Go

by Boys Like Girls- a recent love of mine, this song made me think a lot about the stuff im dreaming of right now and how there's too much im holding onto and that made i just need to get up and go take a chance and be strong, just like the song says

little change of the heart, little light in the dark
little hope that you just might find your way up out of here
'cause you've been hiding for days, wasted and wasting away
but i got a little hope, today you'll face your fears

yeah, i know it's not easy
i know that it's hard, follow the lights to the city

(chorus)
get up and go, take a chance and be strong
or you could spend your whole life holding on
don't look back, just go, take a breath, move along
or you could spend your whole life holding on
you could spend your whole life holding on

believe the tunnel can end, believe your body can mend
yeah, i know you can make it through 'causei believe in you
so let's go put up a fight, let's go make everything alright
go on and take a shot, go give it all you got

oh, yeah, i know it's not easy
i know that it's hard, it's not always pretty

(chorus)

don't wanna wake up to the telephone ring
are you sitting down? i need to tell you something
enough is enough, you can stop waiting to breathe
and don't wait up for me

get up and go, take a chance and be strong
you could spend your whole life holding on
and don't look back, just go, take a breath, move along
you could spend your whole life holding on

(chorus)

don't spend your whole life holding on, yeah

Dear Angel

by April Sixth- another one of those randomly discoverd bands with a song that i just fall in love with

dear angel of mine,
where do i start to express how i feel?
well, my love's gone blind,
now all that i feel is what i hear.
your words rip and tear
through my heart so weak and pure
now i find myself wanting to die.

i bleed for the second time tonight
holding, well, all that's in my mind.
if only my love could be with you
if only this pain,
this pain die too.
i'll break you away!

as i sit here alone
thinking about everything that you've said.
you know since i'm alone,
well, maybe after all i was better off dead.
cause without you
my life's gone down.
what do i do when i find myself wanting to die?

isn't strange how you became my enemy?
isn't strange how you became my enemy?
from my angel to my enemy... and i don't know.

i'll break you away, away, away from me
i'll break you away, away, away from me.. and i don't know

sincerely, yours

Belle of the Boulevard

by Dashboard Confessional- this song has been stuck in my head for 3 days straight now, and i dont know why

down in a local bar
out no the boulevard
the sound of an old guitar
is saving you from sinking
it's a long way down
it's a long way

back like you never broke
you tell a dirty joke
he touches your leg and thinks he's getting close
for now you let him just this once
just for now
and just like that-- it's over

(chorus)
don't turn away
dry your eyes, dry your eyes
don't be afraid
keep it all inside, all inside
when you fall apart
dry your eyes, dry your eyes
life is always hard for the belle of the boulevard

in all your silver rings
and all your silken things
that song you softly sing--is keeping you from breaking
it's a long way down
it's a long way
back here you never loved
you've shaked the shivers off
you take a drink to get your courage up
can you believe it
just this once
just for now
and just like that
it's over

(chorus)

please hold on--it's alright
please hole on--it's alright
please hold on

down in a local bar
out on the boulevard
the sound of an old guitar
is saving you

So Much Love

by The Rocket Summer- i saw this song live at Warped Tour this summer. i really like it, it speaks for itself, but you really need to hear the song to get the full effect.

hats need a bat, like awake needs asleep
like a pen needs a page, to re-write you need a mistake
oh, yeah

hearts need a mind, like a clock needs the time
like white needs black, if you leave i hope you need to come back

oh, i swear, i know, i believe it
oh, i can't stop hearing all the singing
oh, my soul has never had this feeling
and it feels like gold

you got so much love in you
you got so much love in you
i'm amazed that i'm talkin' to you
you look the songs that ive heard my whole life coming true

strike all the bells, hit 'em hard make 'em all yell
celebrate that you made, lock us up yeah incarcerate oh!

oh, i swear, i know, i believe it
oh, i can't stop hearing all the singing
oh, my soul has never had this feeling
and it feels like so, so

so much love in you
you got so much love in you
i'm amazed that i'm talkin' to you
you look like the songs that i've heard my whole life coming true

you got so much love in you
you got so much love in you
i'm amazed that i'm talkin' to you
you look like the songs oh, oh, oh, oh

you got so much love in you
you got so much love in you
i'm amazed that i'm talkin' to you
you look like the songs that i've heard my whole life coming true

Even Now

by Dashboard Confessional- just another one of those songs that stick out to me. it really reminds me of a boy that i fell in love with and i wont see for 2 years. i wrote a letter that i dont intend to ever send and this song just brought so back so many of my memories with him. also, this song is in a guy's perspective, i like to think of it as my boy saying this about me....

even now i can smell your clothes
freshly from the wash
still hot from the dryer

even now i can smell your skin
as i wrap you in a towel
lay you on the bed
and try to love you

even now i can feel your arms
i can feel your breath
i can hear your songs
and i always can find you again

even now i can feel your hand
gently over mine
with almost no weight at all

even now i can feel your eyes
watch me as i strum
much too late at night

even now i can see you smile
i can hear you hum
i can hear you sing
and i always can find you again

even in the dark of night
even in the lowest light
even as the world outside
is spinning, and spinning

even now i can feel your hair
blow across my cheek
as we sit in one of two chairs

even now i can feel your face
resting on my chest
wrestling for sleep
and failing at it

even now i can see you sleep
i can see you dream
i can see you fly
and i always can find you again
and i always can find you again
and i always can find you again
