Every once in a while I find a song that makes me cry. Usually it is a combination of what I call the "familiar feeling" that is part of my entire music collection and the lyrics hit home in such a way that I could have written them, and only wish that I had... The song I am referring to right now is "The Only Exception" by Paramore. I never liked this band but this song is putting their album in my collection. The only thing I don't like about this song is the last part of the bridge speaks about that premarital sex crap that pisses me off so much. TRUE love waits.
Here are the lyrics that speak to me:
When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist
Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm
Content with loneliness
You, are, the only exception
And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing
