But boys will be boys and girls have those eyes
That will cut you to ribbons sometimes
And all you can do is just wait by the moon
And bleed if it’s what she says you ought to do

Well, I wonder which song they’re gonna play when we go.
I hope it’s something quiet and minor and peaceful and slow.

I get chills every time I hear this song. I don’t know what it is, the lyrics, the music, the message, the memories. Something just gets to me.

Hello there! My name is Sydney; I live in a small rural town in southern Manitoba, Canada. The Gaslight Anthem is my favourite band so I’ve decided to use the first of my songjournal posts to show my appreciation.
The last couple years have been turbulent for me to say the least, but I’ve also been blessed in the way that I’ve discovered new bands and artists that have gotten me through everything imaginable. I have big dreams and music is the one thing that keeps me sane enough to wake up in the morning and work towards them.
This song means a lot to me, as it has since I first heard it. I feel like I’m always waiting for something to happen. Always safe, never making the party. I don’t mind so much, but when a song comes along and seems to know your own head better than you do… spooky.
Anyway, I hope I can provide something worth reading and even mildly interesting for the next thirty-one days. If not, I hope you enjoy my song choices and have yourself a wonderful month.:)
Sydney.

I’m all washed out by the side of the road.
Broken-bones-Matilda left a note and a rose sayin’
“Baby, honey, child, I loved you so long but you deserve so much better than me.”

Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life

And I miss her sometimes
Shaking like a leaf on the corner of Vine
But I heard it’s all right
The radio spoke to a good friend of mine
And I could feel it coming up as the nights getting warm
Saw your summer dress hanging on the back of the lawn
Like a dream I remember from an easier time
With the top rolled down on a Saturday night

But nobody never gonna tell you the way.
You gotta figure it out boys.
And suffer the rain, and the fools in the night, and the heat of the day.
When all you ever really wanted was for someone to understand.
