Living on a diet of Chocolates & Cigarettes
I wanna call you again
I'll drink tea sometimes when its cold
This is getting old
I call you again

Still too young to fail, too scared to sail away
But one of these days I'll grow old
And I'll grow brave and I'll go
One of these days

Blowing out the candles from my cake
I choke on the smoke as I look around the room
Everybody's wishing for no more mistakes
And all that I can think about is you

Still too young to fail, to scared to sail away
But one of these days I'll grow old
And I'll grow brave and I'll go
One of these days
La da la da la da

Still too young to fail, to scared to sail away
But one of these days I'll grow old
And I'll grow brave and I'll go
One of these days
La da la da la da

    General CommentI definitely can relate to this song. Its obviously about someone who keeps going back to a casual lover and they wish that things could be more serious. Although everyone knows this is a mistake, this person continually wants to go back with the only way of ending this vicious cycle is for the person in question to leave but they can't.

    My OpinionKalei- THIS IS THE SCARIEST FUCKING SONG. EVER. Definitely! Don't listen to this, at 1:30 AM. Cause you will shit yourself. Yeah.

    Kayla- This song makes me feel like my ass is going to explode.... It's 1:30 in the morning & i decided i wanted to see what this would be about because it looked very interesting.. Well, i was freakin WRONG... Demons worship this song at night & sit around a campfire singing "I love chocolates & cigarettes" Dumb behinds like kalei & kayla will listen to it at 1:30 in the morning & will freak the F out. Annnnnyone how likes this song is out of there mind, K ?

    My Interpretationjust some possibilities for this song....

    the first part of the song describes how the person is tempted to rekindle a relationship, but when she says "this is getting old" its an internal struggle of whether or not its the right thing to do or will make a difference.

    to young to fail to scared to sail away- to young to be in serious relationship with someone and have plenty of time to find another but to scared to sail away meaning to scared to let go
    one of these days....she will get the courage to let the love go and move on
