Bad Translations.

I’ve never hated goodbyes more than I hate saying goodbye to you.

The instant the door closes shut, and I hear you leave the stairs, my heart sinks.

I miss you, and I hate that you have to leave.

I don’t want to be bitter, but for the first time in my life I’ve put my own desires first.

And it doesn’t help.

I love YOU, just you.

How does it feel to lead two lives?

Because leading half a life is making me dizzy.

Remember being young, and getting dizzy was fun?

You, you make me feel alive.

And when this ends, I don’t want to think about how I’ll feel.

I’m sitting here, trying to make sense of this, so you can understand.

Nothing unsaid.

My thoughts are cryptic.

I can’t translate this.

What the hell is the point anyway? Your heart is set and it’s not on me.

Lyrics.  A just fragment of someone else’s meaning.

They capture the speech of my heart.

“And the seas would part and they'd part for you
I'd run anywhere to join you on a path for two and I
I don't wanna contemplate what I might do
And if I lose you I'll find you, I will find you

Stop the clocks I'll walk away
Cos we've got something untamed
If what's beneath falls through
Then I'll fall, but I'll fall with you “

The Clocks – Uthboy.

“Last night I dreamt I held you with me,
Close enough to feel you breathe,
When i awoke I lay here empty,
Caught between the want and need,

Now in the darkness I am only,
Thoughtful hopes and pieces mind,
These dreams are all I've ever wanted,
Found behind the closing eyes,

How long we've been trying to reach you,
We all fall down like this sometimes,
Trying to reach you,
I'm trying,”

Reach – The Butterfly Effect.

“Happiness feels a lot like sorrow 
Let it be, you can't make it come or go 
But you are gone- not for good but for now 
Gone for now feels a lot like gone for good 

Happiness is a firecracker sitting on my headboard 
Happiness was never mine to hold 
Careful child, light the fuse and get away 
‘Cause happiness throws a shower of sparks 

Happiness damn near destroys you 
Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor 
So you tell yourself, that's enough for now 
Happiness has a violent roar “

Happiness – The Fray.

“I dont mind where you come from 
As long as you come to me
But I dont like illusions I cant see
Them clearly
I dont care, no I wouldn't dare 
To fix the twist in you
You've shown me eventually what you'll do
I dont mind
I dont care
As long as you're here”

All The Same – The Sick Puppies.

“Well you know I hardly speak.
When I do it's just for you. 
I haven't said a word in weeks
'Cause they've been keeping me from you.

There's a way where there's a will.
You know I got no need for stairs.
Step out on the window sill,
Fall with me into the air. 

So, here we go. 
Hold on tight and don't let go. 
I won't ever let you fall. 
I love the night.
Flying o'er these city lights. 
But I love you most of all. “

A Song For Milly Michaelson – Thrice.

“I feel that when I'm old
I'll look at you and know
The world was beautiful

Then you tell me...
You say that love goes anywhere
In your darkest time, it's just enough to know it's there
When you go, I'll let you be
But you're killing everything in me

I'm done, there's nothing left to show
I try but can't let it go
Are you happy where you're standing still?
Do you really want the sugar pill?
I'll wake up tomorrow and I'll start
Tonight it feels so hard
As the train approaches Gare Du Nord
As I'm sure your kiss remains employed
Am I only dreaming?”

Polaris – Jimmy Eat World.

“Too much is not enough 
Nobody gave it up 
I’m not the kind 
To lay down and die 

Adrenaline 
keeps me in the game 
Adrenaline 
you don't even feel the pain 
Wilder than your wildest dreams 
When you're going to extremes 
It takes adrenaline 

Adrenaline 
Screaming out your name 
Adrenaline 
you don't even feel the pain 
Wilder than your wildest dreams 
When you're going to extremes “

Adrenaline – Bush.

“What you wanna say, 
Wait until you get home. 
I'm sick of communicating now over the telephone. 
Tell me how you feel, 
For I am lonely too 
Need you to know 
I'm just as cold and numb as you. 

But I could fly away, 
Or I could be no one. 
And you could be the 
Sunshine falling over the mountain

You could come to stay 
Yes you could come right home 
I don't see why I have to 
Live this life all alone. 

I know there is a way to make up for mistakes 
I know what's happening is for a reason.”

What You Want – John Butler Trio.

“And I wonder 
When I sing along with you 
If everything could ever feel this real forever 
If anything could ever be this good again 

The only thing I'll ever ask of you 
You've got to promise not to stop when I say when 
She sang “

Everlong – The Foo Fighters (All time favourite song.)

And finally. The song I saw live that changed a lot of things for me a couple of weeks ago.

“All my bones are dust
And my heart sealed with rust
These hands will always be rough
I know this won't count for much
(two people too damaged too much too late)

I'm not saying she's my last
I'm just saying that she could have been
It doesn't matter how rough these hands get
It doesn't matter 'cause I'm not her man”

Rough Hands – Alexisonfire.
