So what would you think of me now,
so lucky, so strong, so proud?
~Hear You Me,
Jimmy Eat World, Bleed American

"Cried all night until there was nothing more
What use am I as a heap on the floor?
Heaving devotion but it's just no good
Taking it hard just like you knew I would
~Sentimental Heart
She & Him, Vol 1.

Old habits die hard
When you got, when you got a sentimental heart
Piece of the puzzle and you're my missing part
Oh, what can you do with a sentimental heart?"

Who says you can't make a great song out of eight lines? All ya need.

I like this song, because it is a ballad in the traditional sense.

Put your trust in simple acts.
Believe in What You Want
-Jimmy Eat World, Clarity

I'm not sure how productive I was today. I'm not sure it matters. I did a lot, sure. But what was any of it for? Was it for good? Did I enjoy it? I don't know the answers to these questions. But, you needn't do so.

The wheels are heating up to a bend
Gasoline is leaking out like sin
It's been weld together with my dirty hands
Dressed and ready for the party to begin
I am ready to wait until it begins

I'm curving as I cannonball ahead
Oh I know I can't go on like that
So I'll go straight to bed
and then onto the next

I was young when I grew thorns
Got ripped up from the ground

And I have burned my body so thin

I am ready to wait until it begins
I am ready to wait until it begins
I am ready to wait until it begins
I am ready to wait until it begins

~Cannonball
Cassino, Kingprince

It almost scares me how gorgeous this song is. Like, how does a group of people decide to make something so dead-on?
