i feel like i've been binging on clarity by jimmy eat world lately. blogging about it, talking to people about it, listening to it. if i keep doing this, i am going to be sick of this record just in time for the show.
i'm officially putting a moratorium on jimmy eat world here on the blog until the actual show in february.
as a formal send-off to jimmy eat world, i am posting the lyrics to the hands down best jimmy eat world song ever. if you argue with me on this, you are dead to me.
"for me this is heaven"
the first star i see
may not be a star
we can't do a thing but wait
so let's wait for one more
the time, such clumsy time
in deciding if it's time
i'm careful but not sure how it goes
you could lose yourself in your courage
when the time we have now ends
and when the big hand goes round again
can you still feel the butterflies?
can you still hear the last goodnight?
the mindless comfort grows
when i'm alone with my 'great' plans
this is what she said gets her through it
"if i don't let myself be happy now, then when?"
if not now, when?
when the time we have now ends
and when the big hand goes round again
can you still feel the butterfles?
can you still hear the last goodnight?
i close my eyes and believe
that wherever you are
an angel for me
jimmy eat world, you fucking kill me, dudes.

Way to rip out my 19 year old heart JEW.
Best song in the world. I feel like this was my Friendster / Myspace / whatevertheheck "About Me" section several times:
"if i don't let myself be happy now, then when?"
if not now, when?
My comment is "no comment."
oh my GOD, phil williams. i hope you have an itunes playlist that includes this, and the jens song. and that country jam i sent you that you never listened to. for real.
stabbed.
i started reading the lyrics and immediately grabbed my ipod to sync up the song. still amazing after all these years!
