I’m really digging this band that Shivon showed me the other day. Here’s one of the songs from their album, “Passive Me, Aggressive You”, called “Girls Like You”.
Run, whirlwind run,
Further and further away,
Into the sun.
In twenty minutes,
Everyone will remember you when you’re gone.
And your heart is a stone,
Buried underneath your pretty clothes.
Don’t you know people write songs about girls like you?
What will you do when something stops you?
What will you say to the world?
What will you be when it all comes crashing
Down on you little girl?
What would you do if you lost your beauty?
How would you deal with the light?
How would you feel if nobody chased you?
What if it happened tonight?
How would you cope if the world decided to
Make you suffer for all that you were?
How could you dance if no one was watching,
And you couldn’t even care if they were?
What would you do if you couldn’t even feel?
Not even pitiful pain?
How would you deal with the indecisions
Eating away at the days?
Don’t you know people write songs about girls like you?
About girls like you…
Everything you say is higher.
All the things that make you lighter.
Everything you say is higher.
See it in the grey, you crier.
Don’t you know people write songs about girls like you?
About girls like you…
Everything you say is higher.
All the things that make you lighter.
Everything you say is higher.
See it in the grey, you crier.
