"Tell Me Something Sweet To Get Me By"

I can't remember if I've posted this song before, but it's been a big influence for a while now. The meaning has changed for me substantially, and I like that it can do that: affect me in two different ways in two different stages of my life. It begins quite sad, even though the lyrics are contrastingly loving, but the end makes me feel happier, even though the lyrics are poignantly unsettled. The music has a lot to do with this.

Why. Oh, why.

If It Means A Lot To You - A Day To Remember

And hey darling, I hope you're good tonight,

And I know you don't feel right when I'm leaving.

Yeah, I want it but no, I don't need it,

Tell me something sweet to get me by,

'Cause I can't come back back home 'til they're singing;

La, la la la, la la la,

'Til everyone is singing.

If you can wait 'til I get home,

(I get home)

Then I swear to you, that we can make this last.

(La la la)

If you can wait 'til I get home,

(I get home)

Then I swear, come tomorrow this will all be in our past,

Well it might be for the best.

And hey sweet-ay, well I need you here tonight,

And I know that you don't wanna be leaving,

Yeah you want it, but I can't help it,

I just feel complete when you're by my side.

But I know you can't come home 'til they're singing;

La, la la la, la la la,

'Til everyone is singing.

La, la la la, la la la.

If you can wait 'til I get home,

(I get home)

Then I swear to you, that we can make this last.

(La la la)

If you can wait 'til I get home,

(I get home)

Then I swear, come tomorrow this will all be in our past,

Well it might be for the best.

You know you can't give me what I need,

And even though you mean so much to me,

I can't wait through everything.

Is this really happening?

I swear I'll never be happy again,

And don't you dare say we can just be friends.

I'm not some boy that you can sway,

We knew it'd happen eventually.

La, la la la, la la la,

Now everybody's singing.

La, la la la, la la la,

Now everybody's singing.

La, la la la, la la la,

If you can wait 'til I get home,

Then I swear we can make this last.

If you can wait 'til I get home,

Then I swear we could make this last.

Starts with sorrow,

Ends with tomorrow.
