Passion Pit: "Smile Upon Me"

sorry for the passion pit overload this week,
but i felt this was more fitting today
than the other song i had initially chosen

...

Everything's always better
Whenever you're [underdressed]
And I wanted to tell you then
To try a bird's nest

And it's truth you know
Its always the issue
And when it starts getting blurry
Ones never better than two

There's a place in this world
Where people like me are found by people like you
So find a place as this forever divine

Oh yeah you're the best damn friend that I'll ever have
You'll always smile upon me when the seasons bad
You'll always make me feel best even when I'm blue
You'll always smile upon me and I'll smile upon you too

I don't know what are you now
Since everything has changed
If I did know one thing
Its me whose feeling strange

Yes everything is different
And I don't react well
The changes that come when
Your life's becoming hell

There's a place in this world
Where people like me are found by people like you
So find a place as this forever divine

Oh yeah you're the best damn friend that I'll ever have
You'll always smile upon me when the seasons bad
You'll always make me feel best even when I'm blue
You'll always smile upon me and I'll smile upon you too

...

this one is here for my very special someone
not a boy, imagine that, but one of my
real live best of the best friends.

because of a boy, i thought you were mad,
that you felt pushed aside, and i felt guilty,
and i decided to avoid it... until it built up
to an unbearable point (about 3 days?).
so, i made you a "let's get over this and be
best friends like always" cd. and this
was the only song on it.
i like to think we can both
remember how very special friends are
whenever we hear it, wherever
and whenever that may be.

Passion Pit: "Live to Tell the Tale"

this is the room where we always dreamed
of grass and splendid evenings
emitting frequencies, lost between the
leaves and things
and i held on brightly, crushing quietly
feeling mountains rising out of
make-believe seas, creating typhoons
of feelings not easily made without need

god bless that smile on your face
god bless the seeds in the ground
god bless my family's keen gaze,
oh, i know
that whatever happens to you,
whatever happens to me,
i hope that i'll fall asleep
knowing that you'll always be
the story with no ending

the whole slew blossomed beautifully,
and i was beside myself
so i gave into your love
as you rapture asleep, upended
and this is like i have always dreamed:
cobblestone and dusty feet
that's the way it should always be
head over heels and deftly
wonderful and healthy

god bless that smile on your face
god bless the seeds in the ground
god bless my family's keen gaze, oh,
i know that whatever happens to you,
whatever happens to me,
i hope that i'll fall asleep
knowing that you'll always be
the story with no ending

i never thought you were here
you've never left me, have you?
you've never left me at all - not once, and i'm sorry i'm such a bore
i'm sorry i am so hard
i swear to god, i'll be good
from now on, and

god bless that smile on your face
god bless the seeds in the ground
god bless my family's keen gaze, oh,
i know that whatever happens to you,
whatever happens to me,
i hope that i'll fall asleep
knowing that you'll always be
the story with no ending

...

i really heard this song for the
first time in my car, like with most songs, and i thought
out loud that this was exactly what i was asking for
when i asked you not to do anything to mess up
my crush on you. not to be a debbie downer,
but it didn't work... it seems to be ending.

but, if you've
(the collective you of potential readers)
found your neverending story,
throw this one on the mix cd.
