Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah

Hey there Delilah, what's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away but girl, tonight you look so pretty, yes you do
Time Square can't shine as bright as you, I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah, don't you worry about the distance,
I'm right there if you get lonely, give this song another listen
Close your eyes, listen to my voice, it's my disguise, I'm by your side

Ohh, it's what you do to me, ohh, it's what you do to me
Ohh, it's what you do to me, ohh, it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah, I know times are getting hard but just believe me girl someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar, we'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah, I've got so much left to say, if every simple song I wrote to you would take your breath away, I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall, we'd have it all

Ohh, it's what you do to me, ohh, it's what you do to me
Ohh, it's what you do to me, ohh, it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far but they've got planes and trains and cars, I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us, and we'll just laugh along because we know that none of them have felt this way

Delilah, I can promise you that by the time that we get through, the world will never ever be the same, and you're to blame

Hey there Delilah, you be good and don't you miss me. Two more years and you'll be done with school and I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you, we can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah, here's to you, this one's for you

Ohh, it's what you do to me, ohh, it's what you do to me
Ohh, it's what you do to me, ohh, it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Ohhh..

------------------------------

One of my absolute favourite songs of the moment; it's simple and it conveys its meanings clearly.

And girl, in two years, I too will be done with school and we can do whatever we want to..

Shiny Toy Gun - Weather Girl

You're an uptown
Falling down
West end girl
Trying to see yourself
Running in a
Number one
Shoot em up
Race to edge of the world
To the edge of the world
Knocking down
Waking up
You're a breaking girl
Hearts stop and seize
Making love in the weather
Making moves together
Staying close forever
Riding in our cars
From the moon to mars
Every day every night
Becomes a thousand hours
Come and follow you
Follow down to excess
Return to righteousness
Dancing late at night
Hunting high and low
With your pretty pink bow
Weather girl where did you go?

Girlfriend...
I really need you
Don't go
Girlfriend...
I really miss you
Don't go

Never making hesitation
Making everyone hold their breath
Criss-cross over miles of eyes
Ending looks shooting over
The heads are turning
Your shadow of death...
You're ready for this.

Weather girl where's your forecast?
Set the signal
Raining fire from the angels
Through the eye of a needle
Making moves making stars
Falling faster than the start
Of the end of the world
You're the breaking girl
Channel X channel 7
Super static television
We're waiting for
The first broadcast from you
You'll never go too far
There's no stopping the show
With your pretty pink bow
Where did you go?

------------------------

Can't say I appreciate the song, but the lyrics.. Yeah. I'd recommend taking a listen to this band, Shiny Toy Gun and their album We Are Pilots, if you like Electronica. I'm not so keen on it 'cause it sometimes gives me a pounding headache but hey, I think When They Came For Us and Rocketship are pretty ownage on it.

In any case, I'll be updating the song in the sidebar in a little bit. Take a listen if you'd care to! ;D

Dashboard Confessional - Carry This Picture

Carry this picture for luck
Kept in a locket
Tucked in your collar
Close to your chest
Make it a secret
Shown to the closest friends

Meet me at quarter to seven
The sun will still shine then
At this time of year
We'll head to the inlet
And we'll share a bottle there

Colour the coast with your smile
It's the most genuine thing
That I've ever seen
I was so lost but now I believe

Follow me south of the big docks
Where they tether the boats
The rich men revere as so important
They hire our fathers to steer

And down to the edge of the water
Where we'll spill our guts
And we'll name our fears
I'll give you this picture
Keep it and don't be scared

Colour the coast with your smile
It's the most genuine thing
That I've ever seen
I was so lost but now I believe

-----------------------------------------

Your smile is indeed the most genuine thing I've ever seen (even if it's just pixels right now). <3 In any case, since I like it so much, it's also up for download here. :D

Daughtry - Home

I'm staring out into the night,
Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.

I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home.

The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love, remains true.
And I don't know why.
You always seem to give me another try.

So I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,

And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.

Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all, yeah.

Oh, well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.
I said these places and these faces are getting old.
So I'm going home.
I'm going home.

I like the Acoustic version of this song better myself, so here it is.

Dashboard Confessional - A Plain Morning

It's yet to be determined,
but the air is thick,
and my hope is feeling worn.
I'm missing home,
and I'm glad you're not a part of this,
there's parts of me that will be missed.
And the phone is always dead to me,
so I can't tell you the temperature is dropping
and it feels like.

It's colder than it ought to be in March
and I still got a day or two ahead of me
till I'll be heading home,
into your arms again.
And the people here are asking after you.
It doesn't make it easier.
It doesn't make it easier to be away.

I'd like to hire a plane.
I'd see you in the morning,
when the day is fresh.
I'm coming home again.
Coming home again.
Coming home again.
When the day is fresh,
I'm coming home again.

But it's warmer where you're waiting.
It feels more like July.
There's pillows in their cases,
and one of those is mine.
And you wrote the words "I love you",
and sprayed it with perfume.
It's better than the fire is
to heat this lonely room.
It's warmer where you're waiting
It feels more like July.
It feels more like July.

It's yet to be determined,
but the air is thick,
and my hope is feeling worn.
I'm missing home,
and I'm glad you're not a part of this,
there's parts of me that will be missed.
And the phone is always dead to me,
so I can't tell you the temperature is dropping
and it feels like.

It's colder than it ought to be in March
and I still got a day or two ahead of me
till I'll be heading home,
into your arms again.
And the people here are asking after you.
It doesn't make it easier.
It doesn't make it easier to be away.

I'd like to hire a plane.
I'd see you in the morning,
when the day is fresh.
I'm coming home again.
Coming home again.
Coming home again.
When the day is fresh,
I'm coming home again.

The Ataris - Looking Back On Today

30th of April, seems like yesterday.
We bought a house above the ocean
where our kids could laugh and play.

I called you from Paris
to tell you that I wrote our names on the observation deck
of the Eiffel Tower.

Remember those nights,
playing "Summer wind" on the juke box of the bar we used to go.
We made out in the bathroom and you walked me to my house,
I tried to convince you not to go home.

If only I had more time, I'd take you where you wanted to go.
Italy isn't the same without you here.
If only I had one wish, I'd want a million trillion lifetimes
that I could spend with you...
Fall in love with you again and again.

1st of November, 1998.
I was thinking of what to say when I would call.
Denise come over to my house, 'Cause you're the one for me.
We'll drink cheap wine and watch more shooting stars.

Remember our first apartment?
Our couch was never big enough for two.
Still, we'd fall asleep in each other's arms and wake up on the floor.
Now looking back it was made for me and you.

If only I had more time, I'd take you where you wanted to go.
Japan is really nice this time of year.
If only I had one wish, I'd want a million trillion lifetimes
that I could spend with you...
Fall in love with you again and again.

If only I had more time...
England isn't the same without you here
If only I had one wish, I'd want a million trillion lifetimes
that I could spend with you...
Fall in love with you again and again.

-----------------------

I'm really not a sappy person, but well. I think this song's pretty awesome. Honestly, I'd like to go globetrotting around the world, do all those stuffs with someone. :/

*snaps out of it* Sorry. I'm back to being a prudish Neanderthal Alpha-ish guy again.

In any case, I've updated the song that's available for download. :D

Maybe it's something everyone goes through in their teens, but as of late I've been having this insane urge to learn to pick up an instrument and get incredibly, oustandingly good at it. I'm thinking either the guitar or drums. Or even the vocal chords, but I doubt there's a chance in hell that I'll be able to do well in that.

In any case, after that step's done, I'd join a rock band and jam on the instrument all day long, making fantastic music. Jumping up and down onstage, going crazy, letting loose and wild..

Damn. That'd be pretty awesome.

A Rock Star, in tight leather pants and edgy jacket, or an emo punk rocker with scruffy side-parted hair that covers half the face in black and white, belting out songs filled with teenage angst. All sorts of stuff! Making it big, getting huge paychecks, hanging out with cool people.

Kinda cool, I think.

Of course, this is a completely idealistic picture painted of what celebrities go through (minus the paparazzi, lack of privacy, etc.) but heck! It'd be some experience to have!

You kiss my tip, you slide your fingers down my length, you light my ass.

What am I?

I am well aware of the connotations implied, I think half the fun's in that. ;D
