I know i pimp them just a little too much, but not only is the newest album (Snakes and Arrows. go and buy it. IT IS AMAZING ) their best one yet, Rush really speaks for me sometimes. Like here. This is how i view my love life. I think i'm the world's worst significant other (i despise the words girlfriend and boyfriend, in fact, i think those are my least two favorite words in the english language) i think i'm cold and distant and prickly... i don't think i give enough of myself. i hold back too much of what i want to say and do. i'm just that way, though i wasn't always, though i don't think someone who was broken that early can ever be completely right... but i'm trying.
for you.
even though i know it isn't happily ever after and probably won't ever be, i'm trying, if only you knew how hard it was, how steeply uphill this climb.but i shall try harder then ever before.
for you.
"Cold Fire"
It was long after midnight
When we got to unconditional love
She said, 'Sure, my heart is boundless
But don't push my limits too far'
I said, 'If love was so transcendent
I don't understand these boundaries'
She said, 'Just don't disappoint me
You know how complex women are'
I'll be around
If you don't let me down too far
I'll be around
If you don't let me down
It was just before sunrise
When we started on traditional roles
She said, 'Sure, I'll be your partner
But don't make too many demands'
I said, 'If love has these conditions
I don't understand those songs you love'
She said, 'This is not a love song
This isn't fantasyland'
Don't go too far
A phosphorescent wave on a tropical sea is a cold fire
Don't cross the line
The pattern of moonlight on the bedroom floor is a cold fire
Don't let me down
The flame at the heart of a pawnbroker's diamond is a cold fire
Don't break the spell
The look in your eyes as you head for the door is a cold fire
I'll be around
If you don't push me down too far
I'll be around
If you don't push me down
Love is blind if you are gentle
Love can turn to a long, cold burn...
