Why is it utterly impossible to find a song via google about someone else like you more than you like him?
I used to think it the easiest thing in the world to find music and art specific to feelings. All one had to do is generalize the feeling to a foundational emotion: happiness, nostalgia, melancholy, death, breaking up, falling in love. Thus you'd find a song to accommodate the unspecified emotion. And that would be it.
But for such specific feelings you can't shake, that you can't turn into just any song. Then what? Write your own, emo kid. Write your own.
You know what else there's a lack of? There's a lack of songs about what happens before falling in love.
I believe there are too many love songs; not enough flirting songs. There aren't enough songs that imply falling in love while dancing around the word and the idea.
That's where I want to exist. Where it's safe. Forever flirting.
Forever noncommittal and cozy and warm and falling--no, not even falling. I want to be right on the edge, that place when you're deciding whether or not to push yourself over the edge and make your grand fall.
I believe this is referred to as "the chase".
"The trick is that you're never supposed to act on it No matter how unbearable this misery gets."
