Paperthin Hymn

by Anberlin on Never Take Friendship Personal

The song that made me start listening to them. It’s old to me now, but I like listening to it because it’s not the Anberlin you get on top 40. πŸ˜‰ As always, the music’s meaning means something completely different then…but now it’s about absent friends, and how the complaints of violins become my only friends.

When your only friends are hotel rooms
Hands are distant lullabies
If I could turn around I would tonight

These roads never seemed so long
Since your paper heart stopped beating leaving me suddenly alone
Will daybreak ever come?

Who’s gonna call on Sunday morning?
Who’s gonna drive you home?
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands

I thought you said forever
Over and over
A sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion

These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints of violins become my only friends

August evenings
Bring solemn warnings
To remember to kiss the ones you love goodnight

You never know what temporal days may bring
Laugh, love, live free and sing
When life is in discord
Praise ye the lord

Who’s gonna call on Sunday morning?
Who’s gonna drive you home?
I just want one more chance
To put my arms in fragile hands

I thought you said forever
Over and over
The sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion

These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints of violins become my only friends

I thought you said forever
Over and over
The sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion

These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints of violins become my only friends

I thought you said forever
Over and over
These thoughts run through my head




The best play of ‘Stand By Me’ I’ve ever heard…

Music is everything to me…it’s not uncommon for you all to hear me say this:

Every morning I wake up to music, and every morning I am reminded of how empty my life would be without it πŸ˜‰
