So don't fall in love,
There's just too much to lose.



Mayday Parade

My hands are sore
From tugging a rope
And pulling so hard
And trying to cope

I'm tugging the rope
I'm fighting for you
'Cause you're too hard to find
And too easy to lose

(it hurts)

I'm sorry dear, I hate this
You know I can't portray this
But I cannot escape this
I don't think you can break this

I'm quiet and I'm falling
I hear the echoes calling
The past just won't quit following
And the memories are haunting

Every time I see you it gets harder to breathe
So here I am, silently suffocating
Why does it hurt, and why do I bleed?
What if this isn't all that it's made out to be?

I don't understand how I could be what you choose
'Cause you're too hard to come by, and too easy to lose
It's like I'm standing with arms folded, saying, "Make your move."
Waiting for you to leave me, waiting to be used

Darling, it hurts, please take it away
I'm losing you every moment of every passing day
You're always here, but you never stay
I don't want these skies to be lonely and gray

Don't let me be--

please.

I'm a failure
Don't leave me again

I tried.

The Deep.

Here I am
Trapped and far
Willing to give anything
To be where you are

Down in the deep where lives are changed
Down where I left there not the same
Down in the deep where people praise
Down in the deep where I became

Down where I'd give anything to stay

Summer...

Some summers are spent
Lying in bed
Partying, watching TV
And hanging with friends

Sometimes you get bored
Like, "What's summer for?"
Then you lie on the sofa
Till they hear you snore

My summer's like
Nothing that I
Ever expected last year
On the drive

Now I'm choking on time
And trying to survive
And counting down days only
To again say goodbye

Laziness, no
More like, "where did he go"
And trying to distract myself
Until you get home

Dependent.

I'd better take those herbs
My day is about to go south

And I'm not gonna stand and wait
Not gonna leave it until it's much too late
On a platform, I'm gonna stand and say
That I'm nothing on my own
And I love you, please come home



Coldplay

It's okay.

It's okay
You can leave me
You can leave me again
But as the bus drags you away
You're still in my head
And I'll wish you were here
All over again
Darling, I'll smile
'Cause I can pretend
But I just had to tell you
How hard it's been
You were gone last week
That was last time
And I was proud of myself
Because I did just fine
Until Friday, that is
Friday was hard
Watching a movie
Under the stars
But this is not about Friday
This is about now
And right now I miss you
So come on back down
Unless you wanna be there
Unless you wanna stay
And maybe I need you here
But darling, it's okay
Nah, I know you wanna be home
And we both need you to stay
But have fun with the memories
Darling, it's okay

I realize I'm laughing
Just so I don't cry
Like one keeps on breathing
So that he won't die

And I've learned how to hold my own,
Dear.

Forever Frozen Still

So I'll keep you
Right in my pocket like you said to
Holding you close until you come through
Even though I'll be alone
I'll wait for you to come home

I feel you trying to be strong for me
But you and I will have to wait


You can't break my
You can't break my fall.

Imbalanced

Let me sink into the ground
I won't ever make a sound
I won't ever make a sound
I won't ever make a sound

Away From Me

I remember watching.  The sky above me was vast and dark, with the distant orbs of stars providing the only light.  "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" played in front of me.  In front of all of us.  I loved that movie.  I loved the people around me.  I was filled with love.  But I wanted to cry.
You were so far.  I mentally reached out, trying to find you.  Your face, your smile, your eyes floated in front of my mind.  Memories played.  Words you said.  Things you did.  You.
I had done a good job not missing you too much that week, and you were coming back the next day.  Yet, it was so hard.
The sky above me stretched on, holding both of us underneath.  I needed you there.  I needed you.  I tried reaching. I needed you.  I would've given anything to have you by my side again.  I searched the stars, I searched the sky.  But the stars are too far, and the sky's too wide.

"Dawn is coming,
"Open your eyes."

believe

This is never gonna go our way
If I'm gonna have to guess what's on your mind

Rock

I'm absorbing everything
So someone be strong for me

And.
Break.
