Amazing, by Blue October
How am I supposed to breathe?
I try to relax, I touch your still frame
So I can watch you closer
And study the ways I believe I belong to you
To you
so I, I scratch at your waist line, your doll hair
I dig up the thought of how your eyes glow
So I make you my religion, my collision, my escape goat
So have I found your secret weak spot, baby?
(Chorus)
Can you pretend I’m amazing?
I can pretend I’m amazing
Instead of what we both know
Instead of what we both know
I cut to the punch line baby
Can we pretend I’m amazing
Instead of what we both know
Now our history is for sale
And for that, I apologize
You see, you’re my only know how
The study of when I believed I belonged to you
To you
You see I’ve made you into something more delicious,
My sweet ghost
So have I found your secret weak spot, baby?
Can you pretend I’m amazing?
I can pretend I’m amazing
Instead of what we both know
Instead of what we both know
I cut to the punch line baby
Can we pretend I’m amazing
Instead of what we both know
Sounds like a real life experience Justin is writing about here. The lyrics in “Amazing” conclude a list of songs on the album “History for Sale” that seem to all reflect on Justin’s relationship with one ex-girlfriend. In the first song, “Ugly Side,” he introduces his first meetings with the girl. Conclusively, “Amazing,” the last track on the album, deals with Justin and his girl breaking up and taking a different direction. He does not explain why she leaves, but the lyrics definitely tell us that he was deeply in love with her. I wish that everybody knew how great the writing is in Blue October’s music. Perhaps if they were a bit more positive?
