(no subject)
i've been listening to ben folds five's TUBORM a lot lately, and two songs that i have always loved have had new signifigance to me.
Sometimes I get the feeling
That I won't be on this planet for very long
I really like it here
I'm quite attached to it; I hope I'm wrong
All I really want to say
You're the reason I want to stay
I loved you before I met you
And I met you just in time
Because there was nothing left
I sat here on my suitcase
In our empty new apartment
'til the sun went down
And I walked back down the stairs
With all my bags and drove away
You must be freaking out
All I know is I got to be
Where my heart says I ought to be
It often makes no sense, in fact
I never understand these things I feel
Don't change your plans for me
I won't move to LA
The leaves are falling back east
That's where I'm going to stay
You have made me smile again
In fact I might be sore from it
It's been awhile
I know we've been together
Many times before
I'll see you on the other side
Don't change your plans for me
I won't move to LA
The leaves are falling back east
That's where I'm going to stay
All I really want to say
You're the reason I want to stay
But destiny is calling
And I told them when my time is up
I'm out of here
All I know is I got to be
Where my heart says I ought to be
It often makes no sense, in fact
I never understand these things I feel
I love you, good bye
I love you, good bye
also:
from the back of your big brown eyes
i knew you'd be gone as soon as you could
and i hoped you would
we could see that you weren't yourself
and the lines on your face did tell
it's just as well
you'd never be yourself again
saw you last night
dance by the light of the moon
stars in your eyes
free from the life that you knew
you're the magic that holds the sky up from the ground
you're the breath that blows these cool winds 'round
trading places with an angel now
saw you last night
dance by the light of the moon
stars in your eyes
free from the life that you knew
saw you last night
stars in your eyes
smiled in my room
