LSS: Ready to Love Again

Hello again my dear blog! After a month of not typing anything here, I'm back with a vengeance. My friends got kinda drunk and decided to pay me a visit. At 3AM in the morning. So here I am, wide awake when I'm supposed to be asleep. So I decided to make another blog post.

I heard this song one day while I was taking a shower. Yeah, it just happened to play while my music was on shuffle. I've played this particular songs plenty of times before, but this was the first time that I actually listened to the lyrics. The chorus pulled me in. So I decided to play the song again.


Lately, I've been pretty happy with my life. Sure, I still cry at night, but not as much as before. A LOT has changed in the past month. And that also includes my love life. Yeah, you read that right. I dunno, but I feel a lot better about my heart nowadays. It feels like a huge burden has been lifted.

Before, my mind was still stuck on my ex. He was my first and only before. I know I still love him until now, but not like before. In the past, I kept going in circles, trying to find a way to get close to him again. Little did I know that what I was actually doing was going backwards. Because of what happened in the past, I was now scared of having another relationship, thinking that history might repeat itself. I wanted to move on, but was afraid of getting hurt again.

But now, it feels like I can get over that fear. My friends have been encouraging me, telling me that even though my ex hurt me, not all guys are like him. I couldn't find it in myself to accuse him, but I guess they do have a point. I should stop comparing and start anew.

Yeah, I know that I've made a promise to myself that I won't get into any commitments until after I've graduated. I'll keep that promise just because I know it's the best thing to do. But despite that, now I actually feel that I'm Ready to Love Again. :)

So here are the lyrics to the song, which pretty much sums up this entire post. Enjoy! :D

Ready To Love Again - Lady Antebellum Lyrics

Seems like I was walking in the wrong direction
I barely recognize my own reflection, no
Scared of love but scared of life alone

Seems I've been playing on the safe side baby
Building walls around my heart to save me, oh
But it's time for me to let it go

Yeah, I'm ready to feel now
No longer am I afraid of the fall down
It must be time to move on now
Without the fear of how it might end
I guess I'm ready to love again

Just when we think that love will never find you
You runaway but still it's right behind you, oh
It's just something that you can't control

Yeah, I'm ready to feel now
No longer am I afraid of the fall down
It must be time to move on now
Without the fear of how it might end
I guess I'm ready to love again

So come and find me
I'll be waiting up for you
I'll be holding out for you tonight

Yeah, I'm ready to feel now
No longer am I afraid of the fall down

It must be time to move on now
Without the fear of how it might end
I guess I'm ready, I'm ready to love again

Thinking

I haven't been able to blog in such a long time. My schedule's getting kinda hectic. Well I'm back and as nocturnal as ever, so here's another post! *fanfare*

Well earlier today, I was just browsing some videos on YouTube and I stumbled upon a new cover video by Alex Goot. He was covering the song "Good Time" by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen, which is a pretty catchy song by one of my favorite bands. Alex's performance was spectacular as always, giving a refreshing vibe to this upbeat song, but what caught my attention the most was the band playing along side him. So I clicked the link found on the video and found myself at the YouTube channel of a band from New York by the name of Against the Current.

I checked out what they had and saw that they haven't uploaded a lot, so I wasn't expecting much. But once I clicked their newest video, I was mind-blown. They sounded great! I was amazed by the fact that they aren't well known yet. You can even compare them to some famous bands out there (one of which would be Paramore, which also has a female lead vocalist). So I've been playing this song non-stop for the past hour now.

And for anyone that wants to just read the lyrics, I typed it up for you. I figured it was worth it, since the song's pretty catchy.

Thinking - Against the Current Lyrics

You took my hand and you never let go
Well I was so sure but now I just don't know
You've got me thinking
You've got me thinking about you

Because you
You played my heart
Took my love
Did you plan this from the start?

Chorus:
Stop!
Just take a while
I won't wait another night
For you to call
Cause lately I've been thinking
That these fights
They don't mean a thing to me
Who are you to be the
Judge of what I should be

And here we go yeah we're at it again
Wish I could say that we were more than friends
Cause I've been dreaming
I've been dreaming about you
[About you]

Because you
You played my heart
Took my love
Did you plan this from the start?

And if I could do it over again
I'd do anything to be yours in the end

Chorus (x2)

When I looked into your eyes
I saw what we should be
[Saw what we should be]
You may not care anymore
But you meant everything to me

Stop!
Just take a while
I won't wait another night
For you to call
Cause lately I've been thinking
These fights
They don't
Don't mean a thing to...
Chorus (2x)
