thunder.

Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go.

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer.
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder.
And I said, you're eyes are the brightest of all the colours.
I don't wanna ever love another.
You'll always be my thunder.

So bring on the rain, and bring on the thunder.

Today is a winding road.
Tell me where to start and tell me something I don't know.

I'm walking on a tightrope.
I'm wrapped up in vines.
I think I'll make it out.
You just gotta give me time.
Strike me down with lightning.
Let me feel you in my veins.
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain.

So bring on the rain.
Oh baby, bring on the pain.
And listen to the thunder.

not enough.

There's nothing you can say.
There's nothing you can do.
There's nothing in between.
You know the truth.
There's nothing left to face.
There's nothing left to lose.
Nothing takes your place.

And when they say you're not that strong..
You're not that weak.
It's not your fault.
When you climb up to your hill; up to your place..
I hope you're well.

There's nothing left to prove.
There's nothing I won't do.
There's nothing like the pain that I feel for you.
Nothing left to hide.
Nothing left to fear.
'Cause I am always here.


It's not enough to be here without you.

♥

survive.

Somewhere between happy and total fucking wreck.
Feet sometimes on solid ground, sometimes at the edge.
To spend your waking moments simply killing time,
is to give up on your hopes and dreams, to give up on your..

Life for you has been less than kind.
So take a number and stand in line.
We've all been sorry, we've all been hurt.
But how we survive, is what makes us who we are.

An obvious disinterest.
A barely managed smile.
A deep nod in agreement.
A status quo exile.
I shirk my obligations.
I miss all your deadlines.
I excel at quitting early, and fucking up my life.

Life for you has been less than kind.
So take a number and stand in line.
We've all been sorry, we've all been hurt.
But how we survive is what makes us who we are.

All smiles and sunshines.
A perfect world on a perfect day.
Life isn't like this.
Life isn't like this.

My Darkest Days. ♥

So last night Jenny, Ally and I hit up The Corktown to check out My Darkest Day's set.  I've seen them once before during Canadian Music Week and thought they were great then too.  They were fantastic last night as well!  I haven't seen one of those bands that just makes you feel so good in quite a while.  Something about them just gives you this rush while you're watching them play.  They make you want to "Move Your Body" (as one of their songs is titled). 

Every one of their songs reaches me on some level.  And I just think that their songs are just so catchy.

Like I already said, it's been so long since I've been to a show where the band just grabs you and gives you that feeling that makes you believe in the power of live music again.

I've missed that.

♥

when you find you, come back to me.

You say you gotta go and find yourself.
You say that you're becoming someone else.
Don't recognize the face in the mirror looking back at you.

You say you're leaving as you look away.
I know there's nothing really left to say.
Just know I'm here whenever you need me.
I'll wait for you.

So I'll let you go, I'll set you free.
And when you've seen what you need see,
When you find you, come back to me.

Take your time. I won't go anywhere.
Picture you with the wind in your hair.
I'll keep your things right where you left them.
I'll be here for you.

Oh and I'll let you go, I'll set you free.
And when you've seen what you need to see,
When you find you, come back to me.

And I hope you find everything that you need.
I'll be right here waiting to see.
You find you, come back to me.

I can't get close, if you're not there.
I can't get inside if there's no soul there.
I can't fix you, I can't save you.
It's something you'll have to do.

I'll let you go, I'll set you free.
And when you've seen what you need to see.
When you find you, come back to me.
Come back to me.

I'll let you go, I'll set you free.
And when you've seen what you need to see.
When you find you, come back to me.

And I hope you find everything that you need.
I'll be right here waiting to see.
You find you, come back to me.

You find you, come back to me.
When you find you, come back to me.
When you find you, come back to me.

He is the most amazing person I have ever encountered in my entire life.

When I was a little girl, I always bought into those fairytales and stories.
As I grew up, I unfortunately learned that situations and people come into your life that deceivingly appear as fairytales or appeal to you as such.  I learned in awful ways that you can be easily deceived by those hopeful moments in our lives.
As a result of this, I became pretty jaded.

Someone then came along who took that away.
He made me realise that those fairytale moments are possible.
He turned my hopes; things I never thought I could have, into a reality.
He gave me my faith back.. faith in the human population.. faith in love.. faith in life.

I wish he could see how much he's impacted my life.
I wish he would realise that this is worth the fight.

He is everything that I have ever wanted.

I have never felt happier or more content with myself and my life until him.
Everything just sort of fell into place when I met him.
He filled that hole, that void that was there.
He was the something that was missing.
He proved the rest of them wrong.
He proved to me that I deserve better than what I had.

I was skeptical in the beginning, because of the past.
But this was different.
I listened.
I reconsidered my original thoughts.
I trusted.
That jaded feeling faded.
I eventually believed.
I fell.
I allowed myself to become completely immersed within another person.
I had never felt so sure.

He is my best friend; the person I can tell my biggest secrets and my deepest thoughts to.
I trust him with my life.
We have so much fun; always.
We make eachother laugh.
He has this ridiculously contageous smile.
He makes me feel beautiful.
He is sensitive and not afraid to feel the things he wants/needs to feel.
He is so caring and generous.  There is nothing he won't do for his friends.
When we work as a team, I feel like we can take on anything.
He has this amazingly sweet side that not everyone gets the chance to see.
He accepts me for who I am; quirks and flaws included.
I can always be myself around him.  I never have to hide anything.
There is a comfort in his arms that I have never felt.
He is who I see myself going on life's adventures with.

The thought of losing that, is suffocating; devastating.

And despite everything, I am still so sure of what I want and what I forsee.
I have never wanted anything more in my entire life.
"Standing here until you make me move".
There is not a single reason that I can put into words as to why we shouldn't be together.
This is worth every ounce of energy that I have.
It is worth everything.

I love you.

The Script

So I've discovered a new band.  I'm actually not sure how new they actually are, but they're new to me.  I'm in love with them.  They're called The Script and they are not only fantastic, but also Irish, haha.

I absolutely LOVE the feeling of finding a new band that you just can't get enough of.  I can't describe it, but it's just such an awesome feeling.  I'm sure everyone knows what I mean.

They have a single on the radio right now called, "Breakeven".  It is a fantastic song.  The lyrics are phenominal.  In fact, lyrics are definitely this band's strong point.  I find that after listening to their self-titled album many times, all of their songs' lyrics are very well written.  I love the lead singer's voice as well.  Something about it just draws me in.  Many would say they sound just generically pop, but there's just something about them.  They blend their hip-hop style of lyrics with their pop music and have a great result.  I'm not sure what it is, but I've listened to the whole album many many times in a very short span of time and I am not even close to being sick of it.

The song from the album that has currently been my favourite is called, "Before the Worst".  You should definitely check it out.  It is a faster song than many of the songs on the album.  It tells a story of heartbreak; feeling lost and wondering how to get back what you once had and loved.  It sounds cliched, and some of the lyrics are.. but in this case it works and there are so many other lyrics through the song that are expressed in such a cool way that you dont even notice the cliches, at least in my opinion.  I just love how they choose to say things.  Maybe I'm just a sucker for songs about heartbreak with a great piano melody.  It's just a catchy song; worth checking out for sure.
They also have a video on their website for this song, as well as many others. 
Check the video/the band out at:  http://www.thescriptmusic.com/ca/home/

They're pretty great!
Now all I have to do is wait for them to tour in Canada!
You should for sure check out The Script, and let me know what you think of them!

Summer is here!

Summer vacation is finally here!
I hope everyone is relieved to be done exams and what-not and now can enjoy the wonderful warm weather!
I am now back home in Hamilton for the summer.  Hopefully I can make some money so I won't be broke for the better part of the school year next year.
I can't wait to see what summer will bring this year!  ..hopefully good things.
