Taking Back Sunday.

I'm selfish and I'm fucking disappointed. And this time it's getting to me.

But fuck that. I've been listening to Taking Back Sunday since I was 15, and tonight I'm going to go see them, so fuck this shit. Fuck the letdowns. Fuck Summer. Even though I don't like their new album, it's for all those goddamn years I turned on my boombox and turned it up.

Here's to Taking Back Sunday:
So sick, so sick of being tired.
And oh so tired of being sick.
We're both such magnificent liars.
So crush me baby, I'm all ears.
So obviously desperate, so desperatly obvious.
I'll give in one more time and feed you stupid lines all about "its basic..."
-"You Know How I Do"

You've got me right where you want me
(let's never talk) Let's never talk, let's never,
let's never talk about this again because...
I didn't want it to mean that much to me
-"Bike Scene"

Hoping for the best just hoping nothing happens
A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins
I will never ask if you don't ever tell me
I know you well enough to know...
Why can't I feel anything from anyone other than you?
- "Cute Without the E (Cut From the Team)"

Well I can't regret,
can't you just forget it?
I started something I couldn't finish
And if we go down, we go down together
best friends means,
well best friends means
And I've got a twenty-dollar bill that says
you're up late night starting fist fights versus fences in your backyard
Wearing your black eye like a badge of honor
Soaking in sympathy
from friends who never loved you
nearly half as much as me
-"There's No I In Team"

September never stays this cold
where I come from
And you know I’m not one for complaining,
But I love the way you’d roll
excuses off the tip of your tongue
as I slowly fall apart (slowly, quietly, slowly)
fall apart
-"Great Romances of the 20th Century"

This is me with the words on the tip of my tongue
And my eye on the scope down the barrel of a gun
I'll never act this way again
-"Timberwolves at New Jersey"

you know, the million things you had to say
sorry just, just might have found it's way in there
somehow, someway
But don't worry sweetie cause I already know
-"The Blue Channel"

I'd never lie to you
Unless I had to I'll do what I got to
Unless I had to I'll do what I got to,
the truth is you could slit my throat
And with my one last gasping breath
I'd apologize for bleeding on your shirt
-"You're So Last Summer"

Well I got a bad feeling about this,
I got a bad feeling about this (in you...).
I'm coming over but it never was enough,
I thought it through and my worst brings out the best in you
-"A Decade Under the Influence"

Some words that kept my ears busy and my foot tapping. Hope they play all my favorite songs. Or not, maybe two will do...it'll make my summer.

Hey, Fun, I guess you're so last summer... heh.
