...as a result of signals being crossed.

I have absolutely no idea what's even going on anymore.

Complete and utter confusion...

I don't know what to do, I don't know what to think.
I want to be where you are, I want to be what you need.
If I write you this song will you come back to me?
This isn't something so easy to forget,
At least not for me.

Your house.

Listening to a band from Arizona sing me exactly how I feel about a girl from Arizona and wondering why Jim Adkins seems to have predicted my entire life in lyrics.

Bedroom talk.

I got the talk when I was younger and understood. As I recall they hadn't mentioned this at all. My heart was racing like a sprinter that tripped and fell in love with a girl. Just for tonight. And that's all.

I've got big, big plans and they've got to mean something more than just once. I just don't know what I want.

I'm gonna tear your ass up like we just got married and you're all mine now. Tonight is the night we've been waiting for all our lives... or maybe for just tonight.

I got the call when I was older and I understood: If it happens, then it happens. And that's all. My arm's the hose and you're the fire, out of control, and I've got to put you out before there's nothing left at all.

I've got big, big plans and they've got to means something more than just once. I just don't know what I want.

I'm gonna tear your ass up like we just got married and you're all mine now. Tonight is the night we've been waiting for all our lives.

Or maybe for just mine.

Get your ass up 'cause you're in no hurry like I am now. I'm getting older and older all of the time. Or maybe for just tonight

And the next part is the hardest to admit and explain, but I've got to get it right.
She said I'll chew you up and spit you out like all of them. "I'm gonna put you right back in my mouth. You know that I will always love you."

Relapsing.

The saddest songs can sing themselves.

We just sing along.

Cover what you can.

I just downloaded the new Punk Goes Pop 2 and Punk Goes Crunk. I was very disappointed. Since when did covering songs turn into learning songs and then playing them, keeping them as close to the original version as possible? That's not a good cover. That's what talentless bar bands do every weekend to pay their bills. A good cover should sound like it was originally written by the band performing it. Not an identical version with some guitars and some different vocals. That's a remix, at best. Oh, and if you're going to cover a song, at least know the words to the original. (I'm looking at you, Cartel.) Come on.

Anyway, to illustrate my point, here's a playlist of some really great cover songs you should listen to:

Motion City Soundtrack -
My Valuable Hunting Knife (Guided By Voices)
The Sun Woke The Whole State (Limbeck) - MCS/Limbeck Split EP
Truth Hits Everybody (The Police) - Policia!
Bayside -
Megan (The Smoking Popes) - Acoustic
Thursday -
Ny Batteri (Sigur Ros) - War All The Time B-Side
Further Seems Forever -
Bye Bye Bye (N*Sync) - Punk Goes Pop
The Postal Service -
Against All Odds (Phil Collins) - B-Side
Copeland -
Black Hole Sun (Soundgarden) - Punk Goes 90's
Stretch Arm Strong -
Get This Party Started (P!nk) - Punk Goes Pop
Rufio -
Like A Prayer (Madonna) - Punk Goes Pop
The Early November -
The Power Of Love (Huey Lewis & The News) - Punk Goes 80's
Saves The Day -
I Melt With You (Modern English) - I'm Sorry I'm Leaving EP
Jimmy Eat World -
Game Of Pricks (Guided By Voices)
The Starting Line -
Big Time Sensuality (Bjork) - Punk Goes 90's
I'm Real (Jennifer Lopez) - Punk Goes Pop

People need to start making covers like these again. People need to start being creative again.

All Time Low are pussies.

That's all.

She paints me blue.

The Secret Life Of The American Teenager has gotten so ridiculous that I don't know if I can keep watching it or not.

We are so close to finishing our EP and I am so incredibly excited.

I am so far in debt right now that it's not even funny, but I think I can figure it out.

I miss you so much and on days like these I feel like you don't care at all. I'm so afraid that this won't work out.
