Everything I'm Not

by The Veronicas- i tend to randomly discover songs that i already have and really love them right off the bat. here is one of those songs:

oh no
don't go changing
that's what you told me from the start
throught you were something different
that's when it all just fell apart
like you're so perfect
and i can't measure up
well i'm not perfect
just all messed up

(chorus)
i was losing myself to somebody else
but now i see
i don't wanna pretend
so this is the end of you and me
cause the girl that you want
she was tearing us apart
cause she's everything
everything i'm not

it's not like i need somebody
telling me where i should go at night
don't worry you'll find somebody
someone to tell how to live their life
cause your so perfect
and no one measures up
yeah all by yourself
you're all messed up

(chorus)

now wait a minute
because of you
i never knew all the things that i had
hey don't you get it
i'm not going anywhere with you tonight
cause this is my life

(chorus)

but now i see
i don't want to pretend
so this is the end of you and me
cause the girl you want
she was tearing us apart
cause she's everything
everything i'm not

Soco Amaretto Lime

by Brand New- this song pretty much described my summer last year. i was listening to it earlier and it brought back a lot of memories of special place i like to call Parquay :)

you and me were kings over the parkway tonight
i'm gonna stay eighteen forever
so we can stay like this forever
and we'll never miss a party
cause we keep them going constantly
and we'll never have to listen
to anyone about anything
cause its all been done and its all been said
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get

the heck out of this town
find some conversation
the low fuel lights been on for days
it doesnt mean anything
ive got another 500, 'nother 500 miles
before we shut this engine down
we shut it down

(you're just jealous cause i'm young and in love)
eighteen forever
(your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation)
so we can stay like this forever
(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)
and we'll never miss a party
(and you're tearing up your photos cause you wanna forget... its over)
cause we keep them going constantly
(you're just jealous cause i'm young and in love)
and we'll never have to listen
(your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation)
to anyone about anything cause it's all been done
(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)
and it's all been said
(and you're tearing up your photos cause you wanna forget... its over)
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get

just jealous cause we're young and in love
you're just jealous cuz we're young and in love
you're just jealous cuz we're young and in love

You Be The Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground, I'll Be The Wings That Keep Your Heart In The Clouds

by Mayday Parade- saw these guys in concert a few days ago: AMAZING! i listened to this song today and decided to do a post on this one

and honestly, i have been begging for answers
that you and only you can give to me
a voice crying loud
i've been crying for days now
and as i start to run, i stop to breathe
and i was nearly scared to death
why you left in paragraphs
the words were nearly over us
you stop and turn and grab your bags

(chorus)
and i'll be here by the ocean
just waiting for proof that there's sunsets and silhouette dreams
all my sand castles fall like the ashes of cigarettes
and every waves drags me to sea
i could stand here for hours
just to ask God the question, "is everyone here make-believe?"
with a tear in His voice, He said, "Son, that's the question."
does this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me

as hours move to minutes
and minutes take longer to break
i will be desperately awaiting
but my tongue wont fall apart
and we've been sitting here for hours
all alone and in the dark

so let me think of how to word it
is it too soon to say 'perfect'?
if i could find another thirty minutes somewhere
i'm sure everything would find me
all thats left is just to sing

(chorus)

and if you sing to me sweet until then
i may never sail Virginia again
and as this current moves slow for me
this much you must know of me again
and i'll have you know im scared to death

tell me once again
that you'll love me to the death
and should i die, you swear that you will come for me
as i fade away, you reach out your hand
and please don't let me go
and please don't let me go

(chorus)

does this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me?
