All the boys voices cracking
Oh, the moaning half tones
Come summertime, we're all the same age here
All the tension and the terror
Thin-limbed gorgeous green eyes smiling
And I'm going straight to hell
All the possibility and promise just weighs on me so heavily
[CHORUS]
And I try but I'm not convincing
Your lips, they pout and twist
And I die trying just to keep myself from kissing you
You take in everything with a certainty I envy
It's somehow all I need
Just keep me guessing please
Darling, all of these awkward jumpstart-stalling conversations
Mean much more to me than anything
It comes down to me and you
And whether we're supposed to or not, we still will
We're so much better off than them
All the possibility and promise just weighs on me so heavily
[CHORUS]
A look
A laugh
A smile
A second passes by and I regret it
words just aren't right
Sometimes I just can't explain
All the ways you devastate me
Always on my mind
[CHORUS x2]
Full Version: Straylight Run - the Tension and the Terror
What sort of band are they? What caught my eye is their name, which sounds like it could be referencing something from Neuromancer.
If I'm not mistaken, they're like half of .. the band that did cute without the e.
emo?
emo?
No they aren't emo.
Straylight Run
Rock / Alternative / Experimental
Thats from their myspace, which seems about right.

They're like... rock that's usually a bit downtempo, and melodic (with a piano or at least a keyboard that sounds like one.) I don't know your music tastes well, but I could see you liking them. *shrug*

Really? Taking Back Sunday? Huh.
I love this song by the way.
They also have a song "existentialism on prom night." Existentialism is one of those wacky new age philosophies that take everything and put it into the perspective of "the hell with everything."
I did enough speech and debate at my school to make me think I know what I'm talking about. That makes me DANGEROUS!

I'm pretty sure he's mistaken.

Another change in their lineup occurred when singer/guitarist John Nolan and bassist Shaun Cooper left the band and formed what is now Straylight Run.
