"Always Be" - Jimmy Eat World
I've had this song on repeat for a couple of days (after my Eminem and Rhianna phase). It's only about 3-minutes long so I need a few plays before I'm ready to move on. I never really paid attention to the lyrics until yesterday afternoon and then it suddenly hit me. Funny... Anyways, I was trying to find another song since I recently wrote about Jimmy Eat World, but since I couldn't get passed it and no other songs were available (see Bitchin' post below), I figured that Jimmy wanted me to write about them again.
Here's the latest updates. I've been keeping busy with each day that goes by, a definite change in me although a subtle one (I've yet to go through my metamorphosis). I used to want to go straight home to be in the quiet of my own room, pop in a Sex and the City DVD, and let the night end with a little food for thought and a certain someone by my side. Things have been difficult, but as they say "difficult isn't impossible." The most noticeable difference is time and plenty of it and of course, refocusing on just me. I think I bought more stuff for myself in the last week than I ever bought in a year (minus food).
Shopping has helped me reach my starting point, but it's weird not browsing through the boys/mens section. It's weird not having to check in. It's weird not having to worry about anyone else's itinerary or planning around a "we" vs. a "me." There have been some great points about this that I can get used to and it has been extremely less stressful, but when I do have a brief gap in-between my schedule to think even for a second I can't help, but feel a little empty; that this whole rigmarole is only a temporary fix and the sadness tries to weigh in. So I'll keep busy until this familiar emptiness fills up. Hopefully, soon.
So, Jimmy what are you trying to tell me, huh? I ask you even if I already know the answer. The last line of your first verse finally sunk in and here I am still floating.
Lyrics:
Could've been a night like any other
One of us has to drive
One of us gets to think
I'll force a laugh to break the silence
It's gonna get harder still
Before it gets easy
You can't keep safe what wants to break
I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach
I was just a boy like every other
I thought I was something fierce
I thought I was ten times smarter
Love would be something that I just know
(Something I just know)
How you gonna know the feeling till you've lost it
I've been losing plenty since
I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach
Maybe there's something else I'm missing
Something good and you're the reason
It's a dream but there's a real world waiting
I'm alone in this
I'm as I've always been
Right behind what's happening
She's all lost in this
She's all like she'll always be
A little far for me to reach
