Lyrics:
Don't hold my hand like that
You'll hurt your knees
I kissed your mouth and back
That's all I need
But don't build your world around
Volcanoes melt you down

And what I am to you is not real
What I am to you, you do not need
What I am to you's not what you mean to me
For givin' me miles
And miles of mountains
And I'll part them with sea

What I give to you is just what I'm going through
This is nothing new
It's just another phase of finding what I really need
Is what makes me bleed
Like a true disease
She's still too young

Notes:
A long time ago I saw the most pretentious movie I’ve even watched in all my life, De Fem benspænd (The Five Obstructions). Basically, it’s a metafilm about Jorgen Leth being challenged by Lars von Trier to remake his 1967 short film, The Perfect Human (Der Perfekte Menneske), five times with certain rules. For the first obstruction, Leth has to film in Cuba and can only have 12 consecutive frames from a take. The second has Leth playing “the perfect man” in an extremely miserable place. For the third, Leth has no constraints. The fourth must be a cartoon. He must read the voiceover for a film about him that someone else directed under his name for the last obstruction. I found the film to be interesting on some levels, mostly on a vidding level. I thought it would fun to set constraints on myself. I set 5 obstructions for myself and was forced myself to follow them for this vid. My first obstruction was completing the vid in under a day and a cookie to anyone who wants guess at what my other 4 were.

If anything, this vid is one big “DON’T DO DRUGS!” ad.

That's very cool -- thanks for sharing the obstructions! I forgot to mention it in the original comment, but I really like what you did with the audio.

The Shane in 4x01 is so different from the Shane I watched in 4x07 last night. I'm pleasantly surprised at what they are doing with her character and still making it believable to me. (P.S. how cute is Shay?)

I feel exactly the same. It's such a cliched plot device, bringing in a kid, and yet it feels authentic and I pretty much love seeing the effects on Shane. The kid playing Shay has the most freakin' GORGEOUS eyes! And dude, now I fear for heartbreak, after the most recent ep :( Ah, well.

I wanted to do something different because it seemed like I just vid the song, so I want to try tailoring the music to the vid as well.

When he had his black eye, noticed how cute his eyes were. I felt terrible at the end of the episode. Look at what she was about to do. That's a huge step and then it's pretty much pulled out from under her. Eric Roberts is on my tv all the time now.

When the storyline started I worried about where they were going seeing as the only storylines I like right now are Max and Shane. It seems like most of the other characters aren't themselves anymore. It's not believable or interesting.
