A Cursive Memory got its start when Colin Baylen and Shaun Profeta met at a birthday party. Shaun is the brother of Hellogoodbye drummer Chris Profeta. Mark Borst-Smith and Brian Bolen soon joined, forming a band originally called The Vagrants. At first, the band played only covers of some of their favorite bands, such as blink-182 and Jimmy Eat World, but soon started writing their own music. Drummer Dillan Wheeler climbed onboard to replace the departing Boylen, and A Cursive Memory signed with Vagrant Records before issuing their full-length debut, Changes, in February 2008.
The band debuted with a music video for their song "Everything" on the social networking website MySpace.

A Cursive Memory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I could have you
We'd sail around the world
See all you wanted to
But whatever I'll do
I just want to hold on and hold on and hold on
You haven't got it? Well love will grow with the seeds where the sunshine will always show
I wish our love can be everything I've dreamed of
I wish you could see me right here in front of you
But you want nothing to do with me
I give my love away
Say all that I can say
It's a thousand different ways to watch my heart break
But when I'm around you
I just want to hold on and hold on and hold on
You haven't got it? Well love will grow with the seeds where the sunshine will always show
And I'll love you, unconditionally, unconditionally, oh won't you love me?
I wish our love can be everything I've dreamed of
I wish you could see me right here in front of you
But you want nothing to do with me
Everything that I am dreaming
Is nothing like the way I'm feeling
Cause you don't see me
I wish our love can be everything I've dreamed of
I wish you could see me right here in front of you
But you want nothing to do with me
The song "Garden" by A Cursive Memory is about unrequited love and the frustration that comes with it. The singer is deeply in love with someone who doesn't reciprocate their feelings, and the song revolves around the pain that they feel because of it. The lyrics touch on the idea that if the person they love were to feel the same way or at least acknowledge their love, the two of them could conquer the world together. However, since that is not the case, they are left wanting and hoping for a connection that just isn't there.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that love is something that will grow and thrive if it is given the right conditions. The line "love will grow with the seeds where the sunshine will always show" is particularly poignant because it implies that love needs nurturing and a positive environment to flourish. The singer's love is unconditional, meaning that it is not based on any external factors or conditions but is simply what they feel in their heart. Despite their pain and heartbreak, the singer still holds on to hope that their love will eventually be returned.
In the last verse, the singer expresses their frustration at not being seen or noticed by the one they love. Despite their efforts to show their love and make it known, they feel invisible to the other person. The song is ultimately a sad and melancholy reflection on the pain of unrequited love.

If you would love me
If only you loved me back
If I could have you
If only I could be with you
We'd sail around the world
We'd travel and see places together
See all you wanted to
Explore all the places you ever wanted to see
But whatever I'll do
No matter what I do
I just want to hold on and hold on and hold on
I just want to hold on to the hope that we can be together
You haven't got it? Well love will grow with the seeds where the sunshine will always show
If you don't understand, love will still grow where there's warmth and light
And I'll love you, unconditionally, unconditionally, oh won't you love me?
I'll love you unconditionally, can't you do the same for me?
I wish our love can be everything I've dreamed of
I hope our love can live up to my expectations
I wish you could see me right here in front of you
I wish you could see how much I care for you
But you want nothing to do with me
But you don't feel the same way
I give my love away
I express my love openly
Say all that I can say
I try to communicate my feelings
It's a thousand different ways to watch my heart break
There are countless ways for you to crush my heart
But when I'm around you
But when I'm near you
I just want to hold on and hold on and hold on
I cling to the hope that we can be together
Everything that I am dreaming
All that I fantasize
Is nothing like the way I'm feeling
But my emotions are not the same
Cause you don't see me
Because you don't feel the same for me

@beccabrown028 ahh.... thank you so much though. At least there's something rather than nothing. There are a few mistakes to it though but it's alright. I thought it was "Well heaven garden" instead of "We'll have a garden". Oh well. Thanks anyway. :D
