so i dated this girl a few years back that dated this guy before me that wrote these songs for a band several of you no doubt like. the relationship was a train wreck, not at all helped by the fact that about 6 months in, this band released a new record. half the songs were self-pitying, wistful tracks about my then current girlfriend, and she was totally taken in by them.

this isnt a post to generate sympathy - like i said, it was years ago, but here are the some lyrics that can apparently turn a supposedly self-aware adult female to abandon common sense and start acting like she's 14 years old again:

How long will you wait for me to come around?
And wouldn't it be great if everything worked out?
I wouldn't come home late after hiding out.
I'd tell you everything.
How I couldn't life without you now.
How long will it take before I wake up unafraid to take you in my arms
and hold you like a lucky charm?
I know it's too late but wait for me to turn around.
I'm coming home so if you're leaving, walk slow.
All that I can ask is forgiveness for what's past.
You know who I am but will you know me in the end?
I know it's too late but wait for me to turn around.
I'm almost home so if you're leaving walk slow.
All that I can ask is forgiveness for what's past.
You know who I am, but will you know me in the end?
I know it's too late but wait for me to turn around.
I'm almost home, so if you're leaving, walk slow.
I know you're not waiting anymore and I'm not gonna change.
I try to reach you, to let you know, but I'm walking too slow.
Hey, how's your summer going?
It's good to see you again.
I'm gonna make a record so I never forget what it was I wrecked.
So tired of my mind.
You're a genius all the time.
The things that I can't say are all thinking me insane these days.
I know it's late.


meh. whatever.
