Shameless - Say Anything

Remember when you heard it, you didn’t think about it

You opened up your ears and listened

Felt it smashing through the pretense, through scabs of inhibition

That the world stitched to your shoulder like a mission

It echoed like lips meeting and it fluctuated violently

Filled your heart and lungs up with redemption

Kind of like an ending but more like a beginning

And even though you’re losing then you’re winning

If you say oh

Remember this forever

All that matters is a song

Singing «I will be with you

Everywhere you go

Every little thing you do

Our love is here to stay

Even when the skies are gray

Even when I’m away

I’ll be with you.»

Now you’re so much older, so mature and insecure

You’ve grown out of yourself and into something else

Oh you crazy rebel tell me is this what you want to be

Would it kill you to be shameless?

If you say oh

Just scream this in defiance from the bottom of your lungs

What ever happened to the rock in roll in your eyes?

Oh I know its somewhere in you underneath the veil of lies

Oh why do you hide them, your rock and roll eyes?

They’re crazy

Eardrums are like elephants, they don’t forget the things they hear

And veins still carry fragments of the things fed to your ear

Let me do the honors and welcome you back to mankind

Just turn on the stereo and unwind

It goes «I will always love you.»

And as for taking it in stride:
