So if I am just another cigarette you need to smoke, what happens when your cigarette break is over? Will you let me fall onto the ground? Will you feel me break beneath your weight? Crushing me further and further into the cold pavement Whoever heard of saving a cigarette? Treasuring it and keeping it around to smoke over and over Ridiculous What about your favorite song? Analyzing it and picking out your favorite line Loving it more and more as it plays on and on Let me be the theme song to your life Cigarettes come and go, but a song is forever Perfectly crafted to fit you and your lifestyle One song can change everything, make you see the world from another perspective Let me be that song, that song that knows you best That song that gets stuck in your head That song that you sing along to at the top of your lungs That song you put on repeat over and over again That song that never ends Let me be the theme song to your life

These texts snap me back into reality I awake from this constant daydreaming Daydreaming about what we had and what could have been I don't regret a thing, I just want you in my life I can't seem to bring myself to say the words that terrify me the most *Three short words, but not what you're thinking I think about those afternoons in Togo's and late nights in your room When I think of you I can hear Thrice and smell cigarettes Those three short words say it all: I miss you But I don't dare breathe a word or write a line That would mean you're really gone, never to come back And I don't care if I'm just another cigarette you need to smoke Breathe me in Stay the night* Maybe my heart's a kamikazi I would kill to be back in your arms If only for one night Even if I knew I'd carry around a heavy heart for the rest of my life*

Disappointed that your calls don't light up my world anymore Until the one night that it did Now I'm slipping out of my bed and slidding into yours From tossing and turning to rolling around This is one memory that can always be found *I was honest when I said, that I could never leave your bed And I swear if you really leave tomorrow, you will be leaving me and my heart hollow This constant hunger pain, Dying of starvation The world works against us, but for this one night, the earth stopped turning And the only thing spinning was my head Loosing control at the sound of your breathing and the touch of your lips* Oh how you've fed me sandwhiches and secrets You fed me when I was starving for you Guided by your lips, I'm drinking in this moment My fingers tangled in your hair and your hands around my hips*

This never-ending road stretches itself out before me and we're both long gone Our long lost dream dissipates into the stars and black night sky A feeling i'm quite familiar with But does that make it any easier? Any easier at all? But it doesn't matter at all because before I saw goodbye I'm already halfway gone The story of my life re-writes itself over and over again Repeating metaphors and themes plague this everyday existence I open my mouth and scream at the top of my lungs "no, don't go!" But in the end, I'm only saying goodbye to nothing Can I break through, could I be honest? I'll let my thoughts do the talking I won't utter a word, but still you'll know I cry tears of ink and as they fall to the blank paper, lyrics splash across the page And doesn't it feel like everyone's an enemy This pen and paper are the only friends I know

Its funny how the stars don't shine as bright tonight But the moon hangs low and smiles at us as we drive by, smiling ourselves I said, "jump in the car, we're gonna chase this star until it fades into the pink sunrise" A storm rolled in to take you away But you just say, "ignore the thunder heads up above, you know you're always safe with me." You've provoked the deepest and saddest songs, the most beautiful and heartfelt songs, the most angry and malicious songs, and the most light and airy songs You've given me a lifetime of material, my dear vague emotion So I find it impossible to forget you Love radically so you can shatter someone's universe Funny how I loved you, But you shattered my universe And its funny how the stars don't shine as bright tonight

Oh, what a tangled web we weave Each passing day I become more and more tangled But I don't want to be tangled up in a web I want to be tangled up in you and your sheets So far I'm caught up in your words, my emotions and our conversations I tried to free myself from this web, but i just became more and more tangled Slipping deeper and deeper into this vast canyon of feelings, I cannot find my vague emotion You no longer hold this air of uncertainty, I am no longer suffocatting, We are breathing and drinking in pure love But the coin flips to heads and logic kicks in I'm second guessing these emotions Fearing what's to come Being unrequited seems to be a game I play Once again I loose all my money and I am sent to jail But maybe you could free me Unchain me from this fetter of this unrequited love jail cell and I will be yours Give me the courage to roll the dice just once more If I land in jail, then I blame you But it I land on your property, would you invite me inside? Do you see how I have become so tangled? I do not care for this web of uncertainty, but I wouldn't mind being tangled up in you

Bed tiem storeis are over-rated There's no such thing as happily ever after At least in the story of my life With pen and paper, I can make this right Lets go back to that empty theater Hands through your hair, arms wrapped around me I wasn't focussed on the screen, but how you looked, looking at me From empty theater to empty inbox I can't seem to get this message through to you One phone call, one joke, now I'm through, but am I really There's absolutely nothing I can do He's the one who got away and I can't make him stay, not even while he's here Get on that plane and fly away Leave behind a dilapidated city complete with a sad song playing in the background as you take off Take off your mask, this thing you hide behind Hide behind me and I'll protect you But not tonight Tonight the sad song plays on and the city collapses

You could be the last one I talk to before I fall asleep at night and the first one I say good morning to But there's one who haunts my dreams and causes me to toss and turn until daylight saves me from this tortueous night So i'm left to wonder: can my stories change the future? Most likely not I'm trapped in my own world full of fairytale endings that only bring about disappointment And I tell myself: stop asking questions Questions get you answers and then you can't hide anymore You have to face reality Now I feel like I do when I think i'm lost and I drive down a familiar street I know where I am and where I'm going I've been here before many a time, but now I have better directions

I flash back to the past and am bitter I grow angry with each passing thought Then, I grow angry with myself The tables have turned and I feel like a hypocrite Thoughts of secrets, deception, ignorance, scenarious, feelings, and you cloud my head I seek advice to sort through it, but yet again, I find conflict Head vs. heart, honesty vs. secrecy, friendship vs. love I am at my wit's end My dreams and days are haunted by this conflict A solution would cure this all So which do I choose? The head, honesty and friendship? Or the heart, secrecy and love? In the end, I loose I am not the heroine of the story I take out my pen and desperately try to re-write the ending, but I can't win Whatever choice I make, it will all come to an end The sun will set, the book will close and the song will fade No doubt this heart will heal, but I wish it wouldn't When the hurt is gone, you will be too Reduced to a distant memory Just a small antidote of my life story Again, i try to re-write the story, but I come up short The pages are filled, the pen is out of ink and this book will inevitabley close

i love songmeanings.net because you can see everyone's comments on the songs. its funny how two people can think a song has such different meanings. i think we project our feelings onto songs and warp them to fit our lives. when everyone can relate to a song though, thats when you know the artist is pretty much amazing!
