It was a little tough making it through the day. I was getting by on very little sleep and didn't have much of an appetite. I was trying to distract myself with music, having recently rediscovered the joy that is OMD's If You Leave. However, the moment I let myself listen to the lyrics, and even worse, listen to Nada Surf's cover (written specially for The O.C., no less) in which the singer expresses far more emotion and yearning than the original, I felt myself slipping.

Nada Surf - If You Leave (OMD Cover)
If you leave, don't leave now
Please don't take my heart away
Promise me just one more night
Then we'll go our separate ways
We've always had time on our sides
Now it's fading fast
Every second every moment
We've gotta make it last

I touch you once I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd still be friends someday

If you leave I won't cry
I won't waste one single day
But if you leave don't look back
I'll be running the other way
Seven years went under the bridge
Like time was standing still
Heaven knows what happens now
You've gotta say you will

I touch you once I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd meet again

I touch you once I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd still be friends

I touch you once I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I need you now like I needed you then
You always said we'd meet again someday

If you leave
Oh if you leave
Oh if you leave
Don't look back
Don't look back
