From Alex, To Jamie, With Love

Heavy night, it was a heavy night
Feels like we come back from the dead
Heavy night, it was a heavy night
I cannot remember what I said to anyone

If we get up now we can catch the afternoon
Watch the under 15s playing football in the park
Let’s sit in St. Leonard’s in this alcoholic day

we’re doing the best with what we’ve got

I love you in the morning,
When you’re still hung-over
I love you in the morning,
When you’re still strung out,
I love you in the morning

I work hard all week, and so do you
We deserve to let off some steam
Less orthodox creeping when we need to rage through this life
There might be ones who are smarter than you
That have the right answers
That wear better shoes
Forget about those melting ice caps…

we’re doing the best with what we’ve got.

I love you in the morning,
When you’re still hung-over
I love you in the morning,
When you’re still strung out,
I love you in the morning.

With you I am calm
A pearl in your oyster
Head on my chest and a silent smile,

a private kind of happiness
You see giant proclamations are all very well
But our love is louder than words.

-Sunday, Bloc Party

let's live for today

August 23rd, 2011

From Alex, To Jamie, With Love

When I think of all the worries people seem to find
And how they’re in a hurry to complicate their mind
By chasing after money and dreams that can’t come true
I’m glad that we are different, we’ve better things to do
May others plan their future, I’m busy lovin’ you

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
And don’t worry ’bout tomorrow, hey, hey, hey
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
Live for today

We were never meant to worry the way that people do
And I don’t need to hurry as long as I’m with you
We’ll take it nice and easy and use my simple plan
You’ll be my lovin’ woman, I’ll be your lovin’ man
We’ll take the most from living, have pleasure while we can

Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
And don’t worry ’bout tomorrow, hey, hey, hey
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, live for today
Live for today

Concerning the UFO sighting near Highland, Illinois

August 8th, 2011

From Alex, To Jamie, With Love

When the revenant came down
We couldn’t imagine what it was
In the spirit of three stars
The alien thing that took its form
Then to Lebanon
Oh, God
The flashing at night, the sirens grow and grow
Oh, history involved itself
Mysterious shade that took its form
Or what it was, incarnation
Three stars
Delivering signs and dusting from their eyes

-Sufjan Stevens

Dream

August 3rd, 2011

From Alex, To Jamie, With Love

You’re living out there, surrounded by blue
Lush green eyes, sand on your shoes
You’re home and I dream of you
Remember those times?
You could make a fantasy appear in real life
Every time I leave you know I have to think twice
And dream of you
And it’s true, there’s nowhere quite like you
It’s about time that you knew
You’re home and I…

Dream of you I dream
Dream of you I dream
Dream of you I dream
You’re home and I…

When I’m lost out there, you’re easy to find
I close my eyes, you’re in my mind
You’re home and I dream of you
December sunshine, the only memories are ones that make me feel fine
Just know we’ll be together when I see you in my dream of you

And it’s true, there’s nowhere quite like you
It’s about time that you knew
You’re home and I…

Dream of you I dream
Dream of you I dream
Dream of you I dream
You’re home and I…

That secret that you know
But don’t know how to tell
It fucks with your honor
And it teases your head
But you know that its good girl…
Cause its running you with red

Then the snow started falling
We were stuck out in your car
You were rubbing both of my hands
Chewing on a candy bar

You said “aint this just like the present
To be showing up like this”
As a moon waned to crescent
We started to kiss

And I said I know it well

That secret that we know
We don’t know how to tell
I’m in love with your honor
I’m in love with your cheeks
What’s that noise up the stairs babe?
Is that Christmas morning creaks?

And I know it well…

stuck in the middle

Well I don’t know why I came here tonight
I’ve got the feeling that something ain’t right
I’m so scared in case I fall off my chair,
and I’m wondering how I’ll get down the stairs.

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you.

Yes I’m stuck in the middle with you,
and I’m wondering what it is I should do.
It’s so hard to keep this smile from my face
Losing control…yeah I’m all over the place.

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you.

Well you started off with nothing
and you’re proud that you’re a self-made man
yeah, and your friends they all come crawling,
slap you on the back and say
Please . . .
Please . . .

Trying to make some sense of it all
but I can see that it makes no sense at all.
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
I don’t think that I can take anymore.

Clowns to the left of me
Jokers to the right
Here I am stuck in the middle with you.

Stuck in the middle
Stuck in the middle

Devour

June 2nd, 2011

From Alex, To Jamie, With Love

I’ll swallow up all of you
Like a big bottle of big, big pills
You’re the one that I should never take
But I can’t sleep until I devour you
I can’t sleep until I devour you
You’re a flower that’s withering
I can’t feel your thorns in my head

This is no impressionability
And I’ll love you, if you let me
And I’ll love you, if you won’t make me starve

I used to hold your heart to neck
I know I’ll miss you if I close my eyes
But this is loaded with an open film

-Devour, Marilyn Manson

Step to my door I leave it inside
windows hang bare gone with it all night
By chance we meet I couldn’t miss
oh but it takes alot
reminders just free care to the living
all of one and I yeah

so many miles to go , ah don’t remind me
I trip only what I see, what do you mean
It’s all I been to keep on I divide onto
A seemingly I’m out A Line hesitation
but I don’t mind it’s all I do

stray over these alone a but a longtime
to further require we don’t, ah but it’s all mine
the stairs we climb the thanks we need
still only some times
and wait until all enemy it’s small change
all of one and I

In search of and honest, try to carry home
I still miss the cross eyed poems, so unknown
it’s all I been to keep on I divide onto
a seemingly It ‘s out a line hesitation
but I don’t mind it’s all I do

you are the woman

April 21st, 2011

From Alex, To Jamie, With Love

You are the woman that I’ve always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that’s the last I’ve seen of my heart

It’s not so much the things you say to me
It’s not the things you do
It’s how I feel each time you’re close to me
That keeps me close to you

You are the woman that I’ve always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that’s the last I’ve seen of my heart

It’s not so much your pretty face I see
It’s not the clothes you wear
It’s more that special way you look at me
That always keeps me there

You are the woman that I’ve always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that’s the last I’ve seen of my heart

It’s hard to tell you all the love I’m feelin’
That’s just not my style
You got a way of sending my senses reelin’
Every time you smile

You are the woman that I’ve always dreamed of
I knew it from the start
I saw your face and that’s the last I’ve seen of my heart
