The other day, I saw an interview with Peaches of TV. I only knew of her through reputation, and after the interview I was curious for more. I looked up form of the lyrics of her songs, which I found were not nearly as scandalous as I had expected – though I imagine it all sounds worse if sung the right way.

The site I was looking at had links to various other artists’ lyrics pages in the sidebar, and the one that caught my eye was Dashboard Confessional.

I miss Dashboard. I used to listen to him a lot, back when I could download music. Many of his songs were the background music for various parts of my life. Some songs, like Hands Down are still deeply intertwined in my mind with certain moments and the things I felt at the time.

Another one is So Impossible:

So Impossible
Dashboard Confessional

So she says
"Everyone's going to the party,
won't you come if I come
with a friend for your friend?
I'd be so pleased to see you
out of the classroom wearing the smile that I'll bring you.
I was hoping to learn a few things like..
Do you do you like dishing the dirt
on the whole class,
or talking the big smack,
pr playing the fool;
or wearing all of the latest fashions,
or bucking the new trends
wearing your old threads.
Or if you like coffee in the evening.
These are a few things
that I'd like to know"

So I say...
"I've been scheduled to work, but I'll call in.
And my friend isn't busy,
he'd be happy to join me.
And maybe my friend
and your friend
will hit it off…
or maybe… we will?"

I'm dying to know
do you do you like dreaming of things
so impossible, or only the practical,
or ever the wild?
Or waiting through all your bad bad days
just to end them with
someone you care about?
And do you like making out
and long drives and brown eyes
and guys that just
don't quite fit in?
Yeah, do you like them?
So yes, I'll see you there.
