    These are the lyrics to one of my girlfriend and I's song, I absolutely love everything she comes up with and this was one of our older ones that I still love to play.

    Wake Up, Stare At The Bright Lights.
    Watch The Reds, Dance Across The Room.
    This Wasn't Exactly What You Wanted
    At The Time, A Crash Sounded Nice...

    Don't, Don't Think Twice, Or Pretend
    You Cared For Half A Second
    You Can Say What You Want
    But Only I'll Know The Truth

    Wake Up, Remember When You Made A Promise
    Why Break So Soon?
    This Isn't Exactly The Usual
    But You Don't Like
    "Usual" Anyways...

    Don't, Don't Think Twice, Or Pretend
    You Cared For Half A Second
    You Can Say What You Want
    But Only I'll Know The Truth

    I don't think reading does it justice, really. Do you have a link for us to listen to the actual song? I think I'd probably appreciate the piece a lot more in that context.

    Alright I was right, definitely liked it a lot better in that context. That and I caught a few things I never noticed before when just reading it.

    Very simple but effective.

    See, I know it is a very simple body of writing but I love how she makes it all flow.

    So here's a story I'd like to hear:

    You call the piece Wake Up, yet the song is titled Grilled Cheese.

    What is the reasoning behind this? :lol:
