time can take its toll on the best of us
look at you, you're growing old so young
traffic lights blink at you in the evening
you tilt your head and turn it to the sun

sometimes the tv is like a lover
singing softly as you fall asleep
you wake up in the morning and it's still there
adding up the things you'll never be

alright, i can say what you want me to
alright, i can do all the things you do
alright, i'll make it all up for you
i'm still in love with you
i'm still in love with you

time can take its toll on the best of us
look at you, you're growing old so young
traffic lights blink at you in the evening
you tilt your head and turn it to the setting sun

you disembark the latest flight to paradise
you almost turn your ankle in the snow
you fall back into where you started
make up words to songs you use to know

alright, i can say what you want me to
alright, i can do all the things you do
alright, i'll make it all up for you
i'm still in love with you
i'm still in love with you

hard rock god, he never had a chance, you know
incurable romantics never do
he held a flame i wasn't born to carry
i'll leave the dying young stuff up to you

you get back on the latest flight to paradise
i found out from a note taped to the door
i think i saw your airplane in the sky tonight
through my window, lying on the kitchen floor

alright, i can say what you want me to
alright, i can do all the things you do
alright, i'll make it all up for you
i'm still in love with you
i'm still in love with you

alright, i can say what you want me to
alright, i can do all the things you do
alright, i'll make it all up for you
i'm still in love with you
i'm still in love with you

i want more...
give me more...
stars

so the argument went like this..

i'm obsessed with the above song. it's called "heart". tom put it on my pinback cd, as the last song on the first cd (even though it's not pinback!). he said he put it on because he thought i would like it. so i told bob to download it, since i'm obsessed. when i told him that the song was on one of the pinback cds, he insisted tom was sending me a message. i disagree. not that the thought hadn't crossed my mind. it did. but why would he do that to me, when he tells me it's killing him to see me so hurt? i'm inclined to believe that the song was put there simply because he thought i would like it. which i do.

i mean, of course i WANT it to be a message. i want it to mean that the october 6th hug will be big and meaningful. i want it to mean that he will ask me to stay, rather than me being "too tired" to drive home. i want it to mean, if i have to resort to being "too tired", he'll want to share his bed with me. but i also know him. and i know that he wants this to be more painless than painful. and i think that he would perceive spending the night in the same bad as painful for one (me) or both of us. i think he would see it as complicating our "step back" to being "just friends". and i'm really inclined to believe that what will happen will be he will tell me to take his bed, while he takes the couch. but can he resist cuddles? and what about when we talked about the day of the pinback show, how he said i could come early, and we could eat and hang out before heading to asbury park.. and how he said we'd see pinback, and then trailed off? i want to think he wanted to say that i could spend the night. but who knows?

bob says the random texts mean he's thinking of me.

we now have a bet. a $500 bet. in order for bob to win this bet, tom and i have to be together before year's end. in order for me to win, we won't be together. i feel confident that i will win this bet. i want to lose SO BAD, but i know i'll win. and i'll be $500 richer. but i'll still be in love with someone who needs to meet some wrong girls before he'll realize that i'm the one for him. we agreed that if it happens over the holidays, the bet is a wash.

i cried a little before, when i realized how much this all still means to me. a week of being numb, and i'm crying again. i had not cried since last friday. i've moped, sure. but i've been tearfree. but here i was, crying. longing. missing. dying. 21 more days.

i'm dying for you.

i'm crying for you.

i just want to feel the cool of yr skin, breathe in yr smell..

..i'm still in love with you.. i'm still in love with you..
