I Will Follow You Into the Dark

I wasn't always an EMO type of guy.. There are a lot of EMO bands that I can't stand. It used to be that Death Cab For Cutie was one of them. Over time and a few Bourbons, I've grown to love Death Cab. Currently, my most absolute, favoritist, bestest song ever is I Will Follow You Into the Dark. I love this song. Lyrics ahead.. Anyway, I drove up to the San Francisco area for Thanksgiving (Napa/Sanoma more like). I think it was the most fulfilling Thanksgiving I had ever experienced. It only solidified the want and need I have for my family and how much I enjoy them being in my life. I'm so glad to have such a great matriarch of a grandmother, cousins that I can shoot the shit with, aunts and uncles who try and "get" me (so funny). Driving almost 500 miles (one way) was well worth the experience. I did stop in San Fransisco for some pics, which will also be featured in this post.

I've gone from someone who wasn't sure whether a family would be appropriate for me to someone who wishes to find that special someone to start a new life, and to start new lives (wink wink). Of course, I don't want to start it NOW, but I do want to start one. I would find it most detrimental if I tried to start a family now. It would be rather irresponsible of me. But I do want to start one.

I love SF....

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles brusied by a lady in black
And I held my toungue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark
