City and Colour, in case you didn't know, is Dallas Green's side project. He is a member of the Candian Alt/Screamo band Alexisonfire. I like their work, but I just love lyrics (as you can probably tell). Most (okay, almost all) of their songs are just too hard to really get the lyrics without looking them up. I love lyrics as they display a message that can reach so many people sub-conciously. Anyway, here is one of my new favourite songs...
"Save Your Scissors"
City and Colour
"Sometimes" (2005)
So go on
And I will refrain
And I'll keep on running this neverending race
maybe next time will be the right time
and maybe next time will be your time
So save your scissors
For someone else's skin
My surface is so tough
I don't think the blade will dig in
Save your strength
Save your wasted time
There's no way that I want you to be left behind
Go on save your scissors
Save your scissors
So why does it always seem
That every time I turn around
Sombody falls in love with me
This has never been my soul intention
And I have never claimed to have patents on such inventions
Just save your scissors
For someone else's skin
My surface is so tough
I don't think the blade will dig in
Save your strength
Save your wasted time
There's no way that I want you to be left behind
Go on save your scissors
Save your scissors
There is something that I must confess to you tonight
To you tonight
And that is I expect nothing less from you tonight
From you tonight
Go on save your scissors
Save your scissors
Save your scissors
Love and Peace
Hannah
