I Can Relate To This

A little too much actually, but then again, I've always said that Elvis Costello could write the story of my life just using his own song lyrics.

This song in particular is like a page out of my diary...or a post on my blog...

Just About Glad - Elvis Costello

I'm just about glad that I knew you once
And it was more than just a passing acquaintance
I'm just about glad that it was a memory
That doesn't need constant maintenance
There are a few things that I regret
But nothing that I need to forget
For all of the courage that we never had
I'm just about glad

Just about glad we didn't do that thing
Just about glad we didn't have that fling
Just about glad we didn't give it a try
Just about glad, is that a tear in your eye

And on the few times I rang to propose
There was a man there or so I suppose
The greatest lover that you never had
I'm just about glad

They called time and vodka and lime
In some far flung Canadian club
(Just about glad)
And there I was just waiting to fall
Like a toe just aching to stub
(Just about glad)
Later on I could never accept it
When you finally gave it all to him
(Just about glad)
And you said that my nurse was sweet
But her lamp was just beginning to dim

I'm just about glad
That we never did that thing we were going to do
I'm just about glad I can look you in the eye
But I can't say the same for you
And though the passion still flutters and flickers
It never got into our knickers
For all of the courage that we never had
I'm just about, I'm just about
I'm just about, I'm just about

And it's all just a stupid creation
Of my feverous imagination
If I'm the greatest lover that you never had
I'm just about, I'm just about
I'm just about, I'm just about

Is that a tear in your eye

Give it a listen...you'll understand

Just About Glad.mp...

Lyrics That Hit Home...

God forgive me I want who I want...I need who I need...I love who can't have.

~ Even Love Dies - Rachael Sage

Why are these words the story of my life? Why? Why? Why?

Chasing you around the room is tempting
So near and far away from meaning anything to you-
But just remember if you're jumping, I would start my jump off
Running after you..

~ Your Armor - Charlotte Martin

I really love the part about being so near and far away from meaning anything to you. Yeah. That song is so my life right now, except the person in question in my life is obviously not speaking to me, because of something I DID NOT DO!!

And the song that I love but just can't live by

This time i'm not gonna go so crazy
I'm not gonna let it faze me
I'm building my resistance
Bound to keep my distance

Slowly, determined to take it slowly
Refusing to let it throw me
Feeling every feeling
Staring at the ceiling

And if it's real, a heart will know
All the time
And come the spring, it will grow
Or die upon the vine
But if it's love, love will come
Knocking at my door
I do believe it now
Sometimes less is more

This time I'm not going to stoke the fire
I'm not going to walk the wire
Oh heart you've learned your lesson
Love is not obsesssion

Easy, I swear that I'll take it easy
And passion you won't deceive me
I'll hear the music playing
Hear the songbird saying

And if it's real, a heart will know
All the time
And come the spring, it will grow
Or die upon the vine
But if it's love, love will come
Knocking at my door
I do believe it now
Sometimes less is more

And if it's real, I will know
Know this time
And come the spring, it will grow
Or die upon the vine
But if it's love, love will come
Knocking at my door
I do believe it now
Sometimes less is more

~ Sometimes Less Is More - Justin Hayward

This Justin song makes me cry every time. Even when it's message didn't hit home it made me cry. I've really gone off The Moody Blues lately but Justin's solo work is still some of my favorite music. It's a shame...this heart has not learned its lesson.
