Death Cab For Cutie - I Will Follow You Into The Dark

Someday
When my life has passed me by
I lay around and wonder why
You were always there for me

One way
In the eyes of a passerby
I look around for another try
And fade away

Just close your eyes and I'll take you there
This place is warm without a care
We'll take a swim in the deep blue sea
I go to leave and you reach for me

Some say
Better things will come our way
No matter what they try to say
You were always there for me

Someway
When the sun begins to shine
I hear a song from another time
And fade away
And fade away

Just close your eyes and I'll take you there
This place is warm without a care
We'll take a swim in the deep blue sea
I go to leave and you reach for me

Someone said you tried too long
Someone said we got it all
Someone said we tried too long
Is there a place where I belong?

So far and so long
So far away
So far and so wrong
So far away, away, away

Some day
When my life has passed me by
I lay around and wonder why
You were always there for me

One way
In the eyes of a passerby
I look around for another try
And fade away

And fade away
And fade away
And fade away

Before I fall too fast
Kiss me quick, but make it last
So I can see how badly this will hurt me
When you say goodbye

Keep it sweet, keep it slow
Let the future pass, and don't let go
But tonight I could fall too soon
Into this beautiful moonlight

But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing, you've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
Your love is where I'm falling, but please don't catch me

See this heart won't settle down
Like a child running scared from a clown
I'm terrified of what you do
My stomach screams just when I look at you

Run far away so I can breathe
Even though you're far from suffocating me
I can't set my hopes too high
'Cause every hello ends with a goodbye

But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing, you've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
Your love is where I'm falling, but please don't catch me

So now you see why I'm scared
I can't open up my heart without a care
But here I go, it's what I feel
And for the first time in my life I know it's for real

But you're so hypnotizing
You've got me laughing while I sing, you've got me smiling in my sleep
And I can see this unraveling
Your love is where I'm falling so please don't catch me

If this is love, please don't break me
I'm giving up so just catch me

I should've been born in the fifties. And have my youth be in the 60s. I stand by that statement. Definitely born in the wrong place, and the wrong era. Nonetheless, thank God music is forever. So, je vous presente, Edith Piaf. C'est magnifique!

p.s: we've decided to take actual french classes after my A levels together. Exciting much? c: gotta keep the brain muscles working! plus this totally beats my "Teach Yourself: Beginner's French" which, I think I am okay at, just that the school acads takes precedence ): another reason to look forward to Novembre 26th.

When things get a little depressing, it always helps to listen to some good ole' french song....

I Try - Macy Gray
Games, changes and fears
When will they go from here
When will they stop
I believe that fate has brought us here
And we should be together
But we're not
I play it off but I'm dreamin of you
I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin.
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

I may appear to be free
But I'm just a prisoner of your love
I may seem alright and smile when you leave
But my smiles are just a front
I play it off but I'm dreamin of you
I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin
I try to say goodbye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

Here is my confession
May I be your possesion
Boy I need your touch
Your love kisses and such
With all my might I try
But this I can't deny
I play it off but im dreamin of you
I'll keep my cool but I'm fiendin
I try to say good bye and I choke
I try to walk away and I stumble
Though I try to hide it it's clear
My world crumbles when you are not near

and the stars fell out of the sky
and my tears rolled into the ocean
now i'm looking for a reason why
you even set my world into motion

'cause if you're not really here
then the stars don't even matter
now i'm filled to the top with fear
but it's all just a bunch of matter
'cause if you're not really here
then i don't want to be either
i wanna be next to you...

i looked up into the grey sky
and see a thousand eyes staring back
and all around these golden beacons
i see nothing but black

i feel a way of something beyond them
i don't see what i can feel
if vision is the only validation
then most of my life isn't real

'cause if you're not really here
then the stars don't even matter
now i'm filled to the top with fear
but it's all just a bunch of matter
'cause if you're not really here
then i don't want to be either
i wanna be next to you
black and gold
black and gold
black and gold

But it's true. Cause if you're not really here, then the stars don't even matter. 2 more days. I can't wait. Everyday I grow impatient, and every hour more excruciating than the last. It's not a big deal, really. I just can't wait. Cos it feels good to have you next to me. Two more days.

And if you ever need my hands
To carry you through heavy times
Or look in to your wondering eyes
To remind you what you are

Skyscraper
You define the skyline
Opposite the grapevine
Where crows and rumors fly

i love you for sharing this with me (:

You may think its a waste of 12 minutes of your life, but you're wrong. It's the best pick-me-up I've had in a long while.

When I listen to Paramore's "The Only Exception", I wonder when it is that I'll be able to feel that way again, and be the exception.

Tell me, will I wait forever?



The only exception ~ Paramore
When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to reassemble it

And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist

But darling,
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm
Content with loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

Well, You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving
In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream

Ohh

You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception
You, are, the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing

can you feel my heartbeat

the heart that you stepped all over and left
is still beating. and it's beating for you

no matter how hard i try to forget
no matter how many new people i meet
why do i keep thinking of only you when i turn around
i don't want to do this anymore. i want to stop.
no matter how many times i try and try to stop myself
it's no use. my heart is broken. why

why do i keep doing such foolish things
i know in my head, but why is my heart rebelling
i'm holding on to you and can't let go.
it still feels like you're next to me.
i can't believe in farewell

no matter who i meet, i can't open up one part of my heart and i keep your place empty
there's no reason for you come back, but why do i keep thinking that you might come back
why isn't my heart listening

Yes, I'm spamming translated korean lyrics. And well. It kinda hits the spot too.

If you've never heard her before, you should. She's lovely. And if you like her, remember you heard it here first!

Lately I've lost my tongueToday you found my song
Unknown our love, has grown
And I thank god you came along

You are the one one I've been waiting for today
And here comes the sun, it's been baiting 'morn today

You looked right through me, there was no one else
I sat beside you and became myself, today
Today


And this is how I feel deep down inside. It's weird, that I wish for something to happen so that I know what I feel is real. why do i like you so much?

I had the best night. It has been a long time since I felt so liberated, so free, so relaxed. I could never talk to another person that way, and I've been needing some release. Thanks, Jesus. Honestly, I'm glad we talked, 6 hours plus, no matter what the topic was. It was good to be real, truthful and actually put myself out there and be able to trust people like how I did you. You're definitely a friend for keeps (: Thanks for letting me be me, for not judging, for reciprocating.

I think I have some some serious trust issues, and well, I don't really think I have any balls. I should slap my own face. *Slap* Already done. HAHA. Anyways really. I think I'm more talk - I'd never go up to him and tell him how I feel. Yes, same guy in July. Shoot me. I know I said I'd get over bbbut... I guess. Sigh. Come jans, rationalise...

What's so great about him?

Nothing, and everything. Well honestly, he's normal. And I don't like him for some grand gesture he did, or what. I just like him for him. Its not that he's the NICEST guy in the world, cos seriously, I can find nicer, lol. And its not cos of any particular reason. It's just.. him. He's funny and a great conversationalist and he makes my heart flutter. Yeah, cool ah. But the shitty part? These will just remain words on this page, literally. I have no guts to say anything to him, and sometimes I think, it's partly due to the fact that I don't want to ruin what we have, whatever that is. And knowing him, he's not looking for anything right now.

(PS. If you're wondering, like any other normal person why I can say these things here, not worried he would ponder..well he's awesomely dense, and I don't think he knows my blog. Yeah. And really dense. Like a banner could fly and he wouldn't realise. HAHAHA okay i kid i kid.)

Actually, and this is the reasoned logical Jans talking, I think hormones aren't helping. And that well, I think its possible I'm infatuated. I mean look at madrasah boy. I got him and boom I screwed it all up. So theoretically, I guess I'm just... guilty of being dreamy.

(Word vomit, but I don't care. I created this space anyways.)

Sigh, fuck I don't know what I want also.
All I know is that though sometimes it hurts, this feeling is lovely and well, very fun.
