You're just jealous cuz we're young and in love.

Yesterday I had a super emo moment listening to one of my favorite bands, Brand New. In high school I was obsessed with Brand New. I used their lyrics to apply to my life and pasted them all over my myspace and AIM profile. The title of this blog, comes from a Brand New song (posted below). I can remember living and breathing for this song and thinking that people were jealous of my high school boyfriend and I because we were young and in love. How precious/corny. But listening to those old songs got me thinking about how much I miss high school and how simple life was back then. I miss my volcom hoodies, my black and pink vans, concerts in smokey bars, the feeling of finding your first "true love" and thinking it will last forever, connecting with people through the words in a song, feeling emotions and not being afraid to express them, not worrying about what the future holds, living for the moment.

Not to say that I have a super complicated life now or anything, but things back then were just so much easier. My biggest problem back then was whether or not my mom would let me stay out past curfew. I had forgotten what it feels like to listen to a song and be completely taken away to a different place. Music has always been a big part of my life..I think I just forgot how big of a part it used to be.


"Soco Amaretto Lime" Brand New

Passed out on the overpass
Sunday best and broken glass
Broken down from the bikes and bars
Suspended like spirits over speeding cars
You and me were kings over the parkway tonight
And tonight will go on forever while we
walk around this town like we own the streets
and stay awake through summer like we own the heat
Singing "everybody wake up (wake up) it's time to get down"
(everybody, everybody wake up its time to get down)
And when I pass the bottle back to Pete
on the overpass tonight, I bet we laugh

I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open)
So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned)
And we'll never miss a party (this offer...)
cause we keep them going constantly (...stands forever)
And we'll never have to listen (new haircut)
to anyone about anything (new bracelet)
cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner)
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get

The hell out of this town
Find some conversation
The low fuel lights been on for days
It doesn't mean anything
I've got another 500, 'nother 500 miles
before we shut this engine down,
we shut it down

I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open)
So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned)
And we'll never miss a party (this offer...)
cause we keep them going constantly (...stands forever)
And we'll never have to listen (new haircut)
to anyone about anything (new bracelet)
cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner)
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get (wait forever)

(you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love)
Eighteen forever (first kisses)
(your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation)
So we can stay like this forever (new stitches)
(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)
And we'll never miss a party (collar weekend)
(and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over)
cause we keep them going constantly (appearance ticket)
(you're just jealous cause I'm young and in love)
And we'll never have to listen (November to...)
(your stomach's filled up but you're starved for conversation)
to anyone about anything cause it's all been done (...remember)
(you're spending all your nights growing old in your bed)
and it's all been said (nightswimmers)
(and your tearin up your photos cause you wanna forget... it's over)
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get

Just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
You're just jealous cause we're young and in love
