How Things Have Changed

Don't you occasionally wish the Earth and/or the universe would stop turning for just a few hours so you could spend this time thinking about everything and anything that needs to be thought out, and spend this time sorting out and solving all your problems?
Don't you sometimes wish for once, that the world would freeze in their tracks for just this tiny moment so that you can figure out where you are and what your next move would and should be?
Do you secretly wish, sometimes, that the world was void of language, of emotion, of all thought, of all desires?

If you do, well, join the club, you're not alone.

This song just about spells out everything right now. Missed Something Corporate and their genius lyrics, neglected them for a while.

Climbing out of the sky a man who could fly and a painting anyone could play.
It's a comic book crush that taught you to trust.
Staring out of the stands at a rock and roll band, and a hero no one else could save
It was never much but it's all that you gave.

Climbing out of his chair to fix the T.V. glare is a man, but no one knows he's there.
It's a Dramamine dream that kept them alive but lost.
She's got her plastic friends and a brand new Benz and she laughs,
"Hell, sometimes life ain't fair"
It's a comic book crush that got them nowhere.

And I wonder if you wonder, or did your stars finally explode?
Did the thunder pull you underneath the haze?
I'm amazed, then I let go.

Little minds let little pain burn big old dreams with little flames,
and you don't think I understand.
Little holes in parachutes won't leave you falling,
if they do, it's because you want to land.

These elevator doors are closing again
You leave before I planned.
I taste you walking down the hall.
You left your perfume on the nightstand.
