Something’s coming, but nothing ever does

Lollapalooza Edition
Artist- The Paines of Being pure at heart
Song of the day- Say No to Love

The over dramatic feeling of adolescents oozes out of today's band which should be obvious even with just the band's name. And I embrace it 100%. They write musical teen anthems like today's song about being stuck in a situation you don't want but don't know anything else to do when you're still stuck in your small town and can't picture a world bigger than that but have a hope inside you of something more. It most likely plays in all of our coming of age stories. So for looking back or looking forward, let's get a little over dramatic about it.



Yeah I’m looking for you

and I know you’ll be found

with the parking lot kids,

with the loneliest crowd

And his heart’s on his sleeve



and your hand’s on the wheel

trying hard not to say

what you just don’t feel -

yeah you just don’t feel



Now you’re looking away

could you plan an escape

from the places you’ve known,

where they know your mistakes?



And you wish he would stop

and you wish you weren’t steel

should you try to do something

that you just don’t feel?



Something’s coming,

but nothing ever does

Something’s coming

you better say no to love



When everything he says is wrong

and all you want to feel is “gone”

go on



When everything he does is wrong

and all you want to feel is “gone”

go on
