I broke into your house last night
And left a note at your bedside
I'm far too shy to speak to you at school
You leave me numb and I'm not sure why
I find it easier to sit and stare
Than push my limbs out towards you right there
My heart is bursting in your perfect eyes
As blue as oceans and as pure as skies
I struggle for the words and then give up
My heads up with the birds on the t-hut
A little piece of mind that I know better
That the plain disgrace of all my letters
After that the floodgates opened up
And I fell in love with everyone I saw
Please take your time I'm not in any rush
And it's in everything I ever write
It's not as if I need the extra weight
Confused enough by life so thanks a lot
Lonely written words for company
Just raise the roof this once and follow me
I can't stop listening to Britpop lately, especially the above song. It encapsulates everything I feel lately, other than the stalkerish tendency of breaking into someone's house. I'm not a romantic sap by any means, but I think that Brits write the best love songs. I mean, I wish someone had written Yellow (by Coldplay) about me. Not the typical love song, but so clearly meant as such. They're such pure delights, all poppy and light with lyrics that force you to listen to what the person is saying.
I feel as this one's about the beginning of a relationship: that place where you don't know how to deal with seeing the other person, or how much you can infringe on their personal space, or where you're wondering what they're thinking, or where they are during the day. I especially love the last two verses, but especially "Confused enough by life so thanks alot". I also love how on my iTunes, this song segues into 'Chocolate', another of my favourite Snow Patrol songs, which I feel is sort of the ending of a relationship. Perfect bookends.
