Overlap

I should be either in bed or doing homework right now, but, alas, I am here, listening to the new Paramore album. More than a few of the songs have made me cry immensely, but, today, that doesn't mean much.

All I Wanted
--Paramore

Think of me when you're out
When you're out there
I'll beg you nice from my knees
And when the world treats you way too fairly
Well it's a shame I'm a dream

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I think I'll pace my apartment a few times
And fall asleep on the couch
Wake up early, to black and white re-runs
That escape from my mouth, oh

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I could follow you to the beginning
Just to relive the start
Maybe then we'd remember to slow down
At all of our favorite parts

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you


As weird as it sounds, this is encouraging. I've got to get my stuff together, I've got to get back to the person I want to be. On that note, Alice in Wonderland comes out March 5th, and I am immensely thrilled.

Where The Lines Overlap
--Paramore

Give me attention
I need it now
Too much distance
To measure it out
Out loud
Tracing patterns across a personal map
And making pictures where the lines overlap
Where the lines overlap

No one is as lucky as us
We’re not at the end but oh we already won
No one is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us

Call me over
Tell me how you got so far
Never making a single sound
I’m not used to it but I can learn
Nothing to it
I’ve never been happier
I've never been happier

No one is as lucky as us
We’re not at the end but oh we already won
No one is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us

Now I’ve got a feeling
If I sang this loud enough
You would sing it back to me
I’ve got a feeling
If I sang this loud enough
You would sing it back to me
I’ve got a feeling
I've got a feeling
You would sing it back to me
You would sing it back to me

No one is as lucky as us
We’re not at the end but oh we already won
No one is as lucky as us
Is as lucky as us
The posting of this second one is a result of me being intensely bi-polar
at the moment. Even if things aren't how I pictured they'd be,
at least I still have you. You pointed that out relentlessly this morning,
and I appreciate it. You're right, at least we still have something.
Not a lot of people can say that, and I'm really glad we can.
I just get get lost and confused, and, sometimes, I need to be
reminded of what matters. Thank you, for reminding me that you'll
always be here. Because, right now, that's what matters to me.

Just please, be consistent.

Things will be fine, as long as I can not let the little things get to me.
And now I'm just rambling...
