Title Me Please.

This one's about how sometimes my favourite bands can express how I'm feeling better than I ever could; how music can make me feel in love with being alive. I've slipped in lyrics and references as 'nods' to the bands in question too. How many can you pick up on?

We’ve forgotten how to have a good time
We go out but we keep it straight faced
We talk about life and loss and love
Forgive me if I sometimes see that as a waste.

We’ll all lie in graves with regrets
So why are we spending our lives under such restraint?
I’d rather face an awkward morning after
Than another boring respectable night...

Lose some sleep and say you tried,
Lets go and play crack the sky,
If you’re learning to live then now is the time
To make mistakes
Who destroyed your appetite?
You’re in the middle of the ride.
Let the glory of love make you feel alive,
For your own sake.

So when you hear a sad song, cry a little
And when you fall in love, fall hard.
The contents of your photo frames can always be replaced and changed
But you should always be proud of your scars.

You know I’m sorry but I’m sick
Of our pillow talk being politics.
There are kids who would kill for this...
Yeah, just a little bit.

And there are better ways to see my point of view,
Songs that could show you better than I could do.
That’s why I’m singing them now,
So you might stop to look around...

Do you think everything will stay this way forever?
Do you think anything will ever feel this good again?
I think not.

Lose some sleep and say you tried,
Lets go and play crack the sky,
If you’re learning to live then now is the time
To make mistakes.
Who destroyed your appetite?
You’re in the middle of the ride.
Let the glory of love make you come alive,
For your own sake.
