Straylight Run's The Tension and the Terror from their self-titled album.
LYRICS
All the boys voices cracking
Oh, the moaning half tones
Come summertime, we're all the same age here
All the tension and the terror
Thin-limbed gorgeous green eyes smiling
And I'm going straight to hell
All the possibility and promise just weighs on me so heavily
[CHORUS]
And I try but I'm not convincing
Your lips, they pout and twist
And I die trying just to keep myself from kissing you
You take in everything with a certainty I envy
It's somehow all I need
Just keep me guessing please
Darling, all of these awkward jumpstart-stalling conversations
Mean much more to me than anything
It comes down to me and you
And whether we're supposed to or not, we still will
We're so much better off than them
All the possibility and promise just weighs on me so heavily
[CHORUS]
A look
A laugh
A smile
A second passes by and I regret it
words just aren't right
Sometimes I just can't explain
All the ways you devastate me
Always on my mind
[CHORUS x2]

I love this song. This is how my (now) fiancee and I were the night we started dating. Man, I wanted to kiss those lips. And he has the most gorgeous green eyes. <3

@nikkiichan Only thing we've got close to that is public radio, and they play a lot of underground crap that isn't worth listening to TBH, but thanks for the info i'll look it up on YouTube!
-
@AsIRecall13 its a local alternative station. they are the only ones to play good stuff. although i think you can find them online if you search nova southeastern university's radio x

@nikkiichan Woah, what radio station do you listen to?

Can't we just agree that 3 guys who used to play in 1 band eventually turned themselves into 3 pretty damn good bands?
