can anyone hear me
Barenaked Ladies- "Testing 1,2,3"
Maybe it would be fun
To get a new opinion
Get a little work done
And forget
Maybe it would be cool
If I rocked it old school
Try to break a gold rule
And a sweat
Better than the first time
Better than the worst time
If I could just reverse time
I'd be set
Testing 1,2,3
Can anybody hear me?
If I shed the irony
Would anybody cheer me?
If I acted less like me
Would I be in the clear?
She got a new apartment
It's out on the escarpment
And in her glove compartment
Are my songs
She hasn't even heard them
Since she found out what the words meant
She decided she preferred them
All wrong
Kind of like the last time
With a bunch of really fast times
If we're living in the past time
Soon gone
We recognize the present
Is half as pleasant
As our nostalgia for
The past'll be presented
Recast and reinvented
Until it's how we meant it
He's everything that you need
You wiped out on your ten speed
And either he will succeed
Or just suck
Begin the...
Would I be in the clear, G?
Testing 1,2,3
Testing 1,2,3
I heard this when I was watching the NHL All-Star game. Cool deal, huh? But yea that part:

Blah, I hate having lyrics that depict what I'm feeling. It makes me feel so... I dunno... I guess just fake. Like there's probably a million other people who are saying that this same song depicts the way they are feeling. But, to hell with the other people who are stealing my "feeling song" I'm going to ramble on anyway. So, the real question is: "Can anybody hear me?" It really sucks to be ignored. By friends, strangers, accuantances, it doesn't matter; it still hurts to be ignored. It especailly hurts when it is your friends, but what can you do? "If I acted less like me?" would it help? WOuld people finally listen to me if I changes who I am and the things I say? I see that this is going to get emotional, so I'll spare you the drama and just stop now. Sorry for wasting your time.
Ciao
