I don’t care if this song is overplayed. I absolutely love this song. Probably like most, I heard of them from the movie 500 Days of Summer. Ever since I watched that movie last year, I’ve been in love with this band. I will never ever get sick of this song. This is a type of song where when I close my eyes, it brings me back to a time when I went ice skating in downtown Chicago outside. It was my first trip without parents. There wasn’t many people on the ice with me, so I spread my arms while skating and looked up at the skyscrapers and closed my eyes. Yes, very dramatic, but I felt sooo free. There are a handful of songs that bring me back to that place.

THE TEMPER TRAP - SWEET DISPOSITION

Sweet disposition
Never too soon
Oh, reckless abandon
Like no one’s watching you
A moment
A love
A dream
A laugh
A kiss
A cry
Our rights
Our wrongs
A moment a love
A dream
A laugh
A moment a love
A dream
A laugh

Just stay there
Cause I’ll be coming over
While our blood’s still young
It’s so young, it runs
And won’t stop ‘til it’s over
Won’t stop to surrender

Songs of desperation
I played them for you
A moment
A love
A dream
A laugh
A kiss
A cry
Our rights
Our wrongs
A moment a love
A dream
A laugh
A moment a love
A dream
A laugh

So stay there
Cause I’ll be coming over
And while our blood’s still young
So young, it runs
And won’t stop ‘til it’s over
Won’t stop to surrender
Won’t stop ‘til it’s over
Won’t stop ‘til it’s over
Won’t stop ‘til it’s over
Won’t stop to surrender 

THE TEMPER TRAP - SCIENCE OF FEAR

Brakes on, brakes on
The car is running empty
Brakes on, brakes on
The car is runnin’ empty
Downhill
Head on
This crash is comin’ slowly
Downhill
Head on 
This crash is comin’ slowly
Move
Or watch the slow death of your way of life

There’s a science to fear
It plagues my mind
And it keeps us right here
And it keeps us here

My ears 
My eyes
My brain is slowly bustin’
Black smoke
Red sky 
The television’s sayin’
Downhill
Head on another crash is comin’
Downhill
Head on another crash is comin’
Move
Or watch the murder of your way of life

There’s a science to fear
It plagues my mind
And it keeps us right here
And the less we know
The more we sit still
My baby’s stuck on a road
That leads to nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

Brakes on
Brakes on
Brakes on
Brakes on
Brakes on
There’s a science to fear
It plagues my mind
And it keeps us right here
And the less we know
The more we sit still, sit still
My baby’s stuck on a road
That leads to nowhere
Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere

One of my favorite bands. :) Best known for their “Sweet Disposition” song. Here’s another great song by them. 

THE TEMPER TRAP - LOVE LOST

Our love was lost
But now we’ve found it
Our love was lost
And hope was gone

Our love was lost
But now we’ve found it
And if you flash your heart
I won’t deny it
I promise

I promise

Your walls are up
Too cold to touch it
Your walls are up
Too high to climb

I know it’s hard 
But I can still hear it beating
So if you flash your heart
I won’t mistreat it
I promise

I promise

Our love was lost
In the rubble are all the things
That you’ve, you’ve been dreaming of
Keep me in mind
When you’re ready 
I am here
To take you every time

Oh our love was lost
Lost, lost, lost, lost….
Our love was lost
But now its found
