I love the way the galaxy starts to melt when we become one...

I would fall in love every time a song by The Spill Canvas comes on my playlist. Their songs will always take me back to the years where all I would listen to was Indie bands, such as, Bright Eyes, Dashboard, and Death Cab. I love that nostalgia feeling their music would bring. It reminds me of my youth, yes I am very well aware that I am only 20 and still is in my "youth", but I'm talking about my early high school youth. The youth where I was madly infatuated with a boy who was completely oblivious to my feelings, or let alone any other girls' feelings (okay, this obviously doesn't sound like a happy memory, but at the time, I was blinded by this happiness). The youth where I could actually frolic in a field and not cared about what anyone thinks (I mean, I can still do this, but it was a lot more fun at 14). The youth where my two best friends and I would lay on the track and field's pole vaulting mat after school while listening to our colorful iPod nano play awesome tunes (each of us actually had a different color, I had the pink, they had green and blue). That youth. It's sad, but I never actually pay attention to song's lyrics. But something about The Spill Canvas... something about their music makes me want to slow down and listen to the lyrics. Their music is filled with lyrics that were beautifully created for the human soul, so creatively written. If I could marry it, I would.

Here's the song that sparked all of this emotion for me today.


How does it feel to know you're everything I need 
The butterflies in my stomach 
They could bring me to my knees 
How does it feel to know you're everything I want 
I've got a hard time saying this 
So I'll sing it in a song 

Oh I adore the way you carry yourself 
With the grace of a thousand angels overhead 
I love the way the galaxy starts to melt 
When we become one 
When we become one 
When we become one 
When we become one 

How does it feel 
How does it feel when we get locked into a stare? 
Please don't come looking for me 
When I get lost in the mess of your hair 
How do you feel when everything you've known 
Gets thrown aside 
Never fear, my dear, 'cause we have nothing left to hide 

Oh I adore the way you carry yourself 
With the grace of a thousand angels overhead 
I love the way the galaxy starts to melt 

Hold on to me girl 
If you feel your grip getting loose 
Just know that I'm right next to you 
Hold on to me girl 
If you feel your grip getting loose 
Just know that I won't let you down 

Well, I'm ready 
Well, I'm ready 
I am ready 
To run away with you 
Are you ready? 
Are you ready? 
Are you ready? 
To run away with me 

Pack your things we can leave today 
Pack your things we can leave today 
Say our goodbyes and get on the train 
Say goodbye 
Just you and I in the sweet unknown 
We can just call each other our home 

If I had to choose a way to die 
It'd be with you 
In a goose bump infested embrace 
With my overanxious hands cupping your face 
In a goosebump infested embrace 
With my overanxious hands cupping your cherub face 

How does it feel?


Love
