Runnin Late With A Broken Watch
2003-07-28@6:33 p.m.
Hey.
I feel dull today. Maybe I'm just tired, I had an early start to my day. I've been thinking about a lot of things lately. About how I'm gonna be stretchin myself over like fifty thousdand miles this year tryna be in too many places at once doin too many things at once, it's gonna be harsh. Can I take it? We'll find out.
Brand New is a great band. I twisted around some of the words in a song of theirs to help myself out somtimes. I'll put the original and then the way I re-wrote them....kinda.
"So is that what you call a getaway? Tell me what you got away with, cuz I seen more spine in jellyfish. I seen more guts in 11 year old kids. So, have a another drink and drive yourself home, I hope there's ice on all the roads, and you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt and again when your head goes through the windsheild."
"So is this what I call a getaway? Tell what I got away with, cuz I seen more spine in jellyfish. I seen more guts in 11 year old kids. So I'll take this knife and I will make it my own, but it's hard to pierce it through a heart of stone. So I'll think of God, and how my friends would hurt, and I'll put the blade back and I'll pray about it first."
It kept me from contemplating/doing really stupid things. I tend to change words to songs to fit my emotions. Sorry to all you bands out there who work really hard at your lyrics. Most of the time they fit me, but sometimes I just re-touch them without thinking about it.
Bands to listen to:
Taking Back Sunday
Thursday
Brand New
Silverstien
Mest
American Hi-Fi
A.F.I.
Atreyu

So go on.
Leave me hear to cry myself to sleep.
You never gave me any reason to hate you, but I wish that you had.
This despise for you would make so much more sense to me.
And when you,
If you ever realize what you didn't do to me.
You still won't understand why I ignore you, and you never have.
So go on and wonder but you'll never uncover my reasons.
Cuz I don't even get the way I work, like a broken clock with brand new batteries.
People just keep wondering why it doesn't work, but they don't take the time to study it.
So it goes on.
Unfixed.
Still broken.
And it'll stay that way till someone who's in desperate need of a watch comes along and takes the needed time to understand it.
And obviously that someone wasn't you.
