Look to the past and remember and smile
And maybe tonight I can breathe for awhile
I’m not in the scene I think I’m falling asleep
But then all that it means is I’ll always be dreaming of you
“Feeling This” by blink-182

This is because I can spell konfusion with a k
And I like it
It’s to dying in another’s arms and why I had to try it
It’s to jimmy eat world and those nights in my carWhen the first star you see may not be a star
I’m not your star
Isn’t that what you said
What you thought this song meant

You are the smell before rain
You are the blood in my veins

This isn’t just goodbye, this is I can’t stand you
“No, It Isn’t” by +44

I’ve given a lot of thought of how to write you back this Fall
With every single letter, in every single word
There will be a hidden message about a boy that loves a girl
“There Is” by Box Car Racer

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room?
“Dark Blue” by Jack’s Mannequin

Last night, I fell in love without you.

A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I will never ask if you don’t ever tell me
I know you well enough to know you’ll never love me

You need him, I could be him
I could be an accident but I’m still tryin’
And that’s more than I can say for him

Am I who you think about in bed?
When the lights are dim and your hands are shaking as you’re sliding off your dress?

I tear my heart open
I sew myself shut
My weakness is
That I care too much
And my scars remind me
That the past is real
I tear my heart open
Just to feel

This may never start
I’ll tear us apart
Can I be your enemy?
Losing half a year
Waiting for you here
I’d be your anything

I won’t cross these streets until you hold my hand

And I don’t wanna forget how your voice sounds

So you need them just to get by

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” by Dashboard Confessional

Run, baby, run
Don’t ever look back
They’ll tear us apart
If you give them the chance
Don’t sell your heart
Don’t say we’re not meant to be
Run, baby, run
Forever we’ll be
You and me

That she had loved
If I were her, I’d paint my body

I’ve been waiting for this silence all night long
It’s just a matter of time

The promises I never kept?
I lie here shaking on this bed
Under the weight of my regrets

I’m drunk off your kiss
For another night in a row
This is becoming too routine for me

And it’s alright to pretend
That we still talk
It’s just for show, isn’t it?
It’s my fault that it fell apart

Look whats become of me
I’ve grown to love your disappearing acts
Do one more pretty please

As I’m swimming through the stereo
I’m writing you a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I rearrange the songs again
This mix could burn a hole in anyone
But it was you I was thinking of

I’m looking at you through the glass
Don’t know how much time has passed
Oh God, it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you that forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

Another day is going by
I’m thinking about you all the time
But you’re out there and I’m here waiting
And I wrote this letter in my head

But now you’re gone and I can’t think straight

You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start

Holding too tightly, afraid to lose control?

Has fallen apart right in front of you

But I can’t wait forever

The bible of none of the above
On a steady diet of
Soda pop and Ritalin
No one ever died for my sins in hell
As far as I can tell
‘Least the ones I got away with
“Jesus Of Suburbia” by Green Day

That’s when she said

I just want to save you
While there’s still something left to save’

But I’m not the answer
For the questions that you still have’

It never gets easy

The notes are old
They bend, they fold
And so do I to a new love

You would know that I’ve been waiting
So long
For someone almost just like you
But with attitude, I’m waiting
So come on

Rip right through me
Tears from eyes worn
Cold and sad
Pick me up now
I need you so bad

Sing me something soft
Sad and delicate
Or loud and out of key
Sing me anything

What’s the deal with my brain?
Why am I so obviously insane?
In a perfect situation
I let love down the drain
There’s the pitch, slow and straight
All I have to do is swing and I’m a hero
But I’m a zero
“Perfect Situation” by Weezer
