Beautiful Old Song

Nov 14, 2005 18:26

The words had all been spoken
 And somehow the feeling still wasn't right
And still we continued on through the night
 Tracing our steps from the beginning
Until they vanished into the air
 Trying to understand how our lives has led us there
 Looking hard into your eyes There was nobody I'd ever known
 Such an empty surprise to feel so alone
 Now for me some words come easy
 But I know that they don't mean that much
 Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch
You never knew what I loved in you
 I don't know what you loved in me
 Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be
Awake again I can't pretend and I know I'm alone
 And close to the end of the feeling we've known
How long have I been sleeping
How long have I been drifting alone through the night
 How long have I been dreaming I could make it right
 If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might
To be the one you need
Awake again I can't pretend and I know I'm alone
 And close to the end of the feeling we've known
How long have I been sleeping
How long have I been drifting alone through the night
 How long have I been running for that morning flight
Through the whispered promises and the changing light
 Of the bed where we both lie
Late for the sky

This song is an old song by Jackson Browne. It rules. It really sad, and just about how one day you'll look at the person you are with and not see them anymore, and then it's just over. No fun.I  bolded my favorite two lines in the whoooooooooooooooole thing. I am sure that when Gerard breaks my heart, I will listen to it and cry and eat a lot of chicken fingers. Until then, I am content to hug him and love him and have him pick me up from work! Lastnight Meesh, Kel and I watched Cinderella.....the sweetest story ever told. Oh well, I guess I better get back to working hard at the ole front desk here!!!!!!!
