Another Perfect Pop Song?

You, Dear Reader, know very well how YDS loves a good pop song. There is one in particular on YDS's iPod that quite frequently has me reaching to replay it, sometimes over and over, frighteningly like a teenager.

But I can't help it. It has everything a great pop song should have: sex, longing, loneliness, angst, devotion to a lost cause, oh, and a good beat. And it doesn't hurt that both singers for The Veronicas have mastered that baleful sort of nasal tone that I'm doing a horrible job of describing but when you hear it sounds like instant longing.

Or maybe its just a road tramp song...

Anyway, here are the lyrics and the video for The Veronicas, This Love. I hope you enjoy.

This Love
The Veronicas
Hook Me Up

I can see it in your eyes
taste it in our first kiss
stranger in this lonely town
save me from my emptiness

You took my hand
you told me it would be ok
I trusted you to hold my heart
now fate is pulling me away, from you

Even if I leave you now
and it breaks my heart
even if I'm not around
I won't give in
I can't give up
on this love

You've become a piece of me
makes me sick to even think
of mornings waking up alone
searching for you in my sheets
don't fade
away

Even if I leave you now
and it breaks my heart
even if I'm not around
I won't give in
I can't give up
on this love

I can't just close the door
(on this love)
I never felt anything like this before
(like this love)
tell me the truth no matter what we're going through
will you hold on too 'cause
even if I leave you now
and it breaks my heart
even if I'm not around
I won't give in
I can't give up
on this love

Even if I leave you now
and it breaks my heart
even if I'm not around
I won't give in
I can't give up
on this love
