leather-studded kiss

i have come to the realization that i like lady gaga.

yeah, she wears ridiculous outfits, and "Poker Face" is muy annoying, but i am really enjoying her new stuff. "Bad Romance", "Speechless" and "Telephone", which features a very fierce Beyonce, are constantly being played on my iPod. YOU CANNOT DENY THEIR CATCHINESS. i wanna learn the Bad Romance dance so badly. not as badly as the Single Ladies dance, but still.

SO SUE ME.

we looked like giants

i wish that Ben Gibbard could observe the moments in my life and write beautiful songs about them.

whether it's his work with Death Cab For Cutie, or his side-project The Postal Service, he has a way of taking the smallest moments and details and making them interesting, real, and just really pretty pieces of music. like the light brown streaks of a girl in Tiny Vessels, a song about realizing you told someone you loved them when you really don't. "yes, you are beautiful, but you don't mean a thing to me."

the simple action of looking for some legal documents in his glove compartment inspired him to write Title and Registration, one of my favourites, a song about when his relationship was actually good. "and there's no blame / for how our love did slowly fade / and now that it's gone / it's like it wasn't there at all."

i wish there was some way to make this possible ' cause i need someone to make sense of what is going on right now, and Ben just seems like the man for the job.

it's like forgetting the words to your favourite song

you can't believe it, you were always singing along

it was so easy and the words so sweet

you can't remember, you try to feel the beat

"Boys With Girlfriends" - Meiko

When I first met you

I knew you were the one
Till you took me home
And I met her

She had your boxers on
And she was listening to your song
And I thought right then that she had
Everything

But I knew
She was jealous from the start
Yeah I knew
She was jealous from the start

Cause I know better
Not to be friends
With boys with girlfriends
oh I know better than that
I know better
You play the victim
And I'll be the bad guy
I know better than that
I know better

We started hanging around
After nine
I could of sworn
That I was yours

You looked at me and said,
"It's a little too late for bed"
We went to the hotel
And talked about everything

Cause what she did to us was tragic
And I had to do what's right
What we had was really magic
But I had to get what's mine

What's mine
I'll get what's mine
And you'll get yours

"Sexiness wears thin after a while, and beauty fades, but to be married to a man who makes you laugh everyday, ah, now that's a treat." - Joanne Woodward

it's like chasing the very last train when it's too late

oh, it tears me up

i tried to hold on but it hurts too much

i tried to forgive but it's not enough

to make it all okay

you can't play our broken strings

you can't feel anything

that your heart don't want to feel

i can't tell you something that ain't real

the truth hurts, the lies worse

how can i give anymore?

when i love you a little less than before

- "Broken Strings" James Morrison
