I just listened to Like Knives for the first time in probably a few weeks. A bunch of shit has happened between me and a certain someone in that time and while listening to the wrods I almost burst out into tears..

I will blame myself.. can I have you!

I can barely even handle it..

The verses that drive me literally crazy most of all are . .

"Do you think i would call just to hear you breathe . . ?"

And the way he sings those words and everything . . Reminds me of someone i love very much and umm . . Pfff, it sends shivers down my spine when i hear it . . I can't get those words out of my mind no matter what ! They're also in my fav song from Alexisonfire . . "Where No One Knows"

Will you ever just slow down?
How did we end up here?
And all those sirens are getting louder.
Flashing lights and racing hearts.
I don't think we're gonna make it out.
This won't end well. (...Make it out...)
This won't end well.

I have to say
my personal faves for lyrics are sleeping sickness (demo version and BMYL)
and missing
beautiful lyrics in both
and such meaning
But also When She has amazing lyrics

The lyrics to Sidewalks are my favourite (does that count? I never know if it started off as a C&C song or an Alexis song).

"Dressed to kill you look so right. I am drunk with lust tonight. Your wounds are opening wide and they might be just my size.
Now I'm afraid of open water but I often bathe in sin. Let's be honest you know you shouldn't bother cuz with me it's impossible to win

There was always warmth between us."

If I ever get to hear this song live I will float for about a week. It pretty much started my whole fandom.

Other than that I have to say that I love Sam Malone and Day Old Hate which still makes me cry. Currently my favourite is Sleeping Sickness as I've been an insomniac on and off over the years and for me nights are just such a struggle sometimes. I fight sleep because I'm scared I won't wake so:-

"I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me. Such as living with the uncertaintity. That I'll never find the words to say that would completely explain, just how I'm breaking down."

It's nice to know there are other people out there going through it

I feel like I can tell you guys this, you probably wont make fun of me:

Well, a lot of the not-being-able-to-sleep songs I can relate with.. so I should choose one of those songs probably.. but personally I really like happiness by the kilowatt when he performs it just as city and colour. I wish he would figure some beautiful way to do it on guitar so I can play it too; I'm too lazy to get a piano.

"So this is continuous happiness
You know, I always
Imagined it something more
With the right drapes, the right paints
The right frames, this could really work
What a great day to spend indoors

So where has all the day gone?
And why are my lungs aching when I breathe?
Is there something wrong with the heat?
Why am I so cold?
And my heart feels sick
And it hurts when I speak"

I had like a girlfriend who I dated for over a year and I really felt in love with her, and eventually it all came crashing down. Now looking back on it, I kinda feel like I was fooling myself, trying to make things work so hard that I was overlooking the fact that I really wasn't happy, I was putting up with so much shit and so many sleepless nights because I was kinda putting a mask on our relationship trying to hide what it was from myself, and so even if those lyrics aren't written in that sense, they make me feel that way. Like, I have really bad anxiety, no like of physical things, but of the things I can't control.. things I don't know for sure about.. the future to generalize it.. and so like I really do have aching lungs when I get so stressed out about things over a long period of time, and I was always just thinking I was sick or something. I was always having this feeling of nervousness that made me want to cry and stuff, so my heart hurt. And I just was really depressed, but I held on. And now we're done and over with, but that song always reminds me. I really love it. I cover it when I do acoustic shows.

That's exactly what I was going to say. But yeah, In the Water I am Beautiful is easily one of my favorites.
