No hope, no harm—just another false alarm

“Maybe we’ll live and learn, maybe we’ll crash and burn—maybe you’ll stay, maybe you’ll leave, maybe you’ll return…”

the number of times i listen to this song and look at this album cover every day is unhealthy

“I just want it like before

We were dancing all night

They took you away, stole you out of my life

You just need to remember…”

“I must admit
I can’t explain
Any of these thoughts racing through my brain, it’s true
Baby, I’m howling for you”

“Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide…”

“Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I’m sure, I’m sure
You’ve heard it before…”

“I was meant to tread the water
Now I’ve gotten in too deep
For every piece of me that wants you
Another piece backs away…” 

“Sad and sweet, the tale of love
Just short of being just enough…”

“there’s no combination of words
i could put on the back of a postcard
no song that i could sing
but i can try for your heart…”

“But you didn’t have to cut me off 
Make out like it never happened 
And that we were nothing…”
