i wanna catch a love and make it stay...

i've recently discovered quite a lovely band.
voxtrot.
i love his voice.
i love the music.
and most importantly.. i love the lyrics.
some are simply so poetically put..

this song.
Long Haul.

i feel reflects my state of mind recently the best..

truly a beautiful song to listen to..

--x--

Somebody told me if you live this way
Then it's a long, long haul
I wanna catch a love and make it stay
Oh it's a long, long haul
When you know darkness you can love a day
Oh it's a long, long haul
I've never seen it, I just talk this way
Oh it's a long, long haul

And you lie to us both
We are words, nothing holds

I wanna catch a love and make it stay
Oh it's a long, long haul
I'll draw a little joy now of this
Place before I get too old
I'll flee these troubled horses from this
Place within my troubled soul
And there is nothing, so far

If we are salt and earth and sun and stone
Then it's a long, long fall
To fixing trouble in a broken home
And if you won't, you won't call
When you can walk beside me past my past
Oh it's a long, long haul
I wanna catch a love and make it last
Oh it's a long, long haul

And you lie to us both
We are words nothing holds

I wanna catch a love and make it stay
Oh it's a long, long haul
I'll draw a little joy out of this
Place before I get too old
I'll flee these troubled horses from this
Place within my troubled soul
And there is nothing, so far

And nothing,
so far

I wanna catch a love and make it stay
I wanna catch a love and make it stay
I wanna catch a love and make it stay
I wanna catch a love and make it stay

--x--

I wanna catch a love and make it stay...

VOXTROT!!
I'm sorry but The Start of Something is still the best in my books.

haha.
the start of something is really lovely
but much too optimistic and romantic and the opposite of my mental state right now
i wish i was that hopeful. T___T

If you read the lyrics, it's quite sad really.
The guy's hopeless romantic.
