with a bang.

trace wordless confessions along bones
learn lessons in letting go

close your eyes
so this hurts a little less

grab my hand
promise to take me anywhere

take my breath away
i'm an expert in suffocating

steal my heart from my chest
it's not a sin if you're not sorry

sing me a lullaby
before you slip away
no, no, don't leave me

(how did we end up here?)

(i don't know, i don't know...)

Summer Hair = Forever Young



This. This used to be THE only song I listened to.

I know that it sounds kind of stupid and pointless for me to develop such an attachment to something as seemingly small as a song, but it's not just the fact that it's a song. I can't explain it, but... Nobody except my (used to be) closest friends know about how much I'm attached to William Beckett for saving my life, for giving me hope, for giving me strength.

I used to cry to this song every night... November '08, maybe? You have no idea about me. I have never been so into a band for this long. It's kind of frightening that my attention hasn't completely gone somewhere else.

I'm unable to express how much this song affects me every time I listen to it when I'm alone like I am right now. My body shivers. It's kind of like this song was written for me; nostalgia and pain rush inside of me whenever Beckett's voice in this fills my ears. The lyrics hit so close to home.

Don't come any closer
Don't tell me it's over
Don't kiss me goodbye

Here we are
Am I taking this too hard? 

Don't say it's easy
The hardest part is leaving
Don't you wonder why
Suddenly we're all
Running out of time

THIS is the part of the song that ALWAYS gets to me. ALWAYS. Growing up has been a painful experience and whenever this part comes up, I always feel like Beckett knows exactly how the inside of my heart is. He is an amazing person, and so are the rest of the band.

I hope you love this song as much as I do.

Inside This House

Tell me my dreams are worth going after.

Tell me that I'm meant for something bigger than the skin I'm in.

Because I know I am.

I know.
