"Please don't tell me that I'm dreamin' when all I ever wanted was to dream another sunset with you"
-Mayday Parade:Jamie All Over

I love this because it is sooo sweet, but really sad at the same time.
I like to define my moods by the music that I listen to at the moment, so can you guess what mood I'm in when I'm listening to Paramore: Misery Business?

"Please don't tell me that I'm dreamin' when all I ever wanted was to dream another sunset with you."

if you've had to feel the fear and all."

(This would be the one that gets me the most. the 'if you're had to feel the fear, it's not your fault' i think's very true.)


"I swear,
The riders on the tube tie razors to their elbows,
The riders on the tube hide cold coal in their billfolds,
The riders on the tube will hide cocaine in their shell toes,
And, yes, yes, yes, man,
They'll novocaine their hellos."

Shadows from your saxophone, the surly lady in tremor
The stars that climb from her bowels
Those stars make towers on vowels...
You'll never see that you had all of me
You'll never see the poetry you stirred in me
Of all the stars I've seen that shine so brightly
I've never known or felt in myself so rightly"
Kate Bush, "The Saxophone Song"

I feel I've gotta get up on the roof!
I feel I need to be up on the roof!
I wanna be up, up on the roof!"

"Strange tension in the harbor tonight
I watch the rich girls down on Duke St. pass me by
That pass me by
Now the nausea's
In my guts
And I'm wrestling with doubt
The kind you get when your heroes
Sell you out
And as I watch the drawbridge come down
There's mass extinction
On my mind
Extinction on my mind
Extinction on my mind
Extinction
On my mind
Human cruelty stains my thoughts jet black
I've got this feeling
Like things have gone too far and now we can't get back"
