what they were thinking... Options

[Smarmosaur]

is there a song out there that every time you hear it you just think "damn, i'd pay my entire life savings to know what they were thinking when they wrote this"?
post the artist, title, and the lyrics. :]

mine is The Last Song Ever by Secondhand Serenade.

i wish my life was this song
'cause the songs they never die
i could write for years and years
and never have to cry
i'd show you how i feel
without saying a word
i could wrap up both our hearts
i know it sounds absurd

and i saw the tears on your face
i shot you down
and i slammed the door
but i couldn't make a sound
so please stay sweet my dear
don't hate me now
i can't tell how this last song ends

the way that i feel tonight
so down, so down
i pray i can swim
just so i won't drown
and the waves that crash over me
i am gasping for air
take my hand
so i can breathe, as i...
write this last song down

and i saw the tears on your face
i shot you down
and i slammed the door
but couldn't make a sound
so please stay sweet my dear
don't hate me now
i can't tell how this last song ends

the broken glass
your moistened skin
was everything, was everything

and your broken voice was quivering
you're everything, you're everything
scream at me
make it the best i ever heard
laugh out loud
i know it sounds absurd

scream at me
make it the best i ever heard
you're everything, you're everything

heartbeats, slowing pains are growing
does she love you
that's worth knowing

heartbeats, slowing pains are growing
does she love you
that's worth knowing

Well, pretty much any System of a Down song... haha.



or She Wants Revenge, like this one:
There's nothing to see here, people, keep moving on.
Slowly their necks turn, and then they're gone,
No one cares when the show is done.
Standing in line and it's cold and you want to go.
Remember a joke so you turn around
There's no one to listen, so you laugh by yourself.

I heard it's cold out, but her popsicle melts.
She's in the bathroom - she pleasures herself.
Says I'm a bad man. She's locking me out.
It's cause of these things.
It's cause of these things.
Let's make a fast plan. Watch it burn to the ground.
I try to whisper so no one figures it out.
I'm not a bad man, I'm just overwhelmed.
It's cause of these things.
It's cause of these things.

The crowd on the street walks slowly, don't mind the rain
Lovers hold hands to numb the pain
Gripping tightly to something that they'll never own
And those by themselves by choice or by some reward
No mistakes, only now you're bored
This is the time of your life but you just can't tell.

I heard it's cold out, but her popsicle melts.
She's in the bathroom - she pleasures herself.

Let's make a fast plan. Watch it burn to the ground.

I'm not a bad man, I'm just overwhelmed.
