“I Swear This Time I Mean It” by Mayday Parade

This week’s song is “I Swear This Time I Mean It” by Mayday Parade.  This song is a good love song and since Valentine’s Day is right around the corner this could provide some inspiration.  This song is one of Mayday Parade’s finest.  This song is just like Valentines day.  It’s sweet and slow.  The song was released Oct. 5, 2009 on Itunes. The band is currently is not working together anymore.  They do shows here and there but they broke up on Oct. 7, 2013.   Their last and fine performances was July 4.

 

Oh Florida, please be still tonight

Don’t disturb this love of mine

Look how she’s so serene

You’ve gotta help me out

 

And count the stars to form in lines

And find the words we’ll sing in time

I want to keep her dreaming

It’s my one wish, I won’t forget this

 

I’m outdated, overrated

Morning seems so far way

 

So I’ll sing a melody

And hope to God she’s listening

Sleeping softly while I sing

And I’ll be your memories

Your lullaby for all the times

Hoping that my voice could get it right

 

If luck is on my side tonight

My clumsy tongue will make it right

And wrists that touch

It isn’t much, but it’s enough

To form imaginary lines

Forget your scars, we’ll forget mine

The hours change so fast

Oh God, please make this last

 

 

So I’ll sing a melody

And hope to God she’s listening

Sleeping softly while I sing

And I’ll be your memories

Your lullaby for all the times

Hoping that my voice could get it right

Could get it right

 

You could crush me

Please don’t crush me

‘Cause baby I’m a dreamer for sure

And I won’t let you down  I swear this time I mean it


Their songs speak to a lot of people souls, and it’s sad that they split up. At least they have amazing music out there in the world.  All their albums have many different types of songs for any emotion you’re feeling at that moment.  The one most famous album is Anywhere but Here.  “I Swear This Time I Mean It”  is one of their tops hit.  Love is definitely in the air with this song.
