My Pink Shoelace

Today is a winding road
Thats taking me to places that I didnt want to go, whoa
Today in the blink of an eye
Im holding on to something and I do not know why I tried

I tried to read between the lines
I tried to look in your eyes
I want a simple explanation; what Im feeling inside
I gotta find a way out
Maybe theres a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know youre unlike any other?
Youll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I dont wanna ever love another
Youll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Today is a winding road
Tell me where to start and tell me something I dont know, whoa
Today Im on my own
I cant move a muscle and I cant pick up the phone, I dont know

And now I’m itching for the tall grass
And longing for the breeze
I need to step outside, just to see if I can breathe
I gotta find a way out
Maybe theres a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know youre unlike any other?
Youll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I dont wanna ever love another
Youll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Yeah Im walking on a tightrope
I’m wrapped up in vines
I think Ill make it out but you just gotta give me time
Strike me down with lightning
Let me feel you in my veins
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain

Today is a winding road
Thats taking me to places that I didnt want to go, whoa

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know youre unlike any other?
Youll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I dont wanna ever love another
Youll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know youre unlike any other?
Youll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
Oh baby bring on the pain
And listen to the thunder

*** Was watching MTV while doing my lapse on the treadmill when this song came on and I was captivated. Like what Daddy Joe said, the emo in me … oh well … love it and now am asking someone to download their album for me ***
23 on the 23rd … presents are very much appreciated. lol!

Superstitions aren’t meant for lovers
Under covers, undiscovered is your skin
I am lonely, please let me in
You’re probably wondering what I was proving
Are you choosing?
Am I losing you tonight?
Is it over, over?

Are we fading?

I never wanted anything the way that I want you
But my words don’t seem to matter
My words don’t seem to matter
And you look at me and I can see
The lies you’re running to
But my words don’t seem to matter
I’d rather have you tested and true

Now you’ve had your chance
So lets try my way, it’s my day
To show you what you’re missing, turn around
And feel the winds of change upon your face again
The warm breath of your closest friend
I’m waiting, I’m waiting

Are we fading?

I never wanted anything the way that I want you
But my words don’t seem to matter
My words don’t seem to matter
And you look at me and I can see
The lies you’re running to
But my words don’t seem to matter
I’d rather have you tested and true

I’m scared we’ll fall apart tonight
Under the moonlight
Under the moonlight
I’m scared we’ll never make it right
Under the moonlight
Under the moonlight
Take my hand and hold it tight
Hold it tight

I never wanted anything the way that I want you
But my words don’t seem to matter
My words don’t seem to matter
And you look at me and I can see
The lies you’re running to
But my words don’t seem to matter
I’d rather have you tested and true

One of the classics I cannot seem to get over with, the lyrics plus Celine’s voice made it all the more … powerful.

The whispers in the morning
Of lovers sleeping tight
Are rolling by like thunder now
As I look in your eyes
I hold on to your body
And feel each move you make
Your voice is warm and tender
A love that I could not forsake
‘Cause I’m your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I’ll do all that I can
Lost is how I’m feeling
Lying in your arms
When the world outside’s too much to take
That all ends when I’m with you
Even though there may be times
It seems I’m far away
Never wonder where I am
‘Cause I’m always by your side
‘Cause I’m your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I’ll do all that I can
We’re heading for something
Somewhere I’ve never been
Sometimes I am frightened but I’m ready to learn
Of the power of love
The sound of your heart beating
Made it clear suddenly
The feeling that I can’t go on
Is light years away
‘Cause I’m your lady
And you are my man
Whenever you reach for me
I’ll do all that I can
We’re heading for something
Somewhere I’ve never been
Sometimes I am frightened but I’m ready to learn
Of the power of love
The power of love
The power of love
Sometimes I am frightened but I’m ready to learn
Of the power of love
The power of love

“I want to tell the whole world about a friend of mine
This little light of mine, I’m feelin’ let it shine
I’m feelin’ take y’all back to them better times
I’m feelin’ talk about my momma if y’all don’t mind (Hey Mama)”

So I was sleeping in the lounge when around 11PM I was awakened by some music, possibly someone’s alarm, the song has the words posted above and it doesn’t seem to continue playing to the next lines. It repeatedly played those lines over and over and it must have been repeating for the 3rd time before the owner woke up and shut it down. Whew!!!

Thats not the end, on the jeepney ride on my way home a fellow passenger who somehow looked like a wannabee gangsta was fooling around with his phone when all of a sudden the same song (the one in the lounge) played. Being the curious me I asked him what’s the title and he answered readily Hey Mama … one of the many Kanye West Ringtones he has. Waaaaahhh certainly a fan!! Well at least that solved the mysterious last song syndrome I’ve had all day.

I went out with a friend to accompany her with some shopping responsibilities, hehe. I really didn’t want to go out since I still had a lot to do in order to update some things but she was really persistent. Out of good will (and a little bribery), I a joined her in her quest for good finds so we went to the mall. At least the mall had just opened when we got there because I don’t want to wait for even a few more minutes to get business going, she knows how impatient I can get when things get delayed.

We passed by some designer shops which were classy, she told me she was going to give her aunt something because she received a gift from her as well. She made me guess what but since I was too tired to even think about gifts and things she gave me clue instead.

She told me that she’s going to watch a concert of one of the major pop icons of all time. After some more probing, she told me that the one that’s been playing in the shop is the artist that she’s going to get ready for. In the background, it was Madonna and Justin Timberlake’s hit “4 minutes” was playing. I was in total shock and she laughed at the expression on my face on how surprised I was.

She’s preparing for a trip in the United Kingdom since her aunt purchased some Madonna Tickets Cardiff. I said “Wow”, I couldn’t get believe she purchased some Madonna Tickets and actually get to see her perform live. I asked her how she was able to get some passes and she told me her aunt had some good connections to get at least a place near the stage. Madonna Tickets London is still available and she even wanted me to join but I couldn’t as I still have to prepare a trip in Thailand; which I’m also excited about.

Well, that’s that, she’ll be gone for a week whereas my unpaid leave was already approved. I’m hoping that everything turns out fine and goes out smoothly. This is another chance for us to explore the world and satisfy our craving for traveling.  I’m sure that when we get back from our destinations, we’ll have a whole load of stories (not to mention pictures) to share. I’m already excited just thinking about it.

~ This song was sang by Albert on one of the videoke sessions we’ve had and I can’t seem to get it out of my head. It’s literally one of the songs thats kept on playing on my head over and over. Weeeeeee ~

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
Bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why don’t we go
Jamaica

Off the florida keys
There’s a place called kokomo
That’s where you wanna go to get away from it all

Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
We’ll be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why don’t we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
We’ll get there fast
And then we’ll take it slow
That’s where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo

To martinique, that monserrat mystique

We’ll put out to sea
And we’ll perfect our chemistry
By and by we’ll defy a little bit of gravity

Afternoon delight
Cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye
Give me a tropical contact high
Way down in kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why don’t we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
We’ll get there fast
And then we’ll take it slow
That’s where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo

Port au prince I wanna catch a glimpse

Everybody knows
A little place like kokomo
Now if you wanna go
And get away from it all
Go down to kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why don’t we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
We’ll get there fast
And then we’ll take it slow
That’s where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why don’t we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo

~ Am on leave … again!!! and this song has been playing on my player since early this morning … over and over .. I can’t seem to get enough of it. Now this is what I call a heavy dose of last song syndrome. ~

Closed off from love
I didn’t need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you’re frozen

But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melted to the ground
Found something true
And everyone’s looking round
Thinking I’m going crazy

But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing’s greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I’m going crazy, maybe, maybe

But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep (keep) bleeding love (love)
You cut me open

And it’s draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I’ll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see

I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing (ooh)
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding (ah ah)
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love (ooh ooh)
Keep bleeding (oh ooh ooh)
Keep, keep bleeding love (love)
(Oh) you cut me open and I

Keep bleeding (ah ah)
Keep, keep bleeding love (yeah ah yeah)
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love (oh, I keep bleeding love)
Keep bleeding (I keep)
Keep, keep bleeding love (oh)
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love

~~ Am a huge music freak and on my way to work this was the song playing in the cab … I can’t help but hum along with it … it’d be nice I guess to be stuck on someone for once … and for a change.

Stuck on you
(I’ve) Got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can’t lose
Guess I’m on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I’ll be with you till the end
Guess I’m on my way
Mighty glad you stayed

Stuck on you
Been a fool too long I guess it’s time for me to come on home
Guess I’m on my way
So hard to see
That a woman like you could wait around for a man like me
Guess I’m on my way
Mighty glad you stayed

I’m leaving on that midnight train tomorrow
And I know just where I’m goin’
Packed up my troubles and I thrown them all away
Cause this time little darling
I’m coming home to stay

Stuck on you
I’ve got this feelin’ down deep in my soul that I just can’t lose
Guess I’m on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I’ll be with you ’till the end
Guess I’m on my way
Mighty glad you stayed

Come on baby get your shoes on
You’re looking like you need a rescue
Underneath the southern moonlight
Where only I can find you
We can do it with our eyes closed
We can sit and talk for hours
Underneath the golden flowers
Where my sunshine grows

Sugar my love
Sugar my burn
Sugar may hide
Sugar may learn

I could give a thousand reasons
I could live a thousand lives
I know I would always meet you
Underneath a summer sky
So come on tell me love is glory
Come on tell me love is real
Show me what your heart is made of
Show me what I need to feel

( CHORUS )

Show me that love is worth the wait
Tell me I’m right
Give me your love don’t hesitate
Show me tonight

I waited so long for a love so true
So I’m giving it all right back to you
I’m giving you my best of silver
I’m giving you my best of gold

Sugar may hide
Sugar may burn

So come on baby get those shoes on
And we can run away from here
Talk about a life we’re starting
We can start it all right here

Show me that love is worth the wait
Tell me I’m right
Give me your love don’t hesitate
Show me tonight

Just talk yourself up
And tear yourself down
You built your wooden wall
Now find a way around
Well what’s the problem?
You’ve got a lot of nerve

So what did you think I would say?
You can’t run away, you can’t run away
So what did you think I would say?
You can’t run away, you can’t run away
You wouldn’t

I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threw it away

I’m not so naive
My sorry eyes can see
The way you fly shy
Of almost everything
Well, if you give up
You’ll get what you deserve

So what did you think I would say?
You can’t run away, you can’t run away
So what did you think I would say?
You can’t run away, no you can’t run away
You wouldn’t

I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away
You threw it away

You were finished long before
We had even seen the start
Why don’t you stand up, be a man about it?
Fight with your bare hands about it now

I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay well did you
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away

I never wanted to say this
You never wanted to stay
I put my faith in you, so much faith
And then you just threw it away

Take my photo off the wall
If it just won’t sing for you
Cause all that’s left has gone away
And there’s nothing there for you to prove

Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems like such fun
Until you lose what you had won
Ooh, ooh

Give me back my point of view
Cause I just can’t think for you
I can hardly hear you say
What should I do, well you choose

Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems like such fun
Until you lose what you had won
Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

Take my photo of the wall
If it just won’t sing for you
Cause all that’s left has gone away
And there’s nothing there for you to do

Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems like such fun
Until you lose what you had won
Oh, look what you’ve done
You’ve made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

No sir, well I don’t wanna be the blame, not anymore
It’s your turn, so take a seat we’re settling the final score
And why do we like to hurt, so much?

I can’t decide
You have made it harder just to go on
And why, all the possibilities where I was wrong

That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating
And that’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you’re not here
Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here
I still try holding onto silly things, I never learn
Oh why, all the possibilities I’m sure you’ve heard

That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating (beating)
And that’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

Hey, make your way to me, to me
And I’ll always be just so inviting
If I ever start to think straight
This heart will start a riot in me
Let’s start, start, hey!

Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh why do we like to hurt so much?

That’s what you get when you let your heart win!
Whoa

That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa
That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

Now I can’t trust myself with anything but this
And that’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa

2 AM and she calls me cause I’m still awake
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
I don’t love him, winter just wasn’t my season.
Yeah we walk through the doors so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize
Hypocrites, you’re all here for the very same reason.

Cause you can’t jump the track
We’re like cars on a cable
and life’s like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button, girl
So cradle your head in your hands.
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe, just breathe

May he turned 21 on the base of Fort Bliss
“Just a day,” he said down to the flask in his fist
Ain’t been sober since maybe October of last year
Here in town you can tell he’s been down for awhile
But my God it’s so beautiful when the boy smiles
Wanna hold him maybe I’ll just sing about it

Cause you can’t jump the track
We’re like cars on a cable
And life’s like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button, boys
so cradle your head in your hands
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breath just breathe

There’s a light at each end of this tunnel
You shout cause you’re just as far in as you’ll ever be out
And these mistakes you’ve made
You’ll just make them again if you’ll only try turnin’ around

2 AM and I’m still awake writing this song
If I get it all down on paper it’s no longer inside of me
Threatening the life it belongs to.
And I feel like I’m naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary screamin’ out aloud
And I know that you’ll use them however you want to.

But you can’t jump the track
We’re like cars on a cable
And life’s like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand, yeah breathe
Just breathe, oh oh breathe, just breathe, oh breathe,
just breathe, oh breathe, just breathe

When I heard Don’t Cha by Pussycat Dolls way back I used to think it was cool having a female group collaborate with a rap artist. the song was stuck in my head for quite sometime, when asked who the artist was my immediate response was PSD, completely forgetting the fact that it was a collaboration. While this song was playing on my playlist at one time I did get the chance to search online for the lyrics and ran across Busta Rhymes Biography, an interesting read for those who are a huge fan and for the curious ones as well. Definitely one of the big names in the music industry.

No sir, well I don’t wanna be the blame, not anymore.
It’s your turn, so take a seat we’re settling the final score.
And why do we like to hurt so much?

I can’t decide
You have made it harder just to go on
And why, all the possibilities where I was wrong

That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating.
And that’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

I wonder, how am I supposed to feel when you’re not here.
‘Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here.
I still try holding onto silly things, I never learn.
Oh why, all the possibilities I’m sure you’ve heard.

That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating (beating)
And that’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Pain make your way to me, to me.
And I’ll always be just so inviting.
If I ever start to think straight,
This heart will start a riot in me,
Let’s start, start, hey!

Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh why do we like to hurt so much?

That’s what you get when you let your heart win!
Whoa.

That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.
That’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

Now I can’t trust myself with anything but this,
And that’s what you get when you let your heart win, whoa.

she’s blood, flesh and bone
no tucks or silicone
she’s touch smell sight taste and sound
but somehow i can’t believe that anything should happen
i know where i belong and nothing’s gonna happen

cause she’s so high
high above me
she’s so lovely
she’s so high
high above me
like cleopatra, joan of arc, or aphrodite
she’s so high
high above me

first class and fancy free
she’s high society
she’s got the best of everything
what could a guy like me ever really offer
she’s perfect as she can be
why should i even bother

cause she’s so high
high above me
she’s so lovely
she’s so high
like cleopatra, joan of arc or aphrodite
she’s so high
high above me

she comes to speak to me
i freeze immediately
cause what she says sounds so unreal
but somehow i can’t believe that anything should happen
i know where i belong and nothing’s gonna happen

‘cos she’s so high
high above me
she’s so lovely
she’s so high
like cleopatra, joan of arc or aphrodite
‘cos she’s so high
high above me

~~~ The original was from Tal Bachman, but I like Kurt’s version better~~~

Leaves are on the ground
Fall has come
Blue skies turning grey
Like my love
I try to carry you
And make you whole
But it was never enough
I must go

And who is gonna save you when I’m gone?
And who’ll watch over you
When I’m gone?

You say you care for me
But hide it well
How can you love someone not yourself?

And who is gonna save you when I’m gone?
And who’ll watch over you
When I’m gone?

And when I’m gone who will break your fall?
Who will you blame?
I can’t go on let you loose it all It’s more then I can take
Who’ll ease your pain?
Ease your pain

And who is gonna save you when I’m gone?
And who’ll watch over you?
And I will give you strength when you’re not strong?
Who’ll watch over you when I’ve gone away?

Snow is on the ground
Winter’s come
You long to hear my voice
But I’m long gone

~ was talking to my previous team lead earlier this afternoon and as usual music would be part of the conversation, he sent me an mp3 file of this song and its just amazing. ~

The thought just hit my head when I remembered him, he told me a year ago about this song that caught him crying as it played on the radio while he was driving. He sent it as a file to my email I never bothered to listen to it back then as it was a reminder of a cruel someone who’s got the same name as mine.

This song just came up to mind out of the blue, digged it up from You Tube and listened to it over and over. This goes out to all those fathers and mothers who did the unspeakable.

The perfect words never crossed my mind
‘Cause there was nothing in there but you

I felt every ounce of me screaming out
But the sound was trapped deep in me

All I’ve wanted just sped right past me
But I was rooted fast to the earth
I could be stuck here for a thousand years
Without your arms to drag me out

There you are, standing right in front of me
There you are, standing right in front of me
All this here falls away to leave me naked
Hold me close ’cause I need you to guide me to safety

No, I don’t wanna wait forever
No, I don’t wanna wait forever

In the confusion and the aftermath
You are my signal fire

The only resolution and the only joy
Is the faint spark of forgiveness in your eye

There you are, standing right in front of me
There you are, standing right in front of me
All this here falls away to leave me naked
Hold me close ’cause I need you to guide me to safety

There you are, standing right in front of me
There you are, standing right in front of me
All this here falls away to leave me naked
Hold me close ’cause I need you to guide me to safety

No, I don’t wanna wait forever
No, I don’t wanna wait forever
No, I don’t wanna wait forever

Come on, without you
I’ll never feel the love inside of me
Come On, you know that we belong
come on, come on, come on, come on

~ ’twas what’s on my mind … ben jelen singing you know that we belong … was about to say that to him but am afraid its just me who thinks we belong … so I seek for sleep in the comfort of his proximity wishing for the ride to go on forever ~

Beautiful dawn
Lights up the shore for me.
There is nothing else in the world,
I’d rather wake up and see (with you).
Beautiful dawn
I’m just chasing time again.
Thought I would die a lonely man, in endless night.

But now I’m high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it’s hard to believe you remember me.

Beautiful dawn
Melt with the stars again.
Do you remember the day when my journey began?
Will you remember the end (of time)?
Beautiful dawn
You’re just blowing my mind again.
Thought I was born to endless night, until you shine.

High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it’s hard to believe you remember me.

Will you be my shoulder when I’m grey and older?
Promise me tomorrow starts with you,
Getting high; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it’s hard to believe you remember me

High; running wild among all the stars above.
Sometimes it’s hard to believe you remember me

- Mitchy likes James Blunt very much especially his hit song, You’re Beautiful, was downloading songs last night when this artist came to mind so I searched for him and downloaded almost all of his songs. This one caught my ear and am hooked, he’s coming over to Manila this May, hopefully by God’s grace I’ll be able to watch his concert. Crossing my fingers for luck.

It’s the things that you do
So physical
It’s the things that you say
So flammable
You know I can’t resist
Boy it’s such a shame
Do you belong to another?

I don’t wanna hurt nobody
But my heart just can’t hold back

It’s the way you make me feel
(The way that you make me feel)
Spinning my world around
Tell me how can I walk away
I don’t care what they say
I’m loving you anyway
It’s the way you make me feel

I’m gonna make you mine
It’s not impossible
Got to let you know
I’m irresistible
Baby can’t you see
You’re the one for me
But you belong to another

I don’t wanna hurt nobody
But my heart just can’t hold back

It’s the way you make me feel
(The way that you make me feel)
Spinning my world around
Tell me how can I walk away
I don’t care what they say
I’m loving you anyway
It’s the way you make me feel

Make me feel, make me feel
Ooooh
Make me feel, make me feel

When I look into your eyes
Every time you smile at me
Oh, I go weak inside
Baby I just can’t hide
My love…

It’s the way you make me feel
(The way that you make me feel)
Spinning my world around
Tell me how can I walk away
I don’t care what they say
I’m loving you anyway
Anyway

It’s the way you
Make me feel, make me feel
Ooooh
Make me feel, make me feel
Tell me how can I walk away
I don’t care what they say
I’m loving you anyway

It’s the way you make me… Feel

Superstitions aren’t meant for lovers
Under covers, undiscovered is your skin
I am lonely, please let me in
You’re probably wondering what I was proving
Are you choosing?
Am I losing you tonight?
Is it over, over?

Are we fading?

I never wanted anything the way that I want you
But my words don’t seem to matter
My words don’t seem to matter
And you look at me and I can see
The lies you’re running to
But my words don’t seem to matter
I’d rather have you tested and true

Now you’ve had your chance
So lets try my way, it’s my day
To show you what you’re missing, turn around
And feel the winds of change upon your face again
The warm breath of your closest friend
I’m waiting, I’m waiting

Are we fading?

I never wanted anything the way that I want you
But my words don’t seem to matter
My words don’t seem to matter
And you look at me and I can see
The lies you’re running to
But my words don’t seem to matter
I’d rather have you tested and true

I’m scared we’ll fall apart tonight
Under the moonlight
Under the moonlight
I’m scared we’ll never make it right
Under the moonlight
Under the moonlight
Take my hand and hold it tight
Hold it tight

I never wanted anything the way that I want you
But my words don’t seem to matter
My words don’t seem to matter
And you look at me and I can see
The lies you’re running to
But my words don’t seem to matter
I’d rather have you tested and true

~ by Secondhand Serenade, the song thats constantly playing over and over in my head and in my player ~

Was shopping at one of the malls here when out of nowhere bukie had his hands on my shoulder, looked around and saw Wafa, they were doing their own share of shopping escapade. After a bit of chitchat we parted ways and I started browsing through the jazz pants to see if there’s anything I like. Was looking for a shirt with my headsets on as always when this song came on, never knew it was in my phone till now. I stopped in my tracks when the chorus came on and it was like *whew* if I have all the guts in the world I would have said those very lines and hopefully make him change his mind and we’ll live happily ever after but then … I am me and all am capable of is write what I feel and look at him from a far. *sigh*

I never wanted anything the way that I want you
But my words don’t seem to matter
My words don’t seem to matter

From Tested and True by Secondhand Serenade … the song playing on the background.

I love u most when we share a place
those special good times together
it seems like our love cant get much better, no
‘cuz we were as close as two could be
we knew love would last forever
we’re more than just lovers, we’re
good friends

And even if our love
Could drift away
I wouldn’t even think twice
If I wanted love back again

Chorus 1
Because I’d still say yes to you again
My darling for you I’d do it all again
Yes I’d still say yes to you again
Darling for you I’d do it over and over again
To you ya know I’ll say yes
Oh my darling, oh my darling only for you

verse 2
Where does it go, how does it end
True love it seems so easy
‘Cuz we have no doubts
where we belong, where we belong

They say time can heal a broken heart
And true love never ends
So why not start where we began

Chorus 2
Because I’d still say yes to you again
My Darling for you I’d do it all again
Yes i’d still say yes to you again
Darling for you i’d do it over and over again

Bridge:
They say time can heal a broken heart
And true love never ends
So why not start where we began, baby

Repeat Chorus

I know you need a friend
someone you can talk to
who will understand
what you’re going through
when it comes to love
there’s no easy answer
only you can say
what you’re gonna do
i heard you on the phone
you took his number
said you weren’t alone
but you’d call him soon
isn’t he the guy
the guy who left you crying
isn’t he the one
who made you blue…oooh
when you remember those nights in his arms
you know you got to make up your mind

Chorus:
are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
or are you going back to the one you love
someone’s gonna cry when they know they lost you
someone’s gonna thank the stars above

what you gonna say
when he comes over
there’s no easy way to see this through
all the broken dreams
all the disappointment
oh girl…whatcha gonna do?
Your heart keeps sayin it’s just not fair
but still you gotta make up your mind

chorus

———————————-

Why does it have to be so complicated? And for once, why can’t I just have who I want?

*sigh*

I'm just a girl X 4

I might be a little, concerned with my hair.

I might need comfort, more than my share,

I might seem to follow fashion, but claim that I don't care.

My heart is your best friend, when it rules my head.

I might wanna talk alot, don't ask me why,

And I'll get impatient, if you don't reply.

I might always search for something wrong, I want you to deny,

And if you love me, just stay close, and hold me when I cry.

CHORUS:

Don't try to understand me,

I'm just a girl.

One of the greatest mysteries,

You'll find in this world.

I'm not hard to handle,

I'm just a girl X 2.

I don't seek money, but I want your time,

'Cause I'd give my life for you, when you are mine.

And it hurts me more than I can say, when you pull away,

But if you love me, you should tell me everyday

CHORUS:

Don't try to understand me

I'm just a girl

One of the greatest mysteries

You'll find in this world

I'm not hard to handle

I'm just a girl X 5

You might think I'm too demanding

But you're just not understanding, no

I might like to take advice, but go my own way

And it's when I hurt the most, i swear i'm ok.

And it's always when you least expect, I say i wanna stay

It might take just a single kiss, to steal my heart away

CHORUS:

Don't try to understand me

I'm just a girl

One of the greatest mysteries

You'll find in this world

You Think I'm an X-file

But I'm just a girl X 2

CHORUS:

Don't try to understand me

I'm just a girl

One of the greatest mysteries

You'll find in this world

I'm not hard to handle

I'm just a girl X 6

[Verse 1:] 

Story of my life

Searching for the right

But it keeps avoiding me

Sorrow in my soul

Cause it seems that wrong

Really loves my company

He's more than a man 

And this is more than love

The reason that the sky is blue

But clouds are rolling in

Because I'm gone again

And to him I just can't be true

[Hook:] 

And I know that he knows I'm unfaithful

And it kills him inside

To know that I am happy with some other guy

I can see him dying

[Chorus:] 

I don't wanna do this anymore 

I don't wanna be the reason why 

Everytime I walk out the door 

I see him die a little more inside 

I don't wanna hurt him anymore 

I don't wanna take away his life 

I don't wanna be.... a murderer 

[Verse 2:] 

I feel it in the air

As I'm doing my hair

Preparing for another date

A kiss up on my cheek

He's here reluctantly

As if I'm gonna be out late

I say I won't be long

Just hanging with the girls

A lie I didn't have to tell

Because we both know

Where I'm about to go

And we know it very well

[Hook:] 

Cause I know that he knows I'm unfaithful

And it kills him inside

To know that I am happy with some other guy

I can see him dying

[Chorus:] 

I don't wanna do this anymore 

I don't wanna be the reason why 

Everytime I walk out the door 

I see him die a little more inside 

I don't wanna hurt him anymore 

I don't wanna take away his life 

I don't wanna be.... a murderer

[Breakdown:] 

Our Love... his trust

I might as well take a gun and put it to his head

Get it over with

I don't wanna do this

Anymore (anymore)

 

Oooohhh... anymore 

[Chorus:] 

I don't wanna do this anymore

I don't wanna be the reason why

And everytime I walk out the door

I see him die a little more inside

I don't wanna hurt him anymore

I don't wanna take away his life

I don't wanna be.... a murderer

Ooo... a murderer... 

No, no, no... yeah

Herbie played this song while we were still waiting for calls, ’twas a weekend shift and as always it’d be low call volume if we’re not moved to Consumer. I’ve fallen in love with and I can’t get it outta my head. Here’s Apologize from One Republic.

I’m holding on your rope 

Got me ten feet off the ground 

And I’m hearing what you say 

But I just can’t make a sound 

You tell me that you need me 

Then you go and cut me down 

But wait... 

You tell me that you’re sorry 

Didn’t think I’d turn around and say.. 

That it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late 

I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late 

I’d take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you 

And I need you like a heart needs a beat 

(But that's nothing new) 

Yeah yeah 

I loved you with a fire red, now it’s turning blue 

And you say 

Sorry like the angel heaven let me think was you 

But I’m afraid 

It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late 

I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late 

Woahooo woah 

It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late 

I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late 

I said it’s too late to apologize, yeah yeah 

I said it’s too late to apologize, a yeah 

I’m holding on your rope 

Got me ten feet off the ground...

Kiss The Rain - Billie Myers

Hello
Can you hear me?
Am I gettin’ through to you?

Hello
Is it late there?
There’s a laughter on the line
Are you sure you’re there alone?

‘Cause I’m
Trying to explain
Something’s wrong
You just don’t sound the same

Why don’t you
Why don’t you
Go outside
Go outside

Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I’m gone, too long.

If your lips
Feel lonely and thirsty
Kiss the rain
And wait for the dawn.

Keep in mind
We’re under the same sky
And the nights
as empty for me, as for you
If you feel
You can’t wait till morning
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain

Hello
Do you miss me?
I hear you say you do
But not the way I’m missing you

What’s new?
How’s the weather?
Is it stormy where you are?
You sound so close but it feels
like you’re so far
Oh would it mean anything
If you knew
What I’m left imagining
In my mind
In my mind
Would you go
Would you go
Kiss the rain

And you’d fall over me
Think of me
Think of me
Think of me
Only me
Kiss the rain
Whenever you need me
Kiss the rain
Whenever I’m gone too long
If your lips
Feel lonely and tempted
Kiss the rain
and wait for the dawn

Keep in mind
We’re under the same sky
And the nights
As empty for me, as for you

If you feel
You can’t wait till morning

Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Kiss the rain
Oooooohhhhh
Kiss the rain
Oooooohhhhh
Kiss the rain

Hello
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
