I wanted to tell them how I feel
I'm just so easy to misunderstand
I wanted to not have to regret
What they said to me outside the hallway
I hope you plan to amend everything
When you decide to fall in love again without me
So, I'll pretend that I don't need you.
So, I'll deceive myself into thinking that I don't want to be your comfort.
We had separate plans.
No one was meant to get hurt
But not everything works out quite the way we want
It's hard enough to leave home
(I learned something. If you run the halls and trip, you get a nosebleed. If you go through life and trip, you cry. Tears just mean your heart has a nosebleed. I even told myself that I would never cry again.)
Remember the party
When you came all the way out to comfort me?
As you left in a hurry
I cried in the road and I called your name
I guess this is it
We broke our promise
To cease all the childish games
And after everything,
It was too hard to say
This is one of my favorite current bands. Conrad, the guitarist, runs the label that puts out our tapes. I love them. Christmas Lights changed my life. FFO: fun indie punk, absolute #shred Junpei Iori
The sickest lo-fi yelly emo out of central LA. Contains members of Passing a Starfighter, Bentley, and Arms&Legs. Also they're the sweetest people. FFO: kind of screamy emo, like Hiya Ses on Facebook. Junpei Iori
Sick EP by a friend in Monroe. Our old bands toured together once. Stokes is really fucking good at music. FFO: sporadic math, good song titles, the Twin Peaks intro song Junpei Iori
