A lyric that describes the current state of your life- Page 3

...and another:

Well I woke up this morning stumbled out of my rack
I opened up the paper to the page in the back
It only took a minute for my finger to find
My daily dose of destiny, under my sign
My eyes just about popped out of my head
It said "the stars are stacked against you girl, get back in bed"

I feel lucky, I feel lucky, yeah
No Professor Doom gonna stand in my way
Mmmmm, I feel lucky today

Well I strolled down to the corner, gave my numbers to the clerk
The pot's eleven million so I called in sick to work
I bought a pack of Camels, a burrito and a Barq's
Crossed against the light, made a beeline for the park
The sky began to thunder, wind began to moan
I heard a voice above me saying, "girl, you better get back home"

But I feel lucky, oh oh oh, I feel lucky, yeah
No tropical depression gonna steal my sun away
Mmmmm, I feel lucky today

Now eleven million later, I was sitting at the bar
I'd bought the house a double, and the waitress a new car
Dwight Yoakam's in the corner, trying to catch my eye
Lyle Lovett's right beside me with his hand upon my thigh
The moral of this story, it's simple but it's true
Hey the stars might lie, but the numbers never do

I feel lucky, oh oh oh, I feel lucky, yeah
Hey Dwight, hey Lyle, boys, you don't have to fight
Hot dog, I'm feeling lucky tonight

I feel lucky, brrrrr, I feel lucky, yeah
Think I'll flip a coin, I'm a winner either way
Mmmmmm, I feel lucky today

Out of Reach

Knew the signs
Wasn't right
I was stupid for a while
Swept away by you
And now I feel like a fool
So confused,
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?

Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn't see
We were never
Meant to be

Catch myself
From despair
I could drown
If I stay here
Keeping busy everyday
I know I will be OK

But I was
So confused,
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?

Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn't see
We were never
Meant to be

So much hurt,
So much pain
Takes a while
To regain
What is lost inside
And I hope that in time,
You'll be out of my mind
And I'll be over you

But now I'm
So confused,
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you?

Out of reach,
So far
I never had your heart
Out of reach,
Couldn't see
We were never
Meant to be

Out of reach,
So far
You never gave your heart
In my reach, I can see
There's a life out there
For me

In fact, Addy, you had me stumped for a few minutes, but I got one.

Been one tough week, dead on my feet
But, I've made plans for tonight
When I'm feeling blue, know just what to do
And how to make it right
Seems like I've needed this forever
Gonna have myself a night to remember

Dim the lights, lock the door, spread your pictures
On the floor, throw the dust off of our past let it
All come floodin' back, cause' it ain't easy being
Strong and when I can't forget your gone I just
Surrender, and have myself a night to remember.

Sad ain't my style but once in a while
I just have to give in
'Cause a woman like you, is so hard to lose
You just don't want it to end
I know this can't go on forever
So tonight I'll have a night to remember

Dim the lights, lock the door, spread your pictures
On the floor, throw the dust off of our past let it
All come floodin' back, cause' it ain't easy being
Strong and when I can't forget your gone I just
Surrender, and have myself a night to remember.

Oh it ain't easy being strong and when I can't
Forget your gone I'll just surrender and have
Myself a night to remember

I will not be the girl stuck at home in the burbs
with the baby the dog and the garden of herbs
I will not be the girl in the sensible shoes
pushing burgers and beer nuts and missing the clues
I will not be the girl who gets asked how it feels
to be trotting along at the genious heels
I will not be the girl who requires a man to get by


or

I may be small
but I got giant plans to SHINE as brightly as the sun
I will blaze until I find my time and place
I will be fearless, surrenduring modesty and grace
I will not disappear without a trace
I'll shout and start a riot
be anything but quiet......

ASTONISHING, at last :)

There are ones that fit better for this week, but those are always theme songs for me :)

This is quite a collection of songs...

which makes me think of this one:

Do the walls come down
When you think of me
Do your eyes grow dim
Do the walls come down
When you think of me
Do you let me in

Nothing like a rainy night
To set your heart rememberin'
Nothing like a vivid dream
To take you back again

When you think of me
Do your eyes grow dim
Do the walls come down
When you think of me
Do you let me in

Something in my pocket
That was written years ago
In faded ink says, "You are my fire"
Do you think so...

Is it easier for you to say
You never loved me anyway
Or do you hide me in your attic trunk
Like a stowaway?

Do the walls come down
When you think of me
Do your eyes grow dim
Do the walls come down
When you think of me
Do you let me in.....

"Perpetual anticipation
Is good for the soul
But it's bad for the heart."

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't


I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason.

[NYadgal]

Posted: 12/28/05 at 7:33pm

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 12/28/05 at 7:36pm

Addy, that is one of the songs that people make me sing.

[NYadgal]

Posted: 12/28/05 at 7:38pm

Which one, Turn Down the Lights or For Good?

Both are beautiful...

Turn Down the Lights hits pretty close to home right now. *sigh*

[shameless]

Posted: 12/28/05 at 7:38pm

Addy, don't even get me started on sad songs.


Tell me when I can open my eyes
I don't want to watch you walk out that door
There's no easy way to get through goodbye
I'd probably try and talk you into staying once more

Or I'd lie and say it's all for the best
Wish you luck and say I have no regrets
But I'm not up to being strong
So I'll wait until you're gone
Is it over yet, is it over yet?

A taxi's waiting in the driveway for you
You call my name, I guess your ready to leave
I'd like to help you with a suitcase or two
But I'm afraid I'm gonna wind up down on my knees

I should tell you that I want you to go
I really need to spend some time on my own
Smile and say goodbye
So you don't see me dying inside
Is it over yet, is it over yet?

I should lie and say it's all for the best
Wish you luck and say I have no regrets
But I'm not up to being strong
So I'll wait until your gone
Is it over yet, is it over yet?

Turn Down The Lights - or, it's actual title, I Can't Make You Love Me.

[NYadgal]

Posted: 12/28/05 at 7:43pm

I think it's become my theme song...

Here's another. Gotta love country for the sad songs. (Just change the gender references...)

I should have told her more I love her
I should've spent more time at home
But should haves really aren't important
Since the fact is, now she's gone
I wish I'd listened to my conscience
When it said, "Don't let her go"
And if she's wonderin' how I'm doing
Well, I think she ought to know
That I find myself praying
More than I've ever did before
And now I find my heart is breaking
Each time her memory slams the door
And I find myself crying
And trying to hold on
Cause there ain't nothing short of dying
That's worse than being left alone

[Rathnait62]

Posted: 12/28/05 at 7:45pm

Honey, you're talking to me????

[shameless]

Posted: 12/28/05 at 7:51pm

Here's one for both of you. I hope you're not standing by open windows.

She might be
Living in Dallas
Or Denver, Colorado
I know she likes it cold
She might have packed and moved back
To Alabama
There's no tellin' where she is
But there's one thing I know
Chorus:
She's a whole lotta gone
And we're a whole lotta through
How can I hold on
When there's nothing to hold on to
There's a whole lotta difference
Between love and alone
And when you add up the distance
She's a whole lotta gone
Well I was wrong
And I admit it
I took a lot for granted
Just a little at a time
But I still can't believe
She went and did it
At night I dream
Where she might be
Just to wake up and find
(Chorus)
I know she ain't comin' back
That's just the way it is
Say it any way you want
But it comes right down to this
(Chorus)
When you add up the distance
She's a whole lotta gone
She's a whole lotta gone

I don't think I can get any more depressed... so, in a strange way, this is cheering me up!
