looked up to
2. No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes
3. Am I alone in here? Am I alone in here? Am I alone in here?
4. Take four days to get to like me, but two to wanna leave.
5. Since the day of my departure I've been stumbling through reality I play my symphony in reverse In search for that special path
6. They turn the lights down low, In shadows hiding from the world, Only coming out when it gets cold
7. I wonder if we'll smile in our coffins while loved ones mourn the day
8. When syllables go soundless The sensation kills you To the brink of burning
9. You've crossed the line, you're running in circles, now you've lost all self control. You medicate so you can fall asleep. Your mind just won't shut down.
10. There's a place up ahead and I'm goin' just as fast as my feet can fly Come away, come away if you're goin', leave the sinkin' ship behind.
11. Old man river said you can go your own way if you just leave him alone
12. Let's take a blast to the moon baby, I sit around wishing you well
13. Show no serenity For medicating thoughts of a real life Beyond the ruins lies our victory just out of reach
14. Run, desire Run, this sexual being Run him like a blade To and through the heart
15. I float above and these wings catch, and your sky hold you so beautiful. And i understand if all this comes falling because my sky already has.
16. As your will is bent and broken and every vision has been cast into the wind
17. We're gonna play you a song, a little bit of rock and roll You've gotta let yourself go, the band's gonna take control
18. I laid the night before me, unraveled that tangles of my heart
19. So you think, of what it could've been. When time was all you lost, it keeps burning through your head.
20. One more song for the broken hearted, A dream so true that soon departed
GO GO GO |

"If — and this is a big if — Blink-182 were ever to re-form, it would have to be the most amazing, ridiculous, mind-blowing show and tour ever. I feel like, as bitter as our breakup was, we stepped back at the top of our game, and we'd have to come back even stronger and better than before."

We are the boys from Little Eden
We are the hardest Saturday nights
Drank from the fountains of the fireworks
Sweat and bone for a better life
We like our choruses sung together
We like our arms in our brothers' arms
Call every girl we ever met Maria
But I only love Virginia's heart
And we sing with our heroes, thirty-three rounds per minute
We're never going home until the sun says we're finished
And I'll love you forever if I ever love at all
Wild hearts, blue jeans, & white t-shirts
With wild hearts, blue jeans, & white t-shirts
Some things, babe, they never told you
Some things papa doesn't like
Spend a lifetime just to get over
You always said my mama tried
Still we sing with our heroes, thirty-three rounds per minute
We're never going home until the sun says we're finished
And I'll love you forever if I ever love at all
Wild hearts, blue jeans, & white t-shirts
With wild hearts, blue jeans, & white t-shirts
So tonight I'll call you from a fourth-street payphone
But I'll sleep on the beach if I ain't got a ride
Someday I'll buy you that house on Cookman
We could sleep on the beach all night
Sleep on the beach if we ain't got a ride
Sleep on the beach all night
Sleep on the beach all night
Sleep on the beach if we ain't got a ride...
because i have that song stuck in my head.
sleep time now.

"A million times a day I try to fail or fail to try.
It's an easy way to live, It's a lifeless way to die.
I used to hear "Son, you've got a lot to learn."
I used to hear a lot... like the slow dull burn
Of paper and tobacco and the bad breath smoke singin'
"Hey man, lemme tell you a joke."
"Well what's attached to a leash that it made itself?"
"The punchline is the way that you've been fuckin' yourself." |

[Jun. 26th, 2008|10:50 pm] |
in the face of change
that's when she turned to me and said,
"i'm not sure anymore..."
and there amidst the waves
and the cloudless skies
that blanket the year before
i watch my life wash a shore
have you ever been a part of something
that you thought would never end?
and then of course it did
have you ever felt the weight inside you
pulling away inside your skin?
and then something had to give
[Chorus:]
now the lines are drawn
is this feeling gone?
the best parts of this have come and gone
and now that is all this is
with the reasons clear
we'll spend another year
without direction, full of fear
and now things will be different
there's nothing simple when it comes to you and i
always something in this everchanging life
and it probably always will
now that time is getting harder to come by
the same arguments are always on our mind
we've killed this slowly fading light
[Chorus:]
now the lines are drawn
is this feeling gone?
the best parts of this have come and gone
and now that is all this is
with the reasons clear
we'll spend another year
without direction, full of fear
but now things will be different
and now something has kept me here too long
and you can't leave me if i'm already gone
well now something (hey) has kept me here too long
and you can't leave me (hey) if i'm already gone
now let's say that something (hey) has kept me here too long
and you can't leave me (hey) if i'm already gone
make the same mistakes we're always hanging on
break the promises we're always leaning on
all this time spent waking up
{now i} keep this line open to get this call from you
{as you} speak the words that keep me coming back to you
now this time it's all different
now something has kept me here too long and now i'm gone...
one of my favorite songs, EVAR. |

"In fields where nothing grew but weeds,
I found a flower at my feet,
Bending there in my direction,
I wrapped a hand around its stem,
I pulled until the roots gave in,
Finding there what I’d been missing,
But I know…
So I tell myself, I tell myself it’s wrong.
There’s a point we pass from which we can’t return.
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm.
All because of you,
I haven’t slept in so long.
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean,
Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down,
I’ll follow your voice,
All you have to do is shout it out.
Inside my hands these petals browned,
Dried up, fallen to the ground
But it was already too late now.
I pushed my fingers through the earth,
Returned this flower to the dirt,
So it could live. I walked away now.
But I know…
Not a day goes by that I don’t feel this burn.
There’s a point we pass from which we can’t return.
I felt the cold rain of the coming storm.
All because of you,
I haven’t slept in so long,
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean,
Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down,
I’ll follow your voice,
All you have to do is shout it out.
All because of you…
All because of you…
All because of you,
I haven’t slept in so long.
When I do I dream of drowning in the ocean,
Longing for the shore where I can lay my head down,
Inside these arms of yours.
All because of you,
I believe in angels.
Not the kind with wings,
No, not the kind with halos,
The kind that bring you home,
When home becomes a strange place.
I’ll follow your voice,
All you have to do is shout it out."
I really like this song. |

Watch the stars, turn you to nothing.
Now blush and smile as they whisk you away.
Part your lips a bit more,
I'll swallow your fear,
I will show you how all the bite marks impress a need to be here,
I need to see
City lights like rain,
Dance and explode.
Fall upon debutants reeling from nights that
Kiss and control all of our broken hearts.
Velvet burns the wrists while restraining.
You blushed and smiled and said you would stay.
One more time steal my breath,
I'll feed you the sky,
I will show you how.
Steal the glamour from death and before you die,
Oh, you should see
City lights like rain,
Dance and explode.
Fall upon debutants reeling from nights that
Kiss and control all of our broken hearts.
Our hearts, our hearts.
"We all want to die like movie stars," you said as you jumped from the height of our cutting room floor. While above us, glowing, exploding, our dreams burst forth in light and death. Hold me and tell me "We'll burn like stars. We'll burn as we fall. Watch as city light dance for us."
City lights like rain,
Dance and explode.
Fall upon debutants reeling from nights that
Kiss and control all of our broken hearts. |

I hate this, being stuck and not being able to act because I don't even know what I want. I think about one thing, but then something else pops up and I don't know what I want anymore. It sucks, because I have no problem doing what I want, I've proven that, but when I cant even decide what I want to do... |
