Addictions

I am always amazed by music. How it captures a moment, how it defines a feeling, how it can incapacitate the ability to breathe at times & then how it allows me to feel happier than I imagined or how it allows me to indulge in a good cry. Lately I have been reading & re-reading a book series. Those of you that know how deep I get into a story will probably just roll your eyes & hopefully smile at my idiosyncracies, but for those of you unfamiliar with my addictive tactics... well understand that my heart, my mind, my soul puts so much of itself into things I hear or read or write. It can be very overwhelming for me & those close in my circle. Lately due to this series I am reading, music has flown at me from every direction. Songs that before I loved just for their lyrics or melody now are connected to the series & it is my own personal movie soundtrack for my imagination. Anyway all of this babbling is because this post is going to involve lyrics. (BTW: for those who don't know I LOVE alternative music:) )The 2 songs that are just on constant repeat in my mind are listed below - I also added them to my music player at the bottom of my blog if you want to hear them. But with these songs, the words & the melody can exist together or alone.... anyway - my addictions are strong in this sense so bear with my madness :)

#1 Red Jumpsuit Apparatus: Your Guardian Angel
When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm stronger I've figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
It's okay its okay its okay
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Cuz you're my, you're my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away,Please tell me you'll stay, stay
Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be ok
Though my skies are turning gray
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

#2 Boys Like Girls: Hero/Heroine (THIS IS BEST IF YOU CAN HEAR THE ACOUSTIC VERSION)
It's too late baby, there's no turning around
I've got my hands in my pocket and my head in a cloud
This is how I do
When I think about you
I never thought that you could break me apart
I keep a sinister smile in a hole in my heart
You want to get inside
Then you need to get in line
But not this time
Cause you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
I won't try to philosophize
I'll just take a deep breath and I'll look in your eyes
This is how I feel
And its so surreal
I got a closet filled up to the brim
With the ghosts of my past and the skeletons
And I don't know why You'd even try
But I won't lie
You caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart all locked down
And then you turned me around
I'm feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded
And you caught me off guard
Now I'm running and screaming
I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?
