BRIGHTEN
"We Are Birds"

We're so dark by night, I am lost
Directions getting faded
Remember what you're taught
She's so bright, I'll use her as light
She's so much more than decoration

She can fly, and she's no angel in the sky
She's a witch but she knows better than to take me when she flys
and I miss how she looks me in the eyes
Oh this sounds like desperation

If you're a bird then I'm a bird
But if you cant fly then neither will I
Cause then love is not the right time, to die (to die, to die)

Her wings are spread,
She's stuck here on the ground
She's not heavy, she's my world
I'll carry her around
I hear her breathing, that's my favorite sound

If you're a bird then I'm a bird
But if you cant fly then neither will I (will I)
Cause then love is not the right time to die
We still have our whole life to be with you and Im done (to be with you and I'm done)
And make this life a good one

If you're a bird then I'm a bird
But if you cant fly then neither will I (will I)
Cause then love is not the right time to die
But if you cant fly then neither will I

Brighten

I always see journals of what people have seen live which I never quite understand, just post them in past events but anyway I'd like to see more wishlists, so here's mine :)

I have a lot of artists in my library, so I gave each artist three seconds and if I couldn't decide if i'd actually go see them if a tour was announced I didn't include them.

If you were to announce a tour RIGHT NOW, I would buy a ticket:
Paramore
blink-182 They will announce some Aussie dates soon to add to their World Tour, yesyesyes. First time seeing them.
Yellowcard
Jack's Mannequin
Say Anything
Motion City Soundtrack
Tegan and Sara Probably the most established live act I've seen, go see them even if you're only into a couple of songs.
The Ataris
Brand New I listen to this band a lot more than I realise.
