Lyrics: Penny For Your Thoughts

I've realized recently that I'm a lyrics person. My drama teacher in 7th grade asked once what we noticed first from a song... most people said beats or melody but I said lyrics. Lyrics speak to me and makes me feel and identify with the emotions the writer is trying to get across. This is why I have songs I like for dances (fluffy lyrics) and songs I listen to when I'm feeling a certain way. I was reading Alex DeLeon's blog and I realized he's one of the deepest people alive (overstatement a little bit, I could be clouded by my love) and I had an epiphany. The reason I love The Cab's music so much is that the lyrics reach out and touch my soul. I mean the melody is awesome and Ian, Cash, Marshal and Johnson are amazing! But, it's the lyrics that I love the most because it draws me in and makes me think about stuff. Alex was describing how he came up with the lyrics for Zzzzz... So I listened to it again and I realized how much it related to my life. I miss so many things relationships that have been lost and the life that I left behind and the lyrics moved me a lot so I'm posting them for everyone so maybe they'll have the same effect for someone else. 

And I'm up, down, I'm spinning around High and dry and kicked to the ground I'm lost and I'll never be found My lips were much too shy The lines about you, they never rhymed You said I never get things right (I never said I was the best thing for you) And baby, where'd you go?  I need you here tonight Singing myself to sleep And you're still my favorite melody It's been three weeks How long can this go on?  Singing myself to sleep And you're haunting every memory Get out, goodbye Get out of my life Goodnight And you're hot, cold You're not available You run while I lose control I miss you Forever you'll stay gold You know I'm not getting by I've lost it, you're in my mind And everyday's the darkest of my life (life) (I never said I was the best thing for you) Baby, where'd you go?  I need you here tonight Singing myself to sleep And you're still my favorite melody It's been three weeks How long can this go on?  Singing myself to sleep And you're haunting every memory Get out, goodbye, get out of my life 'cause I'm drowning (when I close my eyes) And I'm fallin' (can't breath tonight) And a story I fade to black inside (I never said I was the best thing for you) 'cause I'm drowning (when I close my eyes) And I'm fallin' (can't breath tonight) And a story I fade to black inside (inside) Singing myself to sleep And you're still my favorite melody It's been three weeks How long can this go on?  Singing myself to sleep And you're haunting every memory Get out, goodbye, get out of my life 'cause I'm drowning when I close my eyes And I'm fallin', can't breath tonight And a story I fade to black inside
