The Juice linked me to LyricsSift.com, which is my kind of site. They highlight cool lyric snippets (mostly emo ... just my style!) ... and from there, I found this song, which I've been digging today:

Motion City Soundtrack - Even if it Kills Me

I've got a lot of things to do tonight.
I'm so sick of making lists of things I'll never finish.
I've lived here for the last twelve years.
Since early 1995 all my shit has been in boxes.
But if I had a little more time to kill,
I'd settle every little stupid thing.
Yeah, you'd think that I would.

But I'm too tired to go to sleep tonight,
And I'm too weak to follow dreams tonight.
For the first time in a long time I can say that I want to try,
To get better and overcome each moment,
In my own way...

I wonder if I'll ever lose my mind.
I tried hard for a while but then I kind of gave up.
Winter is a killer when the sun goes down.
"I'm really not as stubborn as I seem."
Said the knuckle to the concrete.

But I'm too tired to go to sleep tonight,
And I'm too weak to follow dreams tonight.
For the first time in a long time I can say that I want to try,
To get better and overcome each moment,
In my own way...

I'm not saying that I've given up.
I'm just trying not to think as much I used to,
'Cause never is lonely little messed up word.
Maybe I'll get it right someday.

For the first time in a long time,
I can say that I want to try.
I feel helpless for the most part, but I'm learning to open my eyes.
And the sad truth of the matter is I'll never get over it,
But I'm gonna try,
To get better and overcome each moment,
In my own way...

I so want to get back on track,
And I'll do whatever it takes,
Even if it kills me...
