the stars



stars (the band) has been a recent favorite, as of late.
every now and then they have a slightly impressive composition, but most of the time i'd rate the music itself as fairly average.
it's the lyrics that really get under my skin and tickle around in my brain.



"when there's nothing left to burn
you have to set yourself on fire
...God that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said 'yes I think we've met before'
Your quiet eyes
your mouth that never tells lies
You've got one hour,
IT'S TIME YOU TOLD YOUR STORY...

...write what you know...

-Fall into a corner
-Watch your favorite show
-Pray to God to see her
-Write what you know

...Try as he might, he's unable to speak
He grabs her by the hair, he strokes her on the cheek
The bed is unmade, like everything is
Dark little heaven at the top of the stairs...

...And everyday, it's changed since then
...In every way, I've changed since then

Live through this, and you won't look back...


So good when it ends, they'll never be friends

It's nothing but time and a face that you lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose

I'm not sorry I met you
I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save

I'm not sorry there's nothing to save...

Time can take it's toll on the best of us

Sometimes the T.V. is like a lover
Singing softly as you fall asleep
You wake up in the morning and it's still there
Adding up the things you'll never be

...In every way, I've changed since then
