We won't be afraid to be happy It's not so easy feeling everything We were so ready for the fall

Artist- The submarines
Song- Birds

So yesterday I dragged myself out of bed having little sleep, almost ran into a man profusely bleeding from his face at the train stop, train broke, had to move seats when a passenger kept "mistaking" my thigh for an hand rest, tried not to fall asleep during 8hrs of class, cooked a ham for 2.5 hours then watched it shrivel in my hands and shattered off part of my bike on a way to this concert. But I knew the power of the Submarines, and as they played this song, their positivity bled through my ears and I was re convinced that man, life is great, people can be quite adorable and music might just solve anyone's issues. Usually I find this kind of optimism in music annoying, and have never been able to write a song that at least wasn't a hint of depressing, but they are so genuine and thoughtful in their music you almost have to believe them, that even with all the crap of life, there's reasons life can be great and reasons to sing about it being great. And today as I celebrated Easter with some dear friends I knew that the submarines were right. There are far worse things than my annoying day people have to face, we all have our dark days, our dark stories. And though I might find that more artistic, there is so much beauty and need for celebration in life. There's a need to cherish it, cherish those moments, cherish those people, that's something to sing about.



Sometimes I ask how could it be
Someone like you would want someone like me
And I'm here waiting on your love
I've been lying awake at night
Listening to the birds singing in the dark
And I'm still waiting on your love

We could be holding on tighter
Had to learn to let go as we got higher

Oh no oh no don't go
I want to take you home tonight
Our love our love our love
Hey what if everything's all right

If the morning comes at all
I'll dress you up like you're my paper doll
And take you everywhere I go

We won't be afraid to be happy
It's not so easy feeling everything
We were so ready for the fall

If we could only surrender let it in
We'd never have to ask what we were missing

Oh no oh no don't go
I want to take you home tonight
Our love our love our love
Hey what if everything's all right

We could be holding on tighter
Had to learn to let go as we got higher
We could be holding on tighter

Oh no oh no don't go
I want to take you home tonight
Our love our love our love
Hey what if everything's all right
