I wish I could cross my arms
and cross your mind
cause I believe you'd unfold your paper heart
and wear it on your sleeve
all my life I wish I broke mirrors
instead of promises
cause all I see
is a shattered conscience staring right back at me
I wish I had covered all my tracks completely
cause I'm so afraid,
is that the light at the far end of the tunnel
or just the train?
lift your arms,
only heaven knows where the danger grows
and it's safe to say
there's a bright light up ahead
and help is on the way
I forget the last time I felt brave,
I just recall insecurity
cause it came down like a tidal wave
and sorrow swept over me
depression please cut to the chase
and cut a long story short
oh please be done,
how much longer can this drama afford to run
fate looks sharp,
severs all my ties
and breaks whatever doesn't bend
but sadly then,
all my heavy hopes
just pull me back down again
I forget the last time I felt brave,
I just recall insecurity
cause it came down like a tidal wave
and sorrow sweapt over me
when I was given brazen love
I was blind
but now I can see
because I found a new hope from above
and courage sweapt over me
it hurts just to wake up
whenever you're wearing thin
alone on the outside
so tired of looking in
the end is uncertain
and I've never been so afraid
but I don't need a telescope to see there's hope
and that makes me feel brave
I don't know if there's ever been a song in the whole world that described me as well as this one does right now.
Praying for you, Em! <3
ReplyDeleteAnd what song is this/who's it by?
Thanks... I always need prayer. :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is by Owl city and it's called Tidal Wave. I'm actually completely in love with this group right now, btw.
:( its so sad to be sad, its so depressing to be depressed . . . . .
ReplyDeleteHmm I might have heard it. I've been obsessing over their music a lot too lately :-) playing fireflies over and over again on my guitar constantly...
ReplyDeleteawesome band, but it kind of sounds like you could use a hug :(
ReplyDeleteHahaha... hugs are always good.
ReplyDeleteBut here's the thing Matt, I'm living really intensely right now- like, not only am I super busy, but I'm thinking really hard about everything and sometimes the emotions of that all just come crashing in. But they don't stay for long, and they arn't necessarily bad, they're just emotions that prove I'm alive and that my life is very full. You know? So I'm not really down, though maybe what you see on this blog makes it look that way. Most of the time I'm running around skippity-la-la, happy to be alive. :-)
Thanks for the concern though!
She wouldn't give me a hug... :P ;)
ReplyDeleteOwl City is really good. I got the song Fireflies free on iTunes a couple months ago as the Free-Single-Of-The-Week. :)
*supersadface*
ReplyDeleteFree single of the week? Hmm I should look into this...... although I can always download any song I want for free via youtube....ah well. Still cool!
ReplyDeleteEmily! Emily!! I want a hug!! Can you schedual me in??
ReplyDeleteOf course Katie. You're one of the few within my reach. :-)
