Hymns of a Lost Soul

In my life, songs have been around for as long as I can remember. But I'm generally very picky with the songs I choose. This is perhaps because my lullaby was something different from the typical "Rock a Bye Baby" of other babies. My very first lullaby was "Eternal Flame" so I memorized the lyrics since I was 3. Go Figure, right? That's possibly why I'm more attached to songs similar to that or the reason why I listen very well to the lyrics of songs before I'm into them or why I don't have a particular favorite band. So, anyway, the title of this post is just for dramatic effect. I'm actually going to share the lyrics of some new songs I've discovered/listened to. I hope you like 'em. Don't be mislead by the lyrics. They don't indicate the feelings I have as of now, but I like them nevertheless.

The Rescue - American Hi-Fi

I wish we could back

to the beginning

cause there's something missing from your eyes.

We lost a lifetime

when I disappeared,

now I am coming back to you.



[Chorus:]

I wish I could fly, I know I can save us somehow.

You thought you were safe and sound but you need a hero now.

You gotta believe even with broken wings,

I've come to your rescue and you can't rescue me.



Summer's the season

but you're cold and freezing,

if there's a reason it's a lie.

When did I loose you,

I need you to pull through,

the weight of the world never felt so alive.



[Chorus x2]


Can't Let Go - Landon Pigg

Well youre the closest thing I have

To bring up in a conversation

About a love that didnt last

But I could never call you mine

Cause I could never call myself yours

And if we were really meant to be

Well then we justify destiny

Its not that our love died

Just never really bloomed



Well I cant let go

No, I cant let go of you

Youre holding me back without even trying to.

I cant let go

I cant move on from the past

Without lifting a finger youre holding me back.



And then we saw our paths diverge

And I guess I felt OK about it.

Until you got with another man,

And then I couldnt understand

Why it bothered me so.

How we didnt die we just

Never had a chance to grow.



I cant let go

No, I cant let go of you

Youre holding me back without even trying to.

I cant let go

I cant move on from the past.

Without lifting a finger youre holding me back.



And it might not make much sense

To you or any of my friends

Though somehow still you affect the

Things I do.

And you cant lose what you never had

I dont understand why I feel sad

Every time I see you out with someone new.



I cant let go

No, I cant let go

No, I cant let go of you.



I cant let go

No, I cant let go of you

Youre holding me back without even trying to.

I cant let go

I cant move on from the past

Without lifting a finger youre holding me back.



I cant let go

No, I cant let go of you

Youre holding me back without even trying to.

I cant let go

I cant move on from the past

..hmm.. i'll post the rest later on. I'm off to watch more FRIENDS.

I realized... I'm Rachel. I am so Rachel. Except for the I-date-a-lot-of-guys part.
