MY FAVORITE SONG THIS WEEK IS...

I'd Hate To Be You When People Find Out What This Song Is About
by: Mayday Parade


And we both go down together
We'd stay there forever
Just try to get up
And I'm sorry this wasn't easy
When I asked you
Believe me
And never let go

Well, I'm thinking of the worst things
That I could say to you
But a promise doesn't mean a thing anymore

And this never will be right with me
And now you're trying to desperately
But I'm tongue-tied
And terrified of what I'll say

And then we both go down together
We may stay there forever
I'll just try to get up
And I'm sorry that this wasn't easy
When I asked you
Believe me
You never let go
But I let go

I could only sing you sad songs
And you could sing along
And you could see the melody
That's been calling out your wrongs

And this never will be right with me
And now you're trying to desperately
But I'm tongue-tied
And terrified of what I'll say
But I never told you everything
I'm losing hope and fading dreams
And every single memory along the way

And then we both go down together
We may stay there forever
I'll just try to get up
And I'm sorry that this wasn't easy
When I asked you
Believe me
You never let go
But I let go

And we both go down together
And stay there forever
Just try to get up

And then we both go down together
We may stay there forever
I'll just try to get up
And I'm sorry that this wasn't easy
When I asked you
Believe me
You never let go
But I let go

Until Her Feet Don't Touch The Ground

I'm feeling quite buoyant today. This afternoon, I guess. The mornings and school are always a drag...and unavoidable, unfortunately. It seems odd to be attending school when frostbite can set in to 10 minutes. AND, I saw on the news today that Aberdeen was at -57 degrees today with the wind chill. Doesn't that suck? I'm sure they didn't have school there. The rest of the world didn't either, other than my school district. Figures. Oh well, only one more day to stumble through than we are all free for three days. Happy Martin Luther King Day!


To be honest with you, blogging community, the whole Martin Luther King Jr. story really makes me sad. We've been studying about it and other things related to the whole equal rights/peace movement in English as of late. It's never really struck me so hard before, but it does now. I saw a Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial commercial yesterday and I got teary-eyed. How could people have been so cruel? It just baffles me. It just seems so bizarre now that people would actually be so hateful to another human being just because their skin was a different color. We all bleed the same color, and it obviously took some people many more killings and deaths of innocent black people to finally see that. I'm just glad things like what happened during King's time doesn't happen as often anymore. It seems awful that stuff like that still happens in places in this modern time, doesn't it? I'm not very good at these talking about my opinion things, but I hope that might spark some thought in some of you, or at least help you understand my complete disgust over everything.

Peace.

Favorite Song of the Week

MY FAVORITE SONG THIS WEEK IS...

Walk On Water Or Drown
by: Mayday Parade


Well, this hurts me more than I can stand to say
In just one sitting, you left the room so I could pray
So I'll pace the halls to see
If I could find a hole in something
Or maybe places to escape

Oh, and everybody knows this is the part
Of breaking down in anybody's arms
I'm reaching down and hoping this one's ours
God, please let this stay

And then I fell into pieces and she fell into me
Saying, "Play me a song. It's been too long since I've heard you sing."

And you got here just in time
To let me know I was worth saving
It's nothing more than for the hearts
Too proud to breathe
But I'm too scared to say the things worth saying
Who knew this trip would be this hard?

As I'm looking to the sky to count the stars
I wonder if you see them where you are
I'm down on both my knees
And pray tomorrow brings no pain

And then I fell into pieces and she fell into me
Saying, "Play me a song. It's been too long since I've heard you sing."

And yeah, we all fall to pieces
But at least you fell to me
But this is a wrong night
Tell me goodnight and let it go

I stayed here and you just pray
My head would clear and I'd stay safe
And the pieces left
That love had changed
Just saved everything

Oh, and everybody knows this is the part
Of breaking down in anybody's arms
I'm reaching down and hoping this one's ours
God, please let this stay

And then I fell into pieces and she fell into me
Saying, "Play me a song. It's been too long since I've heard you sing." (x2)

And yeah, we all fall to pieces
But at least you fell to me
But this is a wrong night
Tell me goodnight and let it go, oh...
