June 13, 2002 // 7:38 a.m. // Sometimes lyrics say it all

Sometimes I post when I have absolutely no idea what I want to say. Be that as it may, I took a trip to the grocery store on Monday night, and before I got the CD player (as they say 'cd player' on TV) working properly, I heard a few songs on the radio. Ever song seemed to describe how I felt.

"Now I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held on to
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you
I'm living for the only thing I know
I'm running and I'm not quite sure where to go
And I don't know what I'm diving into
Just hanging by a moment here with you"

And because we have to have a male version of Michelle Branch (and I don't care how poppy it is, I like this song)

"They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something's better
On the other side

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you've got to rise above"

Finally, on Tuesday, I found myself listening to the radio again, due to the fact I was forced to drive the CD'less Pontiac. And again, sure it's poppy, but I'm hooked on this new April Lavigne song.

"Chill out what ya yellin for
Lay back it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
Then you will see

Somebody else round everyone else
Watchin' your back like you can't relax
Trying to be cool, you look like a fool to me
Tell me

Why you have to go and make things so complicated
I see the way your acting like your somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
You fall and you crawl and you break and you take what you get
And you turn it into
Honestly promise me I'm never gonna find you fakin'"

It looks like I'm going to the concert tonight after all. Apparently, tickets will be available at the door. But I only found this out after getting only recorded messages for a few hours. Good thing, too. Otherwise it would have been quite a waste to learn all of those songs from the new album so quickly.
