"Its all just a dream, I'll never wake up from"

I found a song. I've probably talked about this song before, but I don't think I've ever put it on my journal. Actually I'm pretty sure I've never put it on my journal, but I've been wrong before. Now that I think about it, I have two songs to put up here. They happen to be two of my favorites.

The World We Love by Jimmy Eat World

I got a story, it’s almost finished
All I need is someone to tell it to
Maybe that’s you

Our time is borrowed, spent too freely
Every minute I have, needs to be made up…but how?
I’m looking for a nice way to say “I’m Out.”
I want out.

I fall asleep with my friends around me
The only place I know I feel safe.
I’m gonna call this home.
The open road is still miles away
Ain’t nothin serious, we still have our fun
Oh, we had it once.

But windows open and close that’s just how it goes
Don’t it feel like sunshine after all?
The world we love forever gone?
We’re only just as happy, as everyone else seems to think
We are.

I’m in love with the ordinary.
I need a simple space to rest my head
And everything gets clear.
I’m a little ashamed for asking
For just a little help
It get’s me straight again
Helps me get over, over it

It might seem like a dream but it’s real to me
Don’t it feel like sunshine after all?
The world we love forever gone?
We’re only just as happy, as everyone else seems to think
We are.

You should see the canals are freezing
You should see me high
You should just be here
Be with me here.
It doesn’t seem there’s hope for me
I let you down
But I won’t give in now
Not for any amount.

Don’t it feel like sunshine after all?
The world we love forever gone?
We’re only just as happy, as everyone else thinks.

Now, don’t it feel like sunshine after all?
The world we love forever gone?
We’re only just as happy, as everyone else seems to think
We are.

And then we have...
These Ghosts, My hopes, the sand, the sea by Daphne Loves Derby

ive been searching desert lands
oh what a place to call home
the wind will wash away my traps
oh what a place to call home
ill do everything i can to hide the wounds on my feet to make myself look healthy
ohh what a place to call home, ohhh

please show me something that can shake my bones
i want to feel the feel thats through my veins
my hands are cold from holding on to hopes
even ghosts have gone away
its all the same

ive been sinking through deep seas
oh what a place to call home
the current sings a ghostly tune
oh what a place to call home
and ill walk with the phantoms of the sea,
listen to the whispers until i hear melodies
oh what a place to call home

please show me something that can shake my bones
i want to feel the feel thats through my veins
my hands are cold from holding on to hopes
even ghosts have gone away
its all the same

and i am a ghost of great
the sea
the sand
just a memory of something sweet
and ill say ive got everything i need
but the only thing i have got is thrill of holding my breath
this is me drifting out to sea
ohhhh what a place to call home

Yes, two of the best songs ever written. There are probably some of you that would probably say that my more recent musical tastes are depressing. Well...your probably right. But fortunatly, I'm not depressed...I'm massively confused. Ha...thats what I'm going to put in my mood. Yep that will work.
