    Lyrics:
    Waiting down at the station
    I don't remember - I think it was late then Standing, always so quiet
    We're like elevators filled up with strangers No sound, no hallelujah's
    Still I was praying on the train ride home
    If I can't get the things I want
    If I can't get the things I want
    Just give me what I need
    Our words fill up the pages
    Fill up the days with psalms for the ages
    Still those vows that we all speak
    We break them like concrete
    And just make our words cheap
    I want someone to grow with
    Songs I can sing to, and I family to cling to
    But If I can't get the things I want
    If I can't get the things I want
    Just give me what I need

    my first time i was in new york city, i was newly sixteen and not sure about anything i wanted in life. i remember strolling for hours through the freezing air of brooklyn, down through williamsburg and over the bridge into manhattan. i had never been on the subway before and took the wrong train a couple of times. but when i realised i was headed in the wrong direction i would stay in my seat for a while and then get out at the next most lively station to do it all over again. it was a strange feeling to have nowhere to be and to watch all the people rushing past, each leading a different life. this song makes me feel the air and lights of the city.

    This song is for all the lost lonely souls up at 2am considering texting that ex or that crush. Praying that the feelings will be reciprocated. Longing for that feeling of warmth and love. A love that helps you sleep at night. The kind that when you feel it you sigh with content. And relax knowing that you are loved that you are special to someone. It makes those moments you dont forget. You cling to them. You want them to last for forever. There is no greater feeling. So for all the wandering souls out there. Take that chance. In the end no matter if they outcome goes the way you want it you'll get what you need.

    • @siamulislam8213

      Yeah. I took the chance. That was over a year ago. We never got back together. I dont think she even loves me anymore, I dont know for sure how she feels about me. But I could never stop loving her. She's the one girl that I truly loved and I never felt the way about anyone else as I did for her. The aura that used to linger in her presence, that's something I can't put out in words. I really wish I could stop loving her and clinging to our history or her memory, but I can't un-love someone. It hurts. It hurts a lot at times.

    • @siamulislam8213
      @siamulislam8213 4 роки тому +13

      But this is not meant to discourage someone from taking a chance. Its completely opposite. Take the chance if you have it! Even if the probability of rejection is 100%. At least you wont have to live with any regrets for your old age. Go talk to that person, see how they react. Dont miss out on chances in life. There's room for mistakes, but there's no room for regrets. Besides, even if you get rejected, you can sleep peacefully knowing that you are now free.

    i didnt even grow up in a big city yet the video just seems so nostalgic? it's like the kind of childhood that i never got to experience. walking around at night, the bright lights, the subway, running your hands along the fence to an old parking lot that has grass growing through the cracks; the nightlife, the old abandoned buildings whose windows reflect the warm and yellow sky as the sun begins to set, exploring around in the long deserted streets in the outskirts at dusk. the sky and the stars would hold more value to me, because when i see them they'd blow me away with how amazing they look. it's something i've thought of but nothing i'll ever have

I fell in love with her six years ago and I though she was the love of my life, but bad things happened (she told me that she will marry to someone else) and I came back to my city listening to this song and praying: "If I can't get the things I want, just give me what I need".
    Thank you for this song, and this whole album, The Paper Kites.

If your able to fly out to another country to see this girl then fly to a different country and travel and trust me somewhere along the way you'll meet that special someone shes waiting for you, I was in a situation u were in where all i wanted was this girl to grow old wit her and just be together forever but after a few months now honesty she was a waste of my time, and tbh i can do so much better than that, for someone like her to lead me on and tell me that it would work out was what was keeping me in, but once you stop daydreaming and fantasizing about being with her and go meet new people you'll realize the worlds a big place

    A scenario i picture in my head that id like to live someday when I listen to this song:
    I live in a big city alone with no relations, family & friends live in another country, i work full time with 1 day off every week but nobody knows about that one day, its a secret day all to myself, so i put my phone on do not disturb, grab my earphones, some money & my jacket then head out of my apartment, no ID no license nothing that can label or identify me, no one knows me and i know no one, its the afternoon and i step out of my building, the low sun's weak rays hit my face and reflect off my eyes as i start to walk aimlessly, i take a different road every week, and always get of on different bus or train stops, i meet random people and share a cigarette with them while exchanging life stories, then we say goodbye with no commitment between us, i walk around drinking coffee here and there until my legs are sore, but i still continue walking, trying to hold on to this liberating feeling, this thing that makes me feel like i have no attachments, no responsibilities, like im not part of anything, just peacefully observing the world through a window, taking in everything slowly, until the city streets start to get empty and the lights start to go out, thats when i head back home to my apartment building, and go to the roof to have a few cigarettes & a great view of the city infront of me, sometimes i see the janitor and we share a cig and talk about his day, i go back to my apartment, wear my pajamas, open the window and tuck myself under the blanket & fall asleep, wake up to work early in the morning and look forward to doing all of this again next week

    Often times we find ourselves lost and caught up in our own little world wondering how we all fit into this one big puzzle. Instead of it being a puzzle it’s actually a painting; a painting in which we all control what direction the next stroke the paint brush takes because we are the painter. As true artists we don’t have a specific image in mind we just express how we feel at the time and it takes our minds to a special place. Remember it’s not about the destination or how you get there, however it is about the journey and the experiences you gain out of them. I hope all of you reading this comment have a great day or night and enjoy the journey as well.

    Standing, always so quiet
    We’re like elevators

    Songs I can sing to
    And a family to cling to

    I took a girl to see them live with me in Austin this last year. We had originally met at a cafe. She was dressed in a beautiful blue/white striped dress. We talked briefly and exchanged information. It was the best conversation Id had with someone in so long, I didnt want to leave. We kept in touch over the weeks and I finally worked up enough courage to ask her out. From what I understood from her she was in a healing phase. And so I wanted her to have that moment and me just there to support her. After the show we walked and talked for almost an hour. She told me she wanted me to hold her at one point in the show. And I wish I had.

Sometimes it makes me feel empty because people around me don’t get it, then I think about it and realize they’re the ones that are empty inside for not feeling those things.

    There's a really soothing, meditative and introspective feel about this song. Really enjoy it, could just close my eyes and....feel it. Does remind me of times, when maybe I've had things on my mind and happened to have been on a train ride by myself.

    This makes me feel like the way "Young" made me feel... I can't believe it's been 5 years since then and I'm almost a year away from graduating college and moving out of state. It feels like things have come full circle with this release. Thanks so much for coming back with more wonderful music. It really enriches our lives

    here i am stepping into my quarter life crisis, waking up everyday just to answer each questions that has been around in my brain 'coz i'm not so sure anymore what i'm going to do in my life then this song came across my ears, each notes suit every picture of memories in my head that appears one by one almost like a slideshow.. listening this song just made me realise that everything in life wont last forever, how sad it is when you think about how fragile they are (the people, the moments, the times, and also life itself) every moment to come just another bridge of the ending and another beginning, people we met, places we went they are like stations, you got off in few and just passed by the others you'll never realise how far you've gone until u look back and see that long list of stations you've passing through

    3 years late but it does not matter. In a world that taught us to hustle in bustling cities, to always try to figure things out, to make ourselves known, this song validates our moments of silence, that feeling of uncertainty, and the gift of mystery. It’s okay to be just you and it reminds you to be patient with yourself as you navigate in this daunting reality called life.

    I'm currently working here in Singapore. The Train system here is great. Listening to The Paper Kites (particularly this song) gives me nostalgia. I miss my country even if it's messy. I miss the people. My family and friends. I miss home.

    this song threw me back to the time i was really happy in a relationship, seven years ago. he left me, went back to his old lover and got married. we remained as friends and used to talk a lot, then he disappeared and never talked to me again. it's been two years. i told him that he was the love of my life, that he made me whole; i still feel empty without him to this day. if i can't get the one i want to love, give me the one i need to love.

    Just listened to this album on Spotify the other day and I absolutely enjoyed it. The music reminds me of what is unachievable while the visual aspect brings up the curiosity of seeing a stranger in the street or while traveling. To many including myself it can be seen as an unknown story that may or may not be similar to your own and I believe you have captured and recorded that very well. Always glad to see new work from you guys it inspires me and many more. Keep up the brilliant work.

    • @blumeplants

      I believe the word that fits closest to what you're describing is Sonder: the realisation that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own. i definitely feel it while listening to The Paper Kites' new album...amazing how they could capture the the feeling into sound.

    I grew up in Jersey City right across the Hudson. Manhattan was my playground as a kid and when I returned to the area during my college years. Even during some of the most painful days and nights before I left the area, just walking around the city for a while had a way of putting me at ease. Amongst eight million strangers, I never felt alone because the city itself was my companion. Hopefully one day I will see it again and walk those streets and feel the city's heartbeat once more.

    Take a cab ride,
    Roam around the city.
    Walk by the sea shore,
    Only to lose what you came to find.
    Empty your soul in the depths of the city,
    Fill your heart with a longing for the melancholy.
    I'm a train ride away from home.
    A home somewhere in this city.

    Sometimes I want so much happiness for other people in my life and then I get depressed at the fact that they won’t be as happy as I want to see them.
    Sometimes I’ll see past all the smiles and see in their soul that they aren’t where they want to be. Lost in what everybody else is doing.
    Sometimes I just want to sleep and not feel what everybody else is feeling.

I hate it. :(

    This song hurts. So bad. Sometimes you just want things to go your way but maybe they can't. It's a lifelong struggle. What I get out of this song is calm sadness. I've definitely sat next to an open window at midnight while it's raining listening to this song. But it also somehow gives me a sense of "it's gonna be ok". Not sure how to describe it. Beauutiful song regardless

    do some of you guys know this feeling when there is someone you just can't be together with, because it hurts too much and it just doesn't work, but you cannot stop thinking about them? Like, I wonder what this is.. if it is just in my head, or i don't know, maybe we are supposed to be together, one day, when we are ready for it, but i cannot tell.. this song just purely outspeaks what I am feeling, the feeling of not being able to get what you want, but just what you need. I don't know, I don't know who you are, perhaps you still think of me, like I think of you, I am quite sure about that. And I am happy that at least I get the things I need, even if it means growing and being alone, and being able to find myself and who I am and the love I have for myself, and that is only possible if I am not with you. But still, you are always here, and I think about you always, not knowing what this is..
