Curtain Close

from Still Believing by Hold My Own

/

about

Written about the time with and without a first love and the emotions of the before and after experience.

lyrics

Sit and watch the spiders in the moon reflecting ocean,
and stay awake for hours just to talk about emotions,
all night through,
and fall asleep to dream of you...

playing in the back-seat asking will we be there soon?
while my mum was driving badly singing Green Day oh so poorly out of tune,
we'd kiss each other out of view,
and do whatever we wanted to,
and do whatever we wanted to...

and so, the story goes,
It's just another curtain close
a happy ending forever sending love,
through the radio,
but hold on tight,
it's just another bumpy ride,
forever afters are disasters in this ordinary life,

the arguments devour all the feelings that we had,
spending hour after hour crying head placed in my hands,
tears all night through,
each one that flows it falls for you,

grab another bottle or whatever hits me first,
I don't care about the flavour just as long as it stops the hurt,
because I'll lose...
cracks in the pavement suck me through,
you know I'm nothing without you,
so take me under I beg you, oh...

and so, the story goes,
It's just another curtain close
a happy ending forever sending love,
through the radio,
but hold on tight,
it's just another bumpy ride,
forever afters are disasters in this ordinary life,


we could stay and watch the stars at night,
and hold you say it'll be all right,
until the cold and hardest bite,
pulls you into darker times,
and maybe next time get it right,
never have these little fights,
laying out in sky star light,
I'll hold you till the sun will rise,

I wouldn't hold you closer now, or look at you that way,
it seems things are moving faster now, every single day,
it would take an awful long time just to find the words to say, to you,
and every time I took a breath I'd hold it till my face turned blue,
I'll fall in love again I hope, and this time be aware,
that the love I give out, isn't always a love so easily shared,
an awkward glance across the street, would pass by in a moment,
the thought of you however would never seem to leave the ocean I'm floating in,

and so, the story goes,
It's just another curtain close
a happy ending forever sending love,
through the radio,
but hold on tight,
it's just another bumpy ride,
forever afters are disasters in this ordinary life,
