Telepathy.



A friend and I always spoke about how we were affected by telepathy and how it played it's dirty little tricks on us.From colour co-ordinated clothes to picking the same advertising agency for an assignment, its occurences are endless.

Telepathy happens with those who you're close to right? Funny then, how this one song i heard a while back by the Plain White T's [they're not emo fags!] sang out to me what i was thinking inside my head. His voice almost came through me and back into my ears as i heard the song on Repeat.

Songs can speak volumes, or so they say. I always said this to sound musically-inclined, and try and start a conversation or two with random people in malls or public buses. Never thought a song could reinforce this idea and take it to a totally different level, on where these songs actually flow in your veins, grow on your head, or whatever that is still part of our oddly disfunctional selves.

Some sort of weird telepathy,[a freak co-incidence] I'd convince myself that this song was written for me/through me/by me, even. So here...

"A Lonely September"

I'm sittin' here all by myself
just tryin' to think of something to do
Tryin' to think of something, anything
just to keep me from thinking of you
But you know it's not working out
'cause you're all that's on my mind
One thought of you is all it takes
to leave the rest of the world behind

Well I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back, but I know you did

I'm sittin' here tryin' to convince myself
that you're not the one for me
But the more I think, the less I believe it
and the more I want you here with me
You know the holidays are coming up
I don't want to spend them alone
Memories of Christmas time with you
will just kill me if I'm on my own

I know it's not the smartest thing to do
we just can't seem to get it right
But what I wouldn't give to have one more chance tonight
One more chance tonight

I'm sittin' here tryin' to entertain myself with this old guitar
But with all my inspiration gone it's not getting me very far
I look around my room and everything I see reminds me of you
Oh please, baby won't you take my hand
we've got nothing left to prove

And I didn't mean to meet you then
we were just kids
And I didn't mean to give you chills
the way that I kiss
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back but I know you did
Don't say you didn't love me back 'cause you know you did
No, you didn't mean to love me back
But you did
