Quote #1458 from It's Not by Aimee Mann
Thu, 2009-03-19 14:30 — GabrielleI keep going round and round on the same old circuit
A wire travels underground to a vacant lot
Where something I can't see interrupts the current
And shrinks the picture down to a tiny dot
And from behind the screen it can look so perfect
But it's not.
Quote #1459 from It's Not by Aimee Mann
Thu, 2009-03-19 14:30 — GabrielleSo here I'm sitting in my car at the same old stop light
I keep waiting for a change but I don't know what
So red turns into green turning into yellow
But I'm just frozen here in the same old spot
And all I have to do is to press the pedal, but I'm not.

Thu, 2009-03-19 14:30 — GabriellePeople are tricky, you can't afford to show
Anything risky, anything they don't know
The moment you try - kiss it goodbye.
Quote #1461 from Momentum by Aimee Mann
Thu, 2009-03-19 14:30 — GabrielleBut I can't confront the doubts I have
I can't admit that maybe the past was bad
And so, for the sake of momentum,
I'm condemning the future to death
So it can match the past.
