"Songs about Jaim" is my attempt to jot down any noteworthy thought, activity, adventure, or interesting anecdote of my existence. Everything I write here is a "lyric" in the 22nd verse of my life. Come sing along by my side as I sail through Ithaka.

Jimmy Eat World

Songs worthy of being written down at this point in time. . .

Drugs or Me

Stay with me
You're the one I need
You make the hardest things seem easy

Keep my heart
Somewhere drugs don't go
Where the sunshine slows
Always keep me close

If only you could see
The stranger next to me
You promise, you promise that you're done
But I can't tell you from the drugs

Don't let go
We'll dig a great big hole
Down an endless hole
We'll both go

You're so blind
You can't save me this time
Hope comes from inside
And I feel so low tonight

I wish that you could see
This face in front of me
You're sorry, you swear it, you're done
But I can't tell you from the drugs

Take me, I need your hand
So far, To pull me up
Take everything, out from me
So far, out from me.


23

I felt for sure last night
That once we said goodbye
No one else will know these lonely dreams
No one else will know that part of me
I'm still driving away
And I'm sorry everyday
I won't always love these selfish things
I won't always live. . . no stop this

It was my turn to decide
I knew this was our time
No one else will have me like you do
No one else will have me, only you

You'll sit alone forever
If you wait for the right time
What are you hoping for?

I'm here and now I'm ready
Holding on tight
Don't give away the end
One thing that stays mine

Amazing still it seems
I'll be 23
I won't always love what I'll never have
I won't always live in my regrets

well JaimO,
As the bastard responsible for all the heartache and sadness I just wanted to take another chance to tell you how special you are. I had a great time with you, and I hope we can continue our friendship. It hurts, I know because I hurt too. Its a terrible thing to spend all my quiet moments questioning myself. I'll always care for you.
