Vivid Memories

I had a moment today. I was out of the office, going from jobsite to jobsite, sitting in traffic just listening to the radio. A song came along. Not just any song, one that was filled with happy memories that have since turned sad. Memories of friendship and laughter that have long since died. This happens to me a lot. It's not always sad memories, but songs stick out to me and certain ones leave a lasting impression on my soul. When I listen to them I am instantly returned to that time and re-live each moment with vivid clarity. Some of them tend to come out in the form of tears, whether happy tears or sad. This is when I realized that I do a lot of thinking on the road. My commute to work is a minimum of 45 minutes each direction. That's a long time to sit and reflect. Reflect on the day, the month, the year. Any memory that may flood into my brain at any given time. That's when I realized that my little silver friend has seen me through many times. She has seen all the tears, some of the fights, heard every story. She hears my prayers that I send to God, or to up to heaven to my dad. I have many moments during these times. I sing, I dance, I laugh, I cry, but mostly I use the time to reflect. I think about everything that has happened in my life and I dream about the future to come. I can't explain why songs seem to have this affect on me. They truly make me very contemplative.

I had a talk with the hubby the other day. We have seriously been considering uprooting our lives and moving out of state for a change of pace. It's something that has been on our minds a lot the past couple of years, but in the last six months or so have seriously considered. If he would have asked me two years ago, I would have said absolutely not....now the answer is yes, but give me a yearish. I guess the idea of leaving everything I know, and all my family is scary. Then I think to myself, if I ever need them all I would have to do is put on a song and be taken back with them. My emotions tend to ebb and flow like the ocean. I am re-missed to believe that I am back in an ebb state. Feeling a little insecure, and lonely. Lives are changing all around me and I so desperately wish that my dream will come true soon. To give my husband all that he dreams of having. When I am feeling this way, all I have to do is put on a song and have him hold me in his arms. Gently rocking back and forth, moving to the sound of the music. Feeling his strong embrace around me, and it makes me feel better. Knowing that I am not alone, that someone truly understands me and loves me.

I know I am not alone in these feelings. Also that songs can trigger many memories. I guess that's why it's the most powerful form of art that we can use to express ourselves. Please take a listen to the playlist below to hear a handful of the songs that have triggered a memory over the last week or so. Some have been so powerful that I was silent for several minutes after the song ended. It just had me wondering, where do you all do your thinking?

Memories can be very powerful, especially on a day like today. I would like to take the time today to remember all those who lost their lives on this day twelve years ago, and thank all the hero's that have come since to help protect our freedom. Without each other we would have nothing. All I can say is a heartfelt Thank You. Always remember!

It's Thursday so I'm offering up some new tunes!

I haven't done a favorite's music post in a while. I love my XM radio and The Highway station because they always provide me with new artists that I may not have heard from. Lately they have been playing a band called The Civil Wars, and I really really LOVE them. While perusing the internet I discovered I had already heard a song from them and now think I need to widdle my little fingers over to Itunes and hit download on their Barton Hollow album. Please enjoy the two songs that have me all up in arms! I think you'll enjoy!

Mixtapes and Memories - Tuesday Topics

via

Music is my life's soul brought out into the world. I love music so much and most of the time it relates to my life in one way or another. I have said in the past that my brain is 70% song lyrics and the rest is filed away neatly in the other 30%. So when this weeks Tuesday Topics came about I really had to think about which five songs bring back the most memories.

#1. Chantal Kreviazuk - Feels Like Home
The first time I heard this D and I went out on a date to see How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. We fell in love with song and it has been "our" song ever since....it was our first dance song at our wedding and every month or so we play it loud and slow dance to it!



2 Smashing Pumpkins - 1979
It is my quintessential jr. high/high school song. I don't remember when I bought it, but it was the very first cd that I bought with my own money. Double album of rock greatness "Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness." I can listen to this song over and over and will not get old. The beat and the lyrics are just all around perfect!



#3 Billy Rae Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart
Please don't judge me for this song. My mom had this tape (yes tape) and we played this song over and OVER every time we were in the car singing the lyrics loud and proud for all the other drivers to hear. We didn't care and did it with many other songs. This one is the funniest one though. I still sing loud and proud in the car for ALL to hear!



#4 Grease Soundtrack - Summer Nights
This is D's and my go to karaoke song. He knows every word to this song!!!! Probably because it's his mom's favorite movie. It's always fun for us to sing this as the example pictured below!

#5 Legally Blonde Soundtrack - Hoku "It's a Perfect Day"
If you remember back in April when I wrote this post about my best friend from high school. I talked about him falling asleep on his dvd remote and having to listen to the Legally Blonde intro song over and over for hours! This is that song! Good song, but not over and over!


There you have it. Five songs that bring back some really great memories for me. I hope you all love music as much as I do and these songs can make memories for you too!

A Special Piece of Art

Ok, so I was conflicted on whether or not I should post this on the blog.....but then I thought, "I post about everything else" so here we go. In all my years as a legal adult I had always wanted a tattoo. I had bounced back and forth with ideas and eventually I just said forget it. If I changed my mind that much about it then I would regret having something permanently on my body.....FOREVER. So I waited. Until 2011, when my dad passed and the thought was re-ignited in my body. I knew that I wanted something for him and it would have to do with music....but really didn't want your typical run of the mill tattoo. So I waited some more. Batting ideas back and forth. Bouncing them off the hubby who gave me his input on every one. He encouraged me from day one! In 2012 I was perusing the internet and I saw a sketch of a songbird, but the body was made up of music notes and the stave. It immediately stole my heart. I knew I wanted to include some words in it, but really didn't want to take away from the tattoo, so I stewed some more. People this was a process.....I didn't just want to jump into it. So, about 6 weeks ago, I sent the sketch and all my ideas to the artist. 30 minutes later I had an email and a revised sketch of the art, and I burst into tears. It was perfect.....now to incorporate colors. I wanted it to be feminine and not solidly filled in. So I printed out the sketch, took my colored pencils and played with shading and coloring until I came up with a scheme that I loved. With the appointment looming, I started to get super nervous about the pain......how bad was it going to be?

The day of the appointment I was completely panicked! I was so afraid of the pain, and it didn't help that I was asking EVERYONE I knew about it. Everyone I have talked to (after the fact) said that I picked one of the worst places to put a tattoo. On my ribcage. An area that rarely sees light, or rubbing. Nadda. I guess that means its the best place for longevity too! I arrive after dinner with the hubby in tote. He was so excited, smiling, asking me if I was excited!! NO! I was a wreck! The artist was really nice, and saw how nervous I was so he just kept cracking jokes. He put on the transfer, got his equipment ready and I lied down in preparation. I grabbed my hubby's hand and squeezed it the entire time, the whole 30 minutes it took to do the piece. I'm not gonna lie, it was painful, but not unbearable. Not bad enough to warrant crying or screaming, but beforehand I did ask D to talk to me during to keep my mind occupied, but once underway he asked me a question while the artist was going on a pass, and I just asked him to not talk to me, just talk to those in the studio. In between I was fine, but with the needle to the skin, I was channeling my inner ohm and maintaining my calm. It was worse when he was going directly over my ribcage, but honestly....the pain was totally worth it! I love it so much and am glad I picked what I did. It's something I know that I won't ever tire of or regret because it's a memorial tattoo. It got several meanings to me. #1 the bird signifies the souls release into the spirit world and the freedom to be anywhere, anytime....the bird also signifies love in the tattoo world. #2 the music notes are something that he and I shared a passion for, we both love music. #3 His initials at the base of the body, near the feet. #4 "I love you to bits" is a family saying, something that we always say to one another. Also, I can add to it, with other initials or other things because its open ended! #5 the location is on my left ribcage, closest to my heart.

I know that there is still a stigma on tattoos, but honestly I think they are beautiful. It's a perfect way to showcase your love, and keep it with you forever. A quote has been circulating around Facebook and my inner circle "Tattoos have a power and magic all their own. They decorate the body, but they also enhance the soul." Do you have any tattoos that have special meaning to you? If you don't have any do you have thoughts of getting any?

"Better Dig Two"

So I fell in love with The Band Perry when their debut album came out last year. I played "If I Die Young" on repeat for ages. Well when they debuted their new single at the CMA's it was the same thing. I loved it the moment the first chord on that banjo and moody fiddle playing. I broke down and downloaded the single last night and listened to it about 10 times over the course of two hours. IN LOVE! Enjoy!


I told you on the day we wed
I was gonna love you 'til I's dead
Made you wait 'til our wedding night
That's the first and the last time I wear white

So if the ties that bind ever do come loose
Tie them in a knot like a hangman's noose
Cause I'll go to heaven or I'll go to hell
Before I'll see you with someone else

Put me in the ground
Put me six foot down
And let the stone say:
"Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Was loving one man just a little too much"
If you go before I do
I'm gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two

Well,
It won't be whiskey, won't be meth
It'll be your name on my last breath
If divorce or death ever do us part
The coroner will call it a broken heart

So put me in the ground
Put me six foot down
And let the stone say:
"Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Was loving one man just a little too much"
If you go before I do
I'm gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two

Dig two
Ooh, ooh
I took your name when I took those vows
I meant 'em back then and I mean 'em right now,
Oh, right now

If the ties that bind ever do come loose
If forever ever ends for you
If that ring gets a little too tight
You might as well read me my last rights
And let the stone say:
"Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Was loving one man just a little too much"
If you go before I do
Gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig, uh!

Heavy stone right next to mine,
We'll be together 'til the end of time
Don't you go before I do,
I'm gonna tell the grave digger that he better dig two

I told you on the day we wed
I was gonna love you 'til I's dead

Tornado's are invading my radio

Ok I haven't done a post about music in a while, so I thought I would give you my 2 favorite country songs right now. Coincidentally they are both about tornado's. Dark, moody and full of angst. Just the way I like it! Great beats! Enjoy!

"Tornado" - Little Big Town
 

"Blown Away" - Carrie Underwood

"Feels Like Home"

In honor of our 5th wedding anniversary that is this Saturday, I am reminding my followers of the wonderful song that we danced our first dance too. It still brings tears to my eyes! Thinking about our beautiful day, and marrying my best friend!

"Feels Like Home" - Chantal Kreviazuk 

Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself 

Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms 

There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat fast 

Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life 

If you knew how lonely my life has been 

And how long I've been so alone 

And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along 

And change my life the way you've done 

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me 

It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from 

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me 

It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong 

A window breaks, down a long, dark street 

And a siren wails in the night 

But I'm alright, 'cause I have you here with me 

And I can almost see, through the dark there is light 

 Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me 

And how long I've waited for your touch 

And if you knew how happy you are making me 

I never thought that I'd love anyone so much 

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me 

It feels like I'm all the way the back where I come from 

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me 

It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong 

It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

"Trojans"

A little pop rock for today!

"Trojans" - Atlas Genius

Take it off
Take it in
Take off all the thoughts of what we've been
Take a look
Hesitate
Take a picture you could never recreate

Write a song
Make a note
For the lump that sits inside your throat
Change the locks, change the scene
Change it all but can't change what we've been

Your trojan's in my head x3

It's ok if it's gone
The thoughts that you had that it was the one
And oh what is left?
For all those times is that what you get?
Oh regardless
The walls get painted anyway
Oh you're guarding
The gates, but it all got away

Your trojan's in my head x6

Take it off
Take it in
Take off all the thoughts of what we've been
Take a look
Hesitate
Take a picture you could never recreate
Write a song
Make a note
For the lump that sits inside your throat
Change the locks, change the scene
Change it all but can't change what we've been

Your trojan's in my head x5

Take it off
Take it in
Off all the thoughts of what we've been
Take off all the thoughts of what we've been

To the one I love

I just wanted to take some time today to express how much I truly love the man in my life. My husband is the best guy I could have ever asked for. He truly loves me, the good and the bad (hopefully more good) as much as anyone could ask for. He puts up with my crazy crafting ideas, my o.c.d. and my sometimes silly nature. The moods (which lets face it, I'm a woman) and mood swings. No matter how bad my day went, or if I feel tired, worn out and grouchy...he tries to put me in a better mood and usually succeeds with his silly faces and voices. As we approach our 5 year wedding anniversary I can't help but get nostalgic and think about all the memories we have encountered in our past, and the many memories that have yet to come our way. I look forward to every new chapter in our lives, and give thanks everyday that you came into my life. As you know, I find expression more through songs than in any other art form. I dedicate a new song to my love and I hope he knows whenever I hear it, my thoughts go directly to him!

I love you Babie!

You know I'd fall apart without you
I don't know how you do what you do
'Cause everything that don't make sense about me
Makes sense when I'm with you
Like everything that's green, girl I need you
But it's more than one and one makes two
Put aside the math and the logic of it
You gotta know you're wanted too

'Cause I wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
Never let you forget it
Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted

Anyone can tell you you're pretty
(Yeah)
You get that all the time, I know you do
But your beauty's deeper than the makeup
And I wanna show you what I see tonight

When I wrap you up
When I kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
Never let you forget it
'Cause baby I wanna make you feel wanted

As good as you make me feel
I wanna make you feel better
Better than your fairy tales
Better than your best dreams
You're more than everything I need
You're all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted

And I just wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
Never let you forget it
Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted
Yeah, baby I wanna make you feel -
Wanted
'Cause you'll always be wanted 

"Cowboys and Angels"

Ok, So I kind of fizzled out on my music posts. I don't know why. They are easy peasy posts. So, We are changing that. So....here we go with my weekly favorite song! This is one of my new favs! Makes me swoon every time I hear it! Enjoy!

"Cowboys and Angels" - Dustin Lynch

There's a want and there's a need
There's a history between
Girls like her and guys like me
Cowboys and angels
I've got boots and she's got wings
I'm hell on wheels and she's heavenly
I'd die for her and she lives for me
Cowboys and angels
 

We ride side by side
A cloud of dust, a ray of light
My touch is her temptation
Her kiss is my salvation
She's sweet, I'm wild, we're dangerous
Cowboys and angels

I'm not sure why her path crossed mine
Accident or grand design
Maybe God just kinda likes
Cowboys and angels

We ride side by side
A cloud of dust, a ray of light
My touch is her temptation
Her kiss is my salvation
She's sweet, I'm wild, we're dangerous
Cowboys and angels

There's a want and there's a need
There's a history between
Girls like you and guys like me
Cowboys and angels

Come Undone

As I was sitting at my desk editing photos today, I heard a little music coming from the office down the hall. It immediately brought me back in time and I started singing and stated "Oh my goodness! I haven't heard this song in forever. I wandered in to the office to ask who sings it, and the response was "Duran Duran duh!" I felt really stupid, but then I went and checked at when the song was released. Ready to feel old......March of 1993. I was nine! Anyways I thought that I would share a little blast from the past!

Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin
I've been waiting for you
Signed, with a home tattoo,
Happy birthday to you was created for you

(can not forgive from falling apart at the seams
Can not believe you're taking my heart to pieces)

Oh, it'll take a little time,
Might take a little crime
To come undone now

We'll try to stay blind
To the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me into cry

Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone?
Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone?

Words, playing me deja vu
Like a radio tune I swear I've heard before
Chill, is it something real
Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers?

(can not forgive from falling apart at the seams
Can not believe you're taking my heart to pieces)

Lost, in a snow filled sky,
we'll make it alright
To come undone now

(can not forgive from falling apart)
Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone?
(can not forgive from falling apart)
Who do you need, who do you love?
(can not forgive from falling apart)
Who do you love
When you come undone?
(can not forgive from falling apart) 

Oldie but a Goodie - You're So Vain

Ok, so this one is far before my time, but it is still one of the classics. D and I have been watching the Nip/Tuck series and it has some great music. One episode had this song in it and it reminded me of one of my favorite movies How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.

Andie - 'Ben Barry, you're so vain. So, so vain. You probably think this song is about you. Don't you? Don't you?'
Thatcher - 'Tone deaf and drunk is not a good combination.'
Andie - 'No, you-you fooled me to win a bet...'
Ben - 'Look, you took me to a goddamn Celine Dion concert.You made me miss the big game!'
Andie - 'Oh, smart guy's a rhymer.'

Anywoo....here is it. Carly Simon in her prime!

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and....

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair
and that you would never leave

But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee and....

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you.....

Well I hear you went up to Saratoga and your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia to see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you're where you should be all of the time
And when you're not you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and....

You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you.....

Galway Girl

In honor of St. Patrick's Day we are attending a Masquerade birthday party. I am excited to make both of us up! But until then, please enjoy a little Irish song for you to make your day a little more joyous!

Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk 

Of a day -I-ay-I-ay 

I met a little girl and we stopped to talk 

Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay 

And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do 

'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue 

And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl 

'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

We were halfway there when the rain came down 

Of a day -I-ay-I-ay 

And she asked me up to her flat downtown 

Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay 

And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do 

'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue 

So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl 

And I lost my heart to a Galway girl 

When I woke up I was all alone 

With a broken heart and a ticket home 

And I ask you now, tell me what would you do 

If her hair was black and her eyes were blue 

I've traveled around I've been all over this world 

Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl

Somebody....Gotye

 Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
And you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody
(I used to know)
Somebody
(Now you're just somebody that I used to know)

(I used to know)
(That I used to know)
(I used to know)
Somebody

Siriusly!

Ok. Some of my loyal followers already know this, but I LOVE music! I mean I think my brain is 70% song lyrics, 25% design and craft stuff, and 5% everything else. With a father that sang and played guitar, and me dabbling in piano and guitar, it kinda makes sense. Most days I can't get through my drive to and from work without listening to the radio. (Some days I just need the silence) It would come as no surprise to you either that I worked in a music store for 4 years too. It was like a 00's version of Empire Records, without the sex, famous musicians and stealing of course.

For Christmas the hubbs got me an XM radio and service for my car. I must tell you, how I survived so long with FM radio I will never know! I mean in the valley of "good luck getting radio reception for longer than 2 miles" this thing is a godsend! No static and I can listen to the same channel forever! It is also helping me get introduced to new groups and songs because I am not constantly switching stations to find one without commercials or one that comes in clear! Not only am I listening to new pop music, but The Highway (the xm top country station) is my new favorite and have really gotten down to my country roots. Just thought I would share a couple of my favorite songs on the charts at this moment.

Pop:
THE WANTED -- GLAD YOU CAME
THE DOWNTOWN FICTION -- THANKS FOR NOTHING
HOT CHELLE RAE -- I LIKE IT LIKE THAT
FUN. -- WE ARE YOUNG
BREATHE CAROLINA -- BLACKOUT
ONE DIRECTION -- WHAT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL
CHRISTINA PERRY -- A THOUSAND YEARS
GOTYE -- SOMEBODY I USED TO KNOW
(Mostly rock bands I know.....but hey its what draws to me)

Country:
CHRIS YOUNG -- YOU
HUNTER HAYES -- STORM WARNING
TAYLOR SWIFT -- OURS
DAVID NAIL -- LET IT RAIN
LADY ANTEBELLUM -- WE OWN THE NIGHT
GREEN RIVER ORDINANCE -- DANCING SHOES
KEITH URBAN -- YOU GONNA FLY

So there it is. A list of some of my favorite songs floating out there at this time. I am always open to suggestions so send 'em my way! :-)

Someone Like You

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Yeah.

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday it was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over, yeah.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.

Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
"I'll remember", you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead.

Feeling a little melancholy today and trying to help so I figured I would post this song cause it's just so beautiful. Everybody has their moment's of what ifs? and this is how she describes hers. Such a talent and a voice! Enjoy!

Unchained Melody

While perusing my cd's the other day I came across a song that I had forgotten about. One of my favorites and also from one of my favorite movies too. Enjoy this blast from the past.

Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time,
Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much.
Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, 'Wait for me, wait for me'
'I'll be coming home, wait for me!'

Are you still mine?
I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me

"Drive"

Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much I'll let the fear
Take the wheel and steer

It's driven me before and seems to have a vague
Haunting mass appeal
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
Should be the one behind the wheel

Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes yea
Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there I'll be there

So, if I decide to waiver my chance
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/i/incubus-lyrics/drive-lyrics.html ]
To be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine
And hold my own and drive?
Aah ah ooo

It's driven me before and it seems to be the way
That everyone else gets around
But lately I'm beginning to find that when
I drive myself my light is found

Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes yea
Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there I'll be there

Would you choose water over wine?
Hold the wheel and drive

Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes yea
Whatever tomorrow brings
I'll be there I'll be there

"Destiny"

I lie awake
I've gone to ground
I'm watching porn
In my hotel dressing gown
Now I dream of you
But I still believe
There's only enough for one in this
Lonely hotel suite

The journey's long
And it feels so bad
I'm thinking back to the last day we had.
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
I'm nearly with you

When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny

On a clear day
I'll fly home to you
I'm bending time getting back to you
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
I'm nearly with you

When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny

When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny

I'll fly, I'll fly home
I'll fly home and I'll fly home

"One Thing"

Restless tonight

Cause I wasted the light

Between both these times

I drew a really thin line

It’s nothing I planned

And not that I can

But you should be mine

Across that line

If I traded it all

If I gave it all away for one thing

Just for one thing

If I sorted it out

If I knew all about this one thing

Wouldn’t that be something

I promise I might

Not walk on by

Maybe next time

But not this time

Even though I know

I don’t want to know

Yeah I guess I know

I just hate how it sounds

Even though I know

I don’t want to know

Yeah I guess I know

I just hate how it sounds

Even though I know

I don’t want to know

Yeah I guess I know

I just hate how it sounds
