about

originally released November 10, 2009 on The Salted Caramel Sinner

lyrics

some things never seem to go right when they’re done
for the very first time
but if you work hard and try to get better
to the very top you can climb

from magazines you’ll learn all the ways certain things ought to be done
but when the moment finally arrives a fear is there you can’t outrun
:
all the years you’ve waited so patient
for the one to make your heart go numb
and take you to the top of the mountain
here it comes here it comes here it comes

and this is what it’s like and this is how it feels
if this is what it’s like, is this how it should feel
oh darling let me know how you want it go
if this is what it’s like and this is how it feels

people always want to talk about
what they heard about what went wrong
how could they know, who would have told a secret that
only two were supposed to hold

pressure inside builds to exploding
it could burst out with just one touch
as revenge for a promise now broken
that you wanted kept so much

and this is what it’s like and this is how it feels
if this is what it’s like, is this how it should feel
oh darling let me know how you want it go
if this is what it’s like and this is how it feels

I’m listening and I hear an engine outside passing by
it moves so slowly and never stops at red lights

many times I’ve broke down and cried
when I realized how they all lied
and that love will never be true
and each time won’t feel brand new

and maybe some things sometimes go right
even on the very first try
but if they do they’ll never get better
time after time and night after night

and this is what it’s like and this is how it feels
if this is what it’s like, is this how it should feel
oh darling let me know how you want it go
if this is what it’s like and this is how it feels

don’t hurt me one more time...
