i realised it's nice to share the same music interests with someone. the last time i had one it was a few years back. back then we would send each other music and get so excited about songs and lyrics. and the music we listened to just made the experience all the more gratifying. sometimes it was just her, i and music.

somehow that just faded, just like how songs speak of parting lovers and forgotten memories.

i still haven't finished my ee. oh and guess what, acs in the headlines! the seniors did so well, i mean more than half got 40+, wth? maybe the actual ib exams are easier than the ones set by acs. ha and i got a 7 for chinese. anyway, now that the standards are set, i think i want 40+ too. can you imagine getting a 45, every university in the world will want you. good food for thought. ok back to ee.

i'd be hanging on their words
like they almost meant a thing
in the only lullaby i heard,
their sirens blaring, singing me to sleep
holding my loved one tight..

on the softness of her laugh,
i could almost make my bed
but the racket of her absence joined
the sirens blaring ringing in my head
holding nothing tight,
holding nothing tight
with my eyes so wide

she'd be hanging on my words
like i almost meant a thing
and i'd give anything not to let her down
to finally sleep through just one noisy night
holding her so tight, holding her so tight
but my eyes are wide

in a house without a back door
i was looking for a fire escape
and i'll be ripping up the floorboards
just trying to get away
from this sleeplessness
sleeplessness, sleeplessness

cos my mind just can't stop moving
and i think i know why
oh, i know why
it's sad

but i'm a sucker for a kind word
and i'll just hurt until i find one
and i'll just hurt until i find one

and i've been trying all the windows
and i've been running up the staircase
in a house without a backdoor

sleeplessness, sleeplessness, sleeplessness
in a house without a backdoor
i was looking for a fire escape
and i'd be ripping up the floorboards
just trying to get away..
