Winter - Bayside

When Winter falls
Next year, I'll be holding on
To anything nailed down
As for being patient, with fate and all, it's getting old.
And my mind is slowly changing
I'm calling all my oldest friends,
Saying "sorry for this mess we're in,"

And I'm waiting, waiting
For the Sun to come and melt this snow,
Wash away the pain, and give me back control, control.

An angel got his wings,
And we'll hold our heads up knowing that he's fine.
We'd all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime.

Should we still set his plate?
Should we still save his chair?
Should we still buy him gifts?
And if we don't, did we not care?

It makes you think about the life you've led,
Shit you've done, things you've said.
And it's grounding, grounding.
I've been feeling three feet tall this month,
Hardly indestructible.
But the snow melts, and the rhythm still goes on.

An angel got his wings,
And we'll hold our heads up knowing that he's fine.
We'd all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime.
Friends stay side by side,
In life and death you've always stole my heart,
You'll always mean so much to me, it's hard to believe this

These nights in vans,
These nights in bars,
Don't mean a thing with empty hearts, with empty hearts.

An angel got his wings,
And we'll hold our heads up knowing that he's fine.
We'd all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime.
Friends stay side by side,
In life and death you've always stole my heart,
You've always meant so much to me, it's hard to believe
So much to me, it's hard to believe
So much to me, it's hard to believe this.

Song like this, songs that are dedicated to someone who died... they intrigue me.

It makes me think such cliche thoughts, thoughts about how short life really is. How even when we think it's not worth it, it is. The short time we have here on earth needs to be worth it. I wish I could make mine worth it. *sigh*

.. I've been feeling three feet tall this month ...

Heath Ledger, the actor, died today. Casey Calvert from the band Hawethorne Heights died not too long ago. Thousands of people die everyday. Thousands more are left with hurt everyday. Time goes on.

I can't help but wonder if anyone will write anything about me after I'm dead.
