Barricades by Fyfe Dangerfield

When love is a crippled dream
When love is a crippled dream
That's where you'll find me
Saying I'm not afraid

And when love is a barricade
When love is a barricade
That's where I'll find you
Saying we're already made

I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day
Don't go away

When love is a howling face
Trapped in a hollow place
I won't surrender
or give you up

So don't put up these barricades
We don't need barricades
We have each other
And that won't fade

I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day
Don't go away

To the dark, to the smoke
To those downstairs
No fares

I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day



notus: this song makes me wonder how it's like to be with anthony.

Everything Trying by Damien Jurado

I'd call you now to tell you I'm thinking of you
But it does me no good when the phone is just blocking my view
And I would sail back to you
And I would sail back to you

And I would come back and admit that it wasn't your fault
But I'm tired and unwilling to be the only one who was wrong
And I would sail back to you
And I would sail back to you
And I would sail back to you

I'll be sailing on your deep blue eyes...


notus: i'm in love with your sadness.

Big Empty by Stone Temple Pilots

drivin' faster in my car
falling farther from just what we are
smoke a cigarette and lie some more
these conversations kill
falling faster in my car

time to take her home
her dizzy head is conscience-laden
time to take a ride
it leaves today no conversation
time to take her home
her dizzy head is conscience-laden
time to wait too long
to wait too long
these conversations kill

too much walkin', shoes worn thin
too much trippin' and my soul's worn thin
time to catch a ride
it leaves today, her name is what it means
too much walkin', shoe's worn thin


notus: rockin' and rollin' with STP at the Indoor Stadium brings back a lot of childhood memories. once a rocker, always a rocker!!!

Smile by David Gray

I'm falling by the wayside
I'm sinking with the sun
Everything I do
Is wrong wrong wrong
Gazing at the billboards
Staring down the broken lines

Sleeping on the backseat
I could not believe
You were right up there beside me
Tugging at my sleeve
And putting up your lipstick
Just like you did a thousand times
And something in your eyes that makes me smile
Oh yeah
Something in your eyes that makes me smile
Oh yeah
I wake up in the darkness
Its more than I can stand
I'm reaching out to touch it
It breaks up in my hand
I've never known the headlights
To shine so cold

I'm waiting for the morning
To steal over the hills
I'm urging for the road
To speed these wheels
I'm watching for the sunrise
Turning all the teardrops gold

Cause something in your eyes that makes me smile
Oh yeah
Something in your eyes that makes me smile
Oh yeah
And something in your eyes that makes me smile
Oh yeah
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah



notus: oh, paul, you have your ways that leaves me smiling.

Sarah by Ray LaMontagne

When we first met we were kids, we were wild, we were insects
And after a while, i grew coarse, i grew cold, i grew reckless
I hold this memory, hold you so close to me, whispered were we always happy
Lately it feels like i'm asleep and i just can't wake up
Pacing the floor, want to call, but i can't so i hang up
Sharing a secret on the train with a lady who's crying has ruined her make up

Now i see just how young, how scared i was
Eyes closed tight, throwing punch after punch at the world
Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same
Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same

Said goodbye to all the places i used to go
Said goodbye to all the faces i used to know
Nothing lasts forever
I guess by now, i should know
I should know

There ain't a thing i can say that will ever repair
And you, who had so much advice, and yet couldn't share
Maybe someday, we will look back at this and we'll smile, but right now i can't bear

Now i see just how young, how scared i was
Eyes closed tight, throwing punch after punch at the world
Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same
Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same


notus: and this, for you paul.
