"23" - Jimmy Eat World
So, I'm definitely breaking my own rules, but I can't help it. I'm on a Jimmy fix and it's too addicting to ignore. I saw them live on Tuesday night and for the first time, I intentionally forgot my camera. And guess what? They were right above me, right there that I swear if I tried to squeeze through, I could've made it to the edge of the stage and touched Jimmy's feet.
It was an intimate crowd inside the Fox Theater. It almost felt like I just happened to stroll by unexpectedly only to find a band that would hold my heart forever...They played oldies, but goodies that took me back to another time when things were different; when I was different. This song was the first song of their encore performance and it filled me with so much hope, but left me empty inside. Later, in an effort to fill this void, I searched for my sketch book with the infamous red dragon and remembered an entry I wrote about my accomplishments (and a few flops) entitled, "All @ 23." I think it's very fitting to share it with you now:
I graduated from college.
Broke off a strong, 12-year best friendship.
Got in touch with an old friend 2 kids and a husband later.
Fell in and out of love in 3 months.
Joined a gym for 3 years.
Moved out of the house for the first time ever.
Became an assistant manager and then quit!
Got close with my ex "soul mate."
Discovered the joys of text messaging.
Learned how to burn a cd.
Used my laptop (what I've wanted even before it was invented "a portable computer").
Hung up Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh
Got a $400.00 Coach bag.
Wore a size 5 corduroy pants and it fit!
Saw Celine in Vegas and Tori sing as Scarlet.
Got used, abused, and misled.
Got poetry-slammed for the first time.
House decor - what a dream come true.
Satisfied my cravings with Carrows "late nite" dinner feast.
Pitch black and deep red invade my hair and I love it!
Finally, my very own room.
All by myself.
All my stuff.
Filled with memories.
My time with mine.
Hidden in this lil' black book (now posted for all to see).
All @ 23...
Lyrics:
I felt for sure last night
That once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me
I'm still driving away
And I'm sorry every day
I won't always love these selfish things
I won't always live...
Not stopping...
It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
Amazing still it seems
I'll be 23
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine
You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?
I'm here I'm now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
The one thing that stays mine...
