Highwire by Gin Blossoms

This is not one of Gin Blossom's famous songs. I was listening to the Congratulations... I'm Sorry album when my liking for this song just flashed! The intro had a great combination of drum fills, guitar riffs and nicely timed bass presence.

The song is simply laid out though honestly i can't figure what this song's all about, but it's really rocking and would like to play this song with a band sometime!

I wanna take you so far
But they don't want to let us out
But they do, they do, they do

I don't wanna walk on that highwire
They ain't gonna let us down
But they do, they do, they do

What I could never believe in
I was never really even
And I forgot about the cost
And then I got lost, I got lost, I got lost, I got lost

Didn't really wanna live it over
Or even wanna live it down
But I do, I do, I do

What I could never believe in
I was never really even
And I forgot about the cost
And then I got lost, I got lost, I got lost, I got lost

Didn't really wanna live it over
Or even wanna live it down
But I do, I do, I do...

As Long As It Matters by Gin Blossoms

This was the 1st Gin Blossoms song that I became familiar with. My 2nd brother, Ryan, was the one who got me into this song. When Ryan liked a song, he listened to that song a lot, as in repeatedly. He initially saw this from MTV.

What makes this song special is this is one song that I tried to sing to a girl during a HS graduation party that one of my classmates had. I sang this with a guitar that i don't even know was tuned... this was supposed to be our love song this was my song for her. Too bad, as i learned after that summer, the feeling was not mutual.

How can I find something
That two can take
Without stumbling as we
Walk into our future's wake

I'm like a broken record
That you can play
Repeating as if it matters
Everything I want to say

I'll be all right
As long as it matters
As long as you're here with me now

Forget that time
It's nothing we touch and see
All this is fine
Even as it crashes down on me

I'm looking around
There's nothing that I could want
More than to tell you
There's no more than we've already got

I'll be all right
As long as it matters
As long as you're here with me now...

Forget that our time is almost up

I'll be all right
As long as it matters
As long as you're here with me now...
