Lauren is a Lyrics Fiend!!!
Just in case you hadn’t noticed, I thought I’d spell it out for you.
So I was meandering around the internet when I came upon a meme like a meme I have done from time to time, and since it involves lyrics (one of my favorite things) I think I’ll do it, though it’s very time-consuming. But I will do it anyway, because I like it, and then I’ll write more serious things later.
Here goes…
In your current playlist, hit shuffle and write down your favorite line of the first twenty songs. Then, have your friends comment and see if they know the songs.
And like the person from which I took this meme, I won’t repeat artists and will skip instrumentals. By the way, there’s no way anyone’s going to get all of these songs.
1. I’m not living, I’m just killing time
2. I can hide my pain, I can never hide the way I feel for you
3. sometimes to be near you is to be unable to hear you
4. one look in her eyes and I feel undressed
5. and when she breaks down and makes a sound you’ll never hear her the way that I do
6. I will go anywhere she goes, sleep on the pillow that reeks of another
7. you’re in my nightmares and my dreams, still you are the only thing I need
8. shine your teeth til meaningless, sharpen them with lies
9. she’s seen as a bright sun to anyone hollow and mined
10. every time I try to walk away you pull me back with all those things you say
11. take up this satchel, fill it with fire
12. it’s the simple things that make you smile
13. “all you need is love” is a lie ’cause we had a love but we still said goodbye
14. you’ve got to take a little dirt to keep what you love
15. take the very breath you gave me, take my heart from my chest
16. think I broke the wings off that little song bird, she’s never gonna fly to the top of the world right now
17. don’t think cause I’m talking we’re friends
18. the clock in the sky is pounding away and there’s so much to say
19. are you an angel? am I already that gone?
20. at night I pray that soon your face will fade away
Anyhow.
I had a very difficult conversation with some friends today, and they were right and I was wrong. I was wrong a lot of stuff that I should understand better than anyone, but I don’t. Sometimes it’s nice to have an ice-cold slap in the face, even if it’s not intended that way. The truth is, I had been putting off taking care of it, but I have this amazing capacity for denial and had therefore been avoiding hashing things out in the open for awhile. But, painful as it may be, they’re right. I can’t keep waiting for things to work out on their own, not given the current situation. I can justify and make excuses until I’m blue in the face, but in the end they’re right. And confidentially to them, I would have said yes. Maybe you guys should make the little cards up for me after all. Thank you. I love you.
Going to bed at an ungodly hour…
Listening to:
The sound of his feet on the doormat, sound of his hand on the doorknob, sound of my heart beating in my head.
