Anyone Remember Gaia?

Yesterday, I re-discovered music. I can't believe it had been so long since I had listened to TBS, my Warped Tour CD (especially The Kung Fu Girls), and Hellogoodbye. I have to say though, as much as I like their music, I love TBS's lyrics more by ten-fold. There's something about seeing them written down, exposed almost, that makes me crave to read them. I have a fairly new musical obsession. They're called The Summer Set, and it's the first CD I've ever had that I like ALL of the songs on. That's pretty amazing for me.
Their song (featuring Dia Frampton),
Where Are You Now:

I've been staying awake in the front seat for days
Let the wheel turn and take me away
Oh, the truth I must tell
Is I'm lonely as hell
Still looking for myself

It rains all day when you're not around
And I'm trying my best to come clean with the clouds
They follow me around
I'll dance 'till the rain comes down

Stuck in the sand with the waves at my feet
And I wish you'd come crash into me
'Cause where you are is where I wanna be now
Where are you now?

And I know I'm not perfect but what the hell
Do you think of me now?
Do you think of me now?

They say that love is for the patient
Gotta plan for being restless for now

Hope I'm more than a cheap trick you played on yourself
But I do it so well
Yeah, I'm doing so well

They follow me around
I'll dance 'till the rain comes down

Stuck in the sand with the waves at my feet
And I wish you'd come crash into me
'Cause where you are is where I wanna be now
Where are you now?

But when I leave
She walks and she talks and she stirs my feet
Like she's sleeping next to me

It doesn't matter where we are
It doesn't matter where we are
It doesn't matter if we're states apart
She loves me


It's like a progression of jealousy.
First, I was jealous of your strength, and how my lack of it kept us from being together.
Then, I was jealous that you had a bond with someone that I had a whole other kind of bond with.
Then, I was jealous that you had my best friend, though it was only fair since technically I took away yours.
We're doing quite the dance.
You wouldn't want me. I have terrible mood swings once a month.
You wouldn't want him. He snores and grinds his teeth. :P
You do however, have her,and for all it's worth, I'm glad that she can be your constant.

I do the same thing.

P.S.- Do you highlight things as much as I do? ;)

I want to go to the beach. I feel like it would be peaceful right now.
