I'm a Wishful Thinker With the Worst Intentions

Musical Break: Jimmy Eat World


Jimmy Eat World is definitly one band that I happen to think is severely under-appreciated. Their songs are true, real, and so relate-able to so many different groups of people. One song that has touched my life so deeply is Drugs or Me. It touched me, and continues to touch me now. I am dedicating this song right now to a person that I sit next too and I can't tell if what he says, does, or feels is him or the drugs... i wish it were him, but it will be a while until i can find out for sure...

Stay with me
You're the one I need
You make the hardest things
Seem easy

Keep my heart
somewhere drugs dont go
where the sunshine slows
Always keep me close

if only you could see
the stranger next to me
You promise that you're done
but I can't tell you from the drugs

Don't let go
we'll dig a great big hole
down an endless hole
we'll both go

You're so blind!
You can't save me this time
Hope comes from inside
And I feel so low tonight

if only you could see
The stranger next to me
You promise you promise that you're done
But I can't tell you from the drugs

I wish you could see
This face in front of me
You're sorry you swear it you're done
But I can't tell you from the drugs

(take me) I need your help
(so far away) To pull me up take the wheel
(take me) Out from me
(so far away) Out from me


Keep my heart
Somewhere drugs don't go
Where the sunshine slows
always keep me close


ps- side note from Jess: Leave the past in the past. that's where it was meant to be, so leave it there. Ok, so I added a little bit in there... but that's kosher. right?
