playing on repeat...

Christina Perri has always been a favorite. Always. Her voice is luscious coupled with eerily enticing harmonies and lyrics that will tear you apart. Her new album released on Monday and the hopefully haunting songs are playing on repeat in my world. "The Words" is my very favorite...


all of the lights land on you
the rest of the world fades from view
and all of the love i see, please please, say you feel it too

all of the noise i hear inside
restless and loud, unspoken and wild
and all that you need to say, to make it all go away, is that you feel the same way too

and i know, the scariest part is letting go
'cause love is a ghost you can't control
i promise you the truth can't hurt us now
so let the words slip out of your mouth

and all of the steps that led me to you
and all of the hell i had to walk through
but i wouldn't trade a day, for the chance to say, my love i'm in love with you

and i know, the scariest part is letting go
'cause love is a ghost you can't control
i promise you the truth can't hurt us now
so let the words slip out of your mouth

i know that we're both afraid
we both made the same mistakes
an open heart is an open wound to you
and in the wind of a heavy choice
love has a quiet voice
still your mind, now i'm yours to choose

and i know, the scariest part is letting go
let my love be the light that guides you home
and i know the scariest part is letting go
'cause love is a ghost you can't control
i promise you the truth can't hurt us now
so let the words slip out of your mouth.
