Oh my heart is racing, my voice is shaking with the thought of you.


So this friend of mine made a blog post about Brightwood. He runs Sleeping With Headphones. Similar to my blog and all. We might even merge sites sometime in the future. Anyways, back to this band. I'm watching It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Tonight was a very, cold night. That included me taking a long walk home from my local carnival. High 50's tonight. It's just awesome to walk and have headphones on.

I decided to listen to the new Brightwood record, Wake. I would like to say think.. Copeland with a mix of Lydia/a deeper less poppy Sherwood. The mix of everything this band has going is awesome. Really, check out this song entitled "Dreamer To Dream." It's up there for my songs of the year list.

Lyrics to "Dreamer To Dream"

I've never been one for chase,
but for you I caved.
Memories that paint your face in shades of red and laughter.
I've been called a dreamer, desperate for sleep.
You have been that dream.
The kind I shut my eyes to keep.
I'm in love again, in the worst kind of way.
Oh my heart is racing,
my voice is shaking at the thought of you.
I didn't ask for this, I did not want it.
What do you suggest between head and heart when feeling is the strongest.
I've been called a dreamer, desperate for sleep.
You have been that dream,
the kind that takes me in too deep.
And I'm in love again, in the worst kind of way. Oh my heart is racing, my voice is shaking with the thought of you.
You've always been the one.
I've never had the nerve to say it.
You're all I dream.
The moment I'm feeling courageous,
you always leave me tongue tied.
And now it's too late because you're far gone.
Wish I could say I tried.
And I'm in love again, in the worst kind of way.
Oh my heart is racing, my voice is shaking at the thought of you.
