Mocktail Love:<\/b><\/p>\n
(about being in love,
\nwondering if the chemistry you feel was forced or fake,
\nand getting drunk on it anyway.
\nsensing that something’s not right but wanting to ignore it,
\nto burn bright anyway, while it lasts
\nlike accelerating across a broken bridge
\nwanting to run away
\nyouth, R&J)<\/p>\n
verse 1:
\nyesterday i died from a bullet in my mind
\nwondering if wondering really matters
\ncause i’d succumb to anything that makes me feel alive
\nyou make me feel alive, yeah you do<\/p>\n
prechorus:
\neverybody wants to feel special
\njust like everybody else<\/p>\n
chorus:
\nso come away and dance with me tonight
\nthe stars and streetlights will shine so bright
\nwe’ll fly away in skies that burn with blue
\nif you want to, and if you want me too<\/p>\n
verse2:
\nclouding empty minds with love and fantasies so close to her
\nlet’s make believe that everything’s just fine
\ncause we don’t want to jeopardize the wasted beauty in your eyes
\ndrunk on our mocktail love<\/p>\n

Meant To Be<\/b><\/p>\n
(about realising that we need to really understand ourselves before we can try to understand other people,
\nabout the helplessness of youth,
\nabout finding the courage to admit weakness
\nthe anger at one’s own helplessness
\nsome pain
\nabout not pretending to be strong anymore)<\/p>\n
verse 1:
\nI never spent so long just waiting
\nhold me closely, let me go
\nmy thoughts they’re all just resonating
\nin my my mind where she’s alone<\/p>\n
i thought i understood
\neverything there is to know
\nwe’re not meant to be alone
\nwe’re not meant to be<\/p>\n
chorus:
\nno,
\ni used to know myself
\nif no one else
\nbut we,
\nwe’re so young
\nwhat could we do
\nwhere could we have gone<\/p>\n
guitar solo<\/p>\n
verse 2:
\ni think i’m finally moving on from here
\nyeah i’m finally waking
\nfrom these dreams i’m faking<\/p>\n

\nwe’re not meant to be<\/p>\n

It’s Not Too Late:<\/b><\/p>\n
(about hope, faint hope,
\n about sadness,
\n about love fading away and the strong desire to have what was once strong,
\n and a slight realisation that it’s gone-
\n a denial, not wanting to admit that it’s over,
\n and strong concern for the other person)<\/p>\n
verse 1:
\nyou say you don’t know
\nwhat’s been happening to this boat
\ni see you waltzing on your own
\ncould you make it through alone
\n(tell me it’s more than a game
\ndon’t fool me with your charade)
\ncould you make it through alone<\/p>\n
chorus (x2):
\nit’s not too late
\nit’s never over
\nit’s not too late<\/p>\n
verse 2:
\nyou say you don’t care
\nwhat’s been happening to this pair
\nof shaken hearts that wear and tear
\nstill we’ll make it through i swear
\n(troubled thoughts and troubled times,
\nlet’s just give it one more try)
\nwe’d make it through i swear<\/p>\n
chorus x2:<\/p>\n
bridge:
\nhearts collide \/ i know i know
\nhurts inside \/ just go, just go
\nwait and see \/ come what may
\njust stay with me \/ just stay<\/p>\n
chorus x2<\/p>\n
background vocals over chorus, x2:
\nI never thought we’d end this way
\nand I never want to go away, I
\nnever thought we’d take this break, and I
\nnever, never, no-<\/p>\n

Anymore<\/b><\/p>\n
(about intense pain,
\nfear, suffering,
\nhelplessness, hopelessness,
\nfeeling lost, confused, destroyed,
\nworried, crying,
\ntrying to save\/help when falling apart)<\/p>\n
verse1:
\ni just can’t do this anymore,
\ndarling please, walk me out through the door
\nyou’re just not smiling anymore,
\nso baby please, I have to let you go<\/p>\n
chorus (x2):
\nthrow it away, she said
\nlike we did to everything we had<\/p>\n
verse2:<\/p>\n
things aren’t the same anymore,
\nand i know, i’m not so strong after all
\ndon’t you know, i just can’t take this anymore
\nso baby please, you have to let me go<\/p>\n

Between The Lines<\/b><\/p>\n
(happier,
\n about accepting what happened and almost about moving on but not quite.
\n pleasant memories,
\n a dreamy reflective moment of serenity and understanding
\n where everything seems to fall into place)<\/p>\n
(verse 1)
\nbetween the lines of right and wrong,
\nand it takes a second to choose<\/p>\n
when it all just goes down wrong
\nyeah, there’s not a minute to lose<\/p>\n
thinking of the times we shared
\nthose precious hours with you<\/p>\n
spend some time with me now,
\nbaby, oh, just a day or two<\/p>\n
Chorus (x2):
\nstill i’m waiting for you
\nthinking everything’s just fine
\ni just don’t know what i’d do
\ni’m still so in love with you<\/p>\n

Push Hard, Push Back (tentative)<\/b><\/p>\n
(about helping someone in your midst who’s fallen, broken, needs saving
\nabout strength of community, about not giving up, about moving forward)<\/p>\n
verse 1:
\nyou don’t have to be so scared
\nyou don’t have to feel so alone
\nwe’ll try to make things right
\nwon’t you stand up, and be strong<\/p>\n
prechorus:
\nwon’t let you fall on your face
\nwon’t let you disappear
\nwon’t let anybody
\nhold you down
\nwon’t let your smiles fade away
\nwon’t let your life go to waste
\nwon’t let the stories and magic
\never end<\/p>\n
(bg vocals: we won’t let you down, x8)<\/p>\n
chorus:
\nhaven’t write yet<\/p>\n
verse 2:
\nit can be hard to understand
\nit might just all seem so unfair
\nit can be hard to believe

I KNOW that all these songs seem really emo and whatever, but they were in rough times and i needed them to help me get through. the next few songs are much happier but they haven’t been fleshed out yet. look forward to them! =)<\/p>\n
my happy side shows more in my basslines (eg tainted tuesdays, nights amidst) more than my words. i’m still not very good at expressing things.<\/p>\n
ah well, always working on it! =D<\/p>\n
oh yah, just stating, all lyrics above are written completely by me and are my intellectual property, so if for some weird ass reason you want to use it, ask me first k.<\/p>\n
and armchair critic songs may sound different or use different lyrics because there are two other guys in the band and they have their input too. =)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
