Flyleaf - So I Thought

Ironically, this is my favorite song from them--it's nice because you don't have to necessarily associate it with religion, well, at least not until the very end; basically, it's about a failed romance, realization, and finding salvation in Jesus.  Apart from the latter aspect which I can't relate to at all (though, sometimes I toy with the idea in my head), I really like the lyrics and the way she sings it in a mournful but upbeat manner, with a dash of hope.  Her voice reminds me a bit like Hayley Williams's from Paramore. 


All your twisted thoughts free flow
To everlasting memories show soul
Kiss the stars with me
And dread the wait for
Stupid calls returning us to life
We say to those who are in love
It can't be true 'cause we're too young
I know that's true because so long I was
So in love with you
So I thought

A year goes by
And I can't talk about it

On my knees
Dim lighted room
Thoughts free flow try to consume myself in this
I'm not faithless
Just paranoid of getting lost or that I might lose
Ignorance is bliss cherish it
Pretty neighborhoods you learn too much to hold
Believe it not
And fight the tears
With pretty smiles and lies about the times

A year goes by
And I can't talk about it
The times weren't right
So I couldn't talk about it

Chorus romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last, between
Chorus romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last, between

And I'm praying that we will see
Something there in between
Then and there that exceeds all we can dream
So we can talk about it

Chorus romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last between
Chorus romance says goodnight
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Remember you, remember me
Hurt the first, the last time

And I'm praying that we will see
Something there in between
Then and there that exceeds all we can dream

And all these twisted thoughts I see
Jesus there in between
And all these twisted thoughts I see
Jesus there in between
