[L'Ame Immortelle/"Forgive Me"]

Every sound sends a shiver down my spine
I think my phone is vibrating, when it is a sound from my brother's room
I think I can hear my computer pinging (in some cases it is) when it is just my music
Or sounds in the living room

I'm in love with you, and ordinary sounds sound frightening
They don't sound like what they should
Or they do, but I've come so accustomed to the sounds that most things sound like them now
And I never sleep, up waiting for you and my music there's really no need
I'm content, even if I do fall asleep, waking only for a text message or two

I'd give almost anything just for a bit of reality, just to hear your voice
I know what's going on, but the knowing doesn't keep me from wanting
Keep me steady, keep me sane

I go blank when I run out of things and don't know what to say
But, I can't sleep, I don't want to sleep and break the spells that linger

I skated two days ago, and for the time I had wheels beneath me, it was weird, I felt uneven
Skating up and down, and down and up
At the end I sit next to a friend, completely out of the loop
My mind thinking only about you and what happened before I let myself skate up and down and back in a skirt, my phone not very far from me
Wanting to stay in touch with you

I'd give almost anything just to call you again, but I can't
And you know I can't, it kills me

Every sound I hear sends a shiver down my spine
I think my phone is vibrating, when it's just noise from my brother's room
I think I hear my computer pinging (in some cases it is) when it is just my music
Or sounds in the living room

I'm content, awake or asleep, waiting for a text message or two


The others should be coming in a day or two.
