Finger Eleven – One Thing Lyrics 17 years ago
"restless tonight, because i wasted the light"
(can't sleep, spent the day daydreaming, nothings getting accomplished)

"between both these times, i drew a really thin line"
(all day, everyday for as long as you've been waiting, you made it very easy for someone to gain access to your heart, just didn't come out and say it)

"it's nothing i planned and not that i can"
(didn't mean to fall in love, not that anyone can really control falling in love, but it just REALLY REALLY was the last thing expected at the time)

"but you should be mine, across that line"
(the heart is all there for the taking, all they have to do is just say those three little words)

"If I traded it all
If I gave it all away for one thing
Just for one thing
If I sorted it out
If I knew all about this one thing
Wouldn’t that be something"
(willing to do anything for that love, but at the same time, knowing you can't make somebody love you)

"I promise I might
Not walk on by
Maybe next time
But not this time"
(not giving up on that love yet)


"Even though I know
I don’t want to know
Yeah I guess I know
I just hate how it sounds"
(deep down knowing the odds that they're gonna turn around and tell you that they are just as madly deep in love with you as you are them are very slim, but still not giving up hope. you just can't when you love someone that much)

i know this song to the "t" my boyfriend moves in a week exactly. we've only dated 4 months so i don't think it'd be fair of me to throw all my true feelings at him, i fell in love him, unplanned, unexpected, and knowing he'd be moving. but oh do i wish he'd stay or at least tell me he's fallen in love with me too. i'd travel across the world to visit him if he told me that, but odds are he's gonna move and eventually find someone else.

The Goo Goo Dolls – Name Lyrics 17 years ago
actually, i think this song is about falling in love with someone and then hitting that rough patch of the baggage each person carries, recognizing the troubles in someone you love and assuring them that they can confide in you, saying "you could hide beside me maybe for awhile, and i won't tell no one your name" and how we get lonely, many of us can't even confide in family, whether they're alive or not, "we've GROWN up orphans"... we're on our own now, but still need help. the "scars" of the past, the "star" we all want to become, and once we realize that we're all grown up, no matter how fast it seems, sometimes it hits us how frustrating and exhausting dealing with these troubles of childhood can be ontop of the troubles as an adult
