In the end, it will all make sense
My favorite Fall Out Boy Lyrics:
I'll be stuck fixated on one star
When the world is crashing down
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
Sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well
the only thing worse than not knowing
Is you thinking that I don't know
I don't blame you for being you
But you can't blame me for hating it
Strike us like matches
'Cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the
Scars and stories, not the fame
The sounds of this small town
Make my ears hurt
I'm two quarters and a heart down
And I don't want to forget how your voice sounds
These words are all I have so I'll write them
So you need them just to get by
Why don't you show me
The little bit of spine
You've been saving
For his mattress, Love
Now talking's just a waste of breath
And living's just a waste of death
And why put a new address on the same old loneliness?
And this is you and me and me and you
Until we've got nothing left
I found the cure to growing older
And you're the only place that feels like home
Douse yourself in cheap perfume it's
So fitting, so fitting of the way you are
You can't cover it up
They call kids like us vicious and carved out of stone
But for what we've become, we just feel more alone
Always weigh what I've got against what I left
So progress report: I am missing you to death
And I want to be known for my hits, not just my misses
I took a shot and didn't even come close
At trust and love and hope
And my back has been breaking from this heavy heart
So wear me like a locket around your throat
I'll weigh you down I'll watch you choke
'Cause I swear I'd burn this city down to show you the light
'Cause I'll keep singing this lie if you keep believing it
We're traveled like gypsies only with worse luck and far less gold
We're the kids you used to love but then we grew old
We're the lifers, here 'til the bitter end
Condemned from the start, ashamed of the way
The songs and the words own the beating of our hearts
I've got a sunset in my veins
And I need to take a pill to make this town feel okay
The best part of "believe" is the "lie"
Love never wanted me
But I took it anyway
Dashboard Confessional:
And she made you better than you'd ever been before
And she told you bad things you wished you could change
In the lazy summer
She said No one is alone the way you are alone
And you held her looser than you would’ve if you ever couldve known
Some things tie your life together
With slender threads of things to treasure
Days like that should last and last and last
This air is blessed, you share with me.
My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me?
So I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury, or wear as jewelry.
Whichever you prefer.
Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember.
Always remember the sound of the stereo.
The dim of the soft lights.
The scent of your hair, that you twirled in your fingers.
And the time on the clock, when we realized "It's so late!"
And this walk that we share together.
And you kissed me like you meant it.
And I knew...that you meant it.
Please send me anything
But signals that are mixed
Cause I can't read
Your rolling eyes
Close lipped
Another goodnight kiss
Is robbed of all it's passion,
Your grip
Another time, is slack
It leaves me feeling empty.
So what's another day
When I can't bear
These nights of thoughts
Of going on without you
Yellowcard:
Even if I wanted to
I don't think that I'd get to you
There's nothing I can say to you to make you feel alive again
Hope you wonder where I sleep at night
Cause I feel like I'm inside out
You got me upside down
Maybe I was holding on too tight
We'll be miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside
You're always in my heart
I'd give it up for just one more day with you
Here I go... Scream my lungs out...
And try to get to you...
You are my only one...
I let go... But there's just no one
who gets me like you do...
You are my only... My only one...
So you are probably starting to wonder what all of this is about... These lyrics are so much more than words to me. They are inspiring. They get to me... I finally figured out why I listen to the music I do... Its all about the lyrics. In my realization of how much lyrics mean to me, I figured out what I REALLY want to do. Now, this may never happen, but I want to be a lyricist. I feel like I have something to say and it would have so much more of an impact in song form. I have no talent for writing music, so I am going to try the words. Songs are poetry to music, and I love to write poetry... Perhaps this is all just a dream. I think I have a shot... At least some day. I am still going to focus on journalism... Just maybe also write some lyrics that may make me a lot of money some day (*fingers crossed*)...
I hope that maybe one of the lines I posted is more than just a line from a song...
