Careful when you open, it’s easy to be broken
In the strangest fashion you start a chain reaction
When you look my way, something’s pounding away
And I wonder if I ever felt this before
And all this time oblivious to what you made so obvious
I can’t believe I never noticed my heart beforeYou are reaching something that is beating
I can’t believe I never noticed my heart before
Over and again, racing out of my skin
I can’t believe I never noticed my heart beforeYou and your ways capture what I’ve misplaced
In the perfect fashion; just watch my heart’s reaction
This point of view is nothing that I’m used to
But I won’t close my eyes, ’cause they’re onto you
And all this time it was staring me blind
I can’t believe I never noticed my heart beforeThe only time I ever noticed my heart
Is when I noticed you, yeahYou are reaching something that is beating
I can’t believe I never noticed my heart before
Over and again, racing out of my skin
I can’t believe I never noticed my heart before -
Can you light my love?
Flames glowing bright as the sun
Deeper than oceans you run
Watch as our world has begunYour mind is a stream of colors
Extending beyond our sky
A land of infinite wonders
A billion lightyears from here nowWoah, light my love
Woah, light my loveI have seen pictures of time
The frames still in motion I find
A grand revolution outlined
Hate bound by fear will unwindYour mind is a stream of colors
Extending beyond our sky
A land of infinite wonders
A billion lightyears from here nowWoah, light my love
Woah, light my love
Woah, light my love
Woah, light my loveWoah, Ohh
Woah, light my love
Woah, light my love
Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah
Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah
Woah, Woah -
Stand under the stained glass and I will know it’s you
The whites of your eyes burn from across the roomAnd I’m not here to be the saviour you long for
Only the one you don’t
Are you watching me with eyes of a predator
As you move towards the door?Show me those pretty white jaws
Show me where the delicate stops
Show me what you’ve lost
And why you’re always taking it slow
Show me what wounds you’ve got
Show me love
Show me those pretty white jaws
Show me where the delicate stops
Show me what you’ve lost
And why you’re always taking it slow
Show me what wounds you’ve got
Show me love, ohOh, and I, I believe
We are locked
Caged and always provoked
By prey left unattendedAnd I’m not here to be the saviour you long for
Only the one you don’t
Are you watching me with eyes of a predator
As you move towards the door?
Oh, oh, ohShow me those pretty white jaws
Show me where the delicate stops
Show me what you’ve lost
And why you’re always taking it slow
Show me what wounds you’ve got
Show me love
Show me those pretty white jaws
Show me where the delicate stops
Show me what you’ve lost
And why you’re always taking it slow
Show me what wounds you’ve got
Show me love
Show me those pretty white jaws
Show me where the delicate stops
Show me what you’ve lost
And why you’re always taking it slow
Show me what wounds you’ve got
Show me love, oh -
Radio waves
Been scanning through all night
Sifting through haze
Looking for an outbound satelliteThirty days of hope, longingly I stare
Waiting for reply, but nothing’s there
‘Bout to leave the room when frequency divides the airFeel my makeshift heartbeat
Violet high beams in your eye
Be my alien boyfriend
Racing through the night
Send me constellations
Worn out duffle packin’ light
Lost in deep translation
Meet me in the skyCan’t get enough
Of your morse code outline
Calling your bluff
Begging me to come outsideSmoke and engine dust revving in the wind
Level down the thrust as you decend
Opening the door, oh my mind is cripplingFeel my makeshift heartbeat
Violet high beams in your eye
Be my alien boyfriend
Racing through the night
Send me constellations
Worn out duffle packin’ light
Lost in deep translation
Meet me in the skyWeightless footsteps
Holding our breath
I’m struck anyhow
Star-crossed, now here
Spanning light years
Just us, fading outFeel my makeshift heartbeat
Violet high beams in your eye
Be my alien boyfriend
Racing through the night
(Through the night)
Send me constellations
Worn out duffle packin’ light
(Packing light)
Lost in deep translation
Meet me in the sky -
Dead on the shadow knows, the light exposed, the darkest holes
In confidence you hold for you and yours to keep alone
But I heard the story goes a little less like what you told
Well I’m no angel but I’m willing to watch over youIt’s a long way up
To fall all the way down
But when you’re ready
I’ll be waiting
To catch you
To catch you
To catch you
I’ll catch you
To catch youRide out the worst of it, it hurts a bit from what I’m told
You can’t get over it, or out from it, till you’re alone
But I’ll be shadowing and waiting till you make it through
I am no angel but I’m willing to watch over youIt’s a long way up
To fall all the way down
But when you’re ready
I’ll be waiting
To catch you
To catch you
To catch you
I’ll catch you
To catch youDead on the shadow knows, the light exposed, the darkest holes
In confidence you hold for you and yours to keep aloneIt’s a long way up
To fall all the way down
Yeah it’s a long way up
To fall all the way down
But when you’re ready
I’ll be waiting
To catch you
To catch you
To catch you
I’ll catch you
To catch you -
QUOTES FROM MY FAVORITE BOOKS (2023)
I’m the type of reader who never highlight passages or memorize quotes. I would go so far as to say, I never really care too much about them. But sometimes, there are words that capture a moment or emotion so perfectly even my forgetful brain couldn’t help but remember the lines and relive all the feels.
Here are unforgettable quotes from my favorite books.

Wake up and look me in the eyes again
I need to feel your hands upon my face
Words can be like knives
They can cut you open
And then the silence surrounds you
And haunts youI think I might’ve inhaled you
I can feel you behind my eyes
You’ve gotten into my bloodstream
I can feel you flowing in meWords can be like knives
They can cut you open
And then the silence surrounds you
And haunts youI think I might’ve inhaled you
I can feel you behind my eyes
You’ve gotten into my bloodstream
I can feel you flowing in meThe spaces in between
Two minds and all the places they have been
The spaces in between
I try to put my finger on it
I try to put my finger on itI think I might’ve inhaled you
I can feel you behind my eyes
You’ve gotten into my bloodstream
I can feel you flowing in meI think I might’ve inhaled you
I can feel you behind my eyes
You’ve gotten into my bloodstream
I can feel you flowing in meあれから僕ら幾星霜
始まりが遠くに霞む
国道の朝焼け
浅虫の黄昏
辛い事 泣いた事 笑った事
一つが二つあって 手を結んだら一つで
二人が分かち合って 一つずつの夢
悲しみのない世界で 眠って 眠って
明日の事とか それはまた別のお話
冷たい雪の粒が
思い出を積み上げる夜
君は優しく笑う
春を待つ想望
ストーブがしんと鳴る部屋の中
一つが二つあって 名を呼び合えば一つで
二人が分かち合って 一歩ずつの歩み
悲しみのない世界で 眠って 眠って
明日の事とか それはまた別のお話
辛い事も 泣いた事も 笑った事も
赤くなる
夕焼けがやってくる頃に
僕らは皆赤くなる
いい人も 悪い人も 怒った人も
赤くなる
夕焼けがやってくる頃に
等しく皆赤くなる
一つが二つあって 笑い合えたら一つで
二人が分かち合って たった一つの願い
悲しみのない世界で 眠って 眠って
明日の事とか それはまた別のお話
It’s been so much time for us since then
The beginning looms in the distance
Morning glow of the highway
Asamushi in the twilight
Painful things, crying, and laughing
Two of one, holding hands they become one
Two people sharing their dreams one by one
In a world without grief, sleep, sleep
Tomorrow, well that’s another story
Flakes of cold snow
The night that piles up old memories
You smile gently
Yearning, waiting for spring
The stove within that room of silence
Two of one, and they call out to each other as one
Two people sharing a walk, one step at a time
In a world without grief, sleep, sleep
Tomorrow, well that’s another story
The painful things, crying, and laughing
Turn red
And as sunset falls
We all become red
Good people, bad people, and angry people
Turn red
And as sunset falls
All equally become red
Two of one, and they smile together
Two people sharing just a single wish
In a world without grief, sleep, sleep
Tomorrow, well that’s another story

When the summer night unfolds, yeah, I wanna take a picture now
When the lights go down and our senses all take holdThought I was the same kind of guy
Strong and silent type
But you got me talking now, yeah, it’s in the way you look at me
I can see that you feel everything I feelAnd it’s no surprise
When you’re this close, every touch is amplified
I don’t know when we’ll be here again, so I memorize
Every inch of your body, show me every side
Of youYeah, I don’t know what tomorrow knows, where these feelings go
But I plan on being ’round, time is nothing when you look at me
Can’t you see this thing’s meant to go on way past right now?And it’s no surprise

Of youShow me every side, of you
Of you
Show me every side

Complications: my claim to fame
And I can’t believe there’s another
Constantly just another
Can’t avoid what I can’t control
And I’m losing ground, still I can’t stand down
I know, yeah, I know, yeahI know you stay true when my world is false
Everything around’s breaking down to chaos
I always see you when my sight is lost
Everything around’s breaking down to chaosIt’s hard to trust anyone again
After all the letdowns I’ve been through
Haunted by what I’ve been through
Best to try while I still can breathe
And I’m screaming out, “give me help somehow”
And I know, yeah, I know, yeahI know you stay true when my world is false
Everything around’s breaking down to chaos
I always see you when my sight is lost
Everything around’s breaking down to chaos -
I can’t believe that you would think
I’d never see that you deserve the best (deserve the best)
If you’re afraid, then I’m to blame
I should’ve never let it come to this (come to this)Sometimes we just have to walk through the fire (the fire)
Just to see once more what has never shined brighter (shined brighter)Don’t say enough, we’re not out of love
We just grew up having to find out that
Hearts go astray, sparks slip away
But I have to say, I still light up for you
For you, I still light up for youDon’t let the tears undo the years
That got us here we traveled all this way (all this way)
And no matter how we sort it out
Know I’m for sure that you’re the one for me (the one for me)Sometimes we just have to walk on the wire (the wire)
Just to understand we have never felt higher (felt higher)Don’t say enough, we’re not out of love
We just grew up having to find out that
Hearts go astray, sparks slip away
But I have to say, I still light up for you
For you, I still light up for youNobody said it would be easy
We thought we could prove them wrong
And we know it takes more than a feeling
To carry the two of us on
But I still believe in our love
Yeah I still believe in us
I still believe in us
I still light upDon’t say enough, we’re not out of love
We just grew up having to find out that
Hearts go astray, sparks slip away
But I have to say, I still light up for you
For you, I still light up for youHeavy footsteps in my boots
Will I be the one you choose
I keep chasing hope away
too proud to try and make a changeIf I had the chance
I’d take the words right back
& turn it all around
Never let you down
I don’t want us to break
into a beautiful mistakeAll the confidence I lacked
You gave back in just two weeks
I don’t wanna be your ghost anymore
always dragging up the pastWaiting for the moment
When we can make things right
Waiting for the moment
Forgiveness in your eyesEveryone has their obsession
Consuming thoughts, consuming time
They hold high their prized possession
That defines the meaning of their livesYou are mine
There are objects of affection
That can mesmerize the soul
There is always one addiction
That just can not be controlledYou are mine
Everyone has their obsession
Consuming thoughts, consuming time
They hold high their prized possession
They hold high their prized possessionYou are mine
Play another wedding song
A wedding song goes on and on
See the churches falling down
This is only in your mind
We’re useless
We’re useless
All their dresses stand so white
All the brides are all in white
Play another wedding song
A wedding song goes on and on
We’re useless
We’re useless
Walking on the paper ruins
Shoes and rice and one two three
Picking through the plastic ruins
Of my useless memory
Make a line of useless women
Make a line of useless men
Love me love me love me love
Again again again again
We’re useless
We’re useless
Completely
