Say Anything Else - Cartel

And baby don't follow their lead
'Cause you'll never know
Just how the story ends, or how the story goes
And you are so confused
And baby it's just like you
To say anything else

Whenever you get this way
Just getting up for the let down,
Mmm here they come, and yes, they're here to stay
Just getting up for the let down
Oh I'm here to say that you're the star you wanna be
Just open up and look inside and you will see, yeah
Someday you'll sing it out loud
One day this will make you proud
Whoa oh, "I know..."
Whoa oh.

And baby don't follow their lead
'Cause you never know
Just how the story ends, or how the story goes
And you are so confused,
And baby it's just like you
To say anything else

It's time for you to understand
Stop getting up for the let down
Oh, who you are is not up to them
Stop getting up for the let down

And I'm here to say that you're the star you wanna be
Just open up and look inside you will see

Someday you'll sing it out loud
One day this will make you proud
Whoa oh, "I know..."
Whoa oh.

Someday you'll sing it out loud
One day this will make you proud
Whoa oh, "I know..."
"I know..." is never good enough
So say what you want
(You know I'm wasting all my time)
You've gotta mean it when you say what you want
(You're only safe when you're alone)
And everybody's on your mind
Saying anything to get you by

And so to get what you want
(You know I'm wasting all my time)
You've gotta mean it when you say what you want
(You're only safe when you're alone)
You're wasting everybody's time
You're saying anything that gets you by

It's not, not, not gonna get you,
Gonna get you by

Someday you'll sing it out loud
One day this will make you proud
Whoa oh, "I know..."
"I know..." is never good enough

Lately, I can't stop listening to this song.

I really like the "just getting up for the letdown" part. It basically describes me. I get so hyped up and hopeful for things, and then they don't end up happening. Like the Eleventyseven concert in Febuary, although I hope I'm not just getting up for the letdown, I may be going - if my parents decide they want to go up to Estes Park. So we'll see...

I used to get along with my parents really, really well. It's not like we've ever been close or anything, but I mostly obeyed and respected them. I was a great little kid, and even in junior high we got along. But lately it seems that I've been grinding a lot on their nerves, and them on mine as well. I suppose it's just part of being a teenager, but I'm not sure I like it. For instance, whenever my mom wants me to do something, the more she wants me to do it, the less I want to do it. Like playing guitar on the worship team at church. I'm okay with doing it, but the more my mother pushes me to do it, the less excited I am about it. Same thing with piano. My mom really wants me to start taking piano lessons again, but I'm not sure.. and the more she pushes, the less I want to do it. Same thing with schoolwork - writing in particular. It's really frustrating.

Yeah.

I'm really excited for the Civil War Ball on Saturday. It's going to be fun. I'm going to wear the dress from the play.. since it's fancy enough and all. Although, we're making the sleeves shorter and I'm going to wear a hoop skirt and some oldishfancyish jewlery too.

Oh! And I'm gonna hopefully get a new camera soon. I really want one.. that right now I can't think of the name of it.. but it's a Canon, and it's a pretty good camera. I've only had cheapy cameras before, so I've been wanting to get a good one, and this one that I want is a good one.

Ooh, yeah.. and if I do end up going to that Eleventyseven concert (which I'm hoping and praying!), I'm going to make Caleb a birthday cake. Because they're going to be here on Caleb's birthday. Should be fun.

Au Reviour.
