Wicked The Musical: I'm Not That Girl

I have never really felt like the girl that any guy wants to end up with... so this song kinda reflects those feelings.

Hands touch, eyes meet.

Sudden silence, sudden heat.

Hearts leap in a giddy whirl.

He could be that boy, but I'm not that girl.

Don't dream too far. Don't lose sight of who you are.

Don't remember that rush of joy.

He could be that boy. I'm not that irl.

Every so often we long to steal to the land of 'What-Might-Have-Been'.

But that doesn't soften the ache we feel. When reality sets back in...

Blithe smile, lithe limb she who's winsome, she wins him. Gold hair with a gentle curl that's the girl he chose. And heaven knows I'm not that girl.

Don't wish, don't Start. Wishing only wounds the heart.

I wasn't born for the rose and pearl.

There's a girl I know... he loves her so. I'm not that girl.

Wicked the musical: For Good

I think this song is so pretty. Makes you think about the impact you have on other people's lives and how you can impact them.

I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason bringing something we must learn. And we are lead to those who help us most to grow if we let them and we help them in return.

Well I don't know if I believe that's true but I know I'm who I am today because I knew you.

Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sun. Like a stream that meets a boulder half way through the wood. Who can say if I've changed for the better. But because I knew you I have been changed for good.

It well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime, so let me say before we part; So much of me is made of what I learned from you. You'll be with me like a handprint on my heart. And now whatever way our stories end I know you have re-written mine by being my friend.

Like a ship flung from it's mooring by a wind off the sea. Like a seed dropped by a sky-bird in the distant wood. Who can say if I've been changed for the better but because I knew you. Because I knew you. I have been changed for good.

And just to clear the air, I ask forgiveness for the things I've done you blame me for. But then I guess we know there's blame to share. And none of it seems to matter anymore.

Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sun. Like a stream that meets a boulder half way through the wood. Like a ship flung from it's mooring by a wind off the sea. Like a seed dropped by a sky-bird in the distant wood. Who can say if I've been changed for the better I do believe I have been changed for the better. And because I knew you because I knew you because I knew you I have been changed for good.

Colbie Caillat: Bubbly

When I first heard this song it made me think of how I feel to have my best friend back in my life again. It always brings a smile to my face to hear it. Plus it is sung in a key that I can sing along with and not be super embarrassed, just slightly embarrassed.

I've been awake for a while now. You got me feelin like a child now. Cause every time I see your bubbly face; I get the tingles in a silly place.

It starts in my toes, and I crinkle my nose. Wherever it goes I always know that you make me smile. Please stay for a while now; just take your time wherever you go.

The rain is falling on my window pane; but we are hiding in a safer place. Under covers staying safe and warm. You give me feelings that I adore.

It starts in my toes, and I crinkle my nose. Wherever it goes I always know that you make me smile. Please stay for a while now; just take your time wherever you go.

What am I gonna say when you make me feel this way ? I just mmmmm... and it starts in my toes , makes me crinkle my nose. Wherever it goesI always know that you make me smile. Please stay for a while now; just take your time wherever you go.

I've been asleep for a while now. You tuck me in just like a child now. Cause every time you hold me in your arms I'm comfortable enough to feel your warmth. And it starts in my soul and I lose all control. When you kiss my nose the feelin' shows cause you make me smile baby. Just take your time now holdin' me tight.

Wherever wherever wherever you go. Wherever wherever wherever you go. Wherever you go... I always know. Cause you make me smile even just for a while.

Third Eye Blind: Motorcycle Drive By

This song had just been stuck in my head. I have used it for the title of my normal blog because I think it fits the way I have been feeling lately... so alone and yet never been so alive! Plus I love the careening through the universe line. Seems so peaceful.

Summer time and the wind is blowing, outside in lower Chelsea, and I don't know what I'm doing in this city.

The sun is always in my eyes, it crashes through the windows, and I'm sleeping on the couch, when I came to visit you. That's when I knew, I could never have you, I knew that before you did. Still I'm feeling stupid, and there's this burning, like there's always been.

I've never been so alone and I've never been so alive.

Visions of you on a motorcycle drive by, cigarette ash flies in your eyes and you don't mind, and you smile, and say the world doesn't fit with you. I don't believe you, you're so serene. Careening through the universe, your axis on a tilt, guiltless and free I hope you take a piece of me with you.

And there's things I'd like to do that, you don't believe in, I would like to build something, you know it's never going to happen. And there's this burning, like there's always been, I've never been so alone, and I've never been so alive. And there's this burning, there is this burning, where's the soul, I want to know, New York City is evil. The surface is everything, but I could never do that, someone would see through that, and this will be the last time we'll be friends again. I'll get over you and you'll wonder who I am and there's this burning, like there's always been. I've never been so alone and I've never been so alive.

I go home to the coast, it starts to rain, I paddle out on the water. Alone. Taste the salt and taste the pain, I'm not thinking of you again. Summer dies and swells rise, the sun goes down in my eyes, see this rolling wave, darkly coming to take me home.

And I never been so alone, and I've never been so alive!

Hanson: With You In Your Dreams

Even when I was in high school this song really touched me. It is a song that I would like to be played at my memorial service (whenever that may be) just because it would comfort me to think that people will know that even after I am gone I will still be with them because I loved them. Kinda sad and depressing but I love this song... it always makes me cry when I hear it.

If Im gone when you wake up please dont cry. And if Im gone when you wake up its not goodbye. Dont look back at this time as a time of heartbreak and distress. Remember me, remember me, cause I'll be with you in your dreams.

Hooo... ohh Ill be with you.

If I'm gone when you wake up please dont cry. And if I'm gone when you wake up dont ask why.
Dont look back at this time as a time of heartbreak and distress. Remember me, remember me, cause I'll be with you in your dreams.

Dont cry; I'm with you dont cry, I'm by your side.

Dont cry; I'm with you dont cry, I'm by your side

And though my flesh is gone, hoo ohh. Ill still be with you at all times. And though my body is gone, hoo ohh. I'll be there to comfort you at all times. Hoo, ohh, hoo, ohh.

If I'm gone when you wake up please dont cry. And if I'm gone when you wake up dont ask why. Dont look back at this time as a time of heartbreak and distress. Remember me, remember me, cause I'll be with you in your dreams.

I dont want you to cry and weep, hoo ohh. I want you to go on livin your life. I'm not sleepin an endless sleep, hoo ohh. Cause in your heart you all have good times.

If I'm gone when you wake up please dont cry. And if I'm gone when you wake up dont ask why. Dont look back at this time as a time of heartbreak and distress. Remember me, remember me, cause I'll be with you in your dreams.

Ohh I'll be with you in your dreams.

Beatles: Let It Be

This song just reminds me that we don't need to stress over stupid things. Have faith that if you let go of the hold you have on the problem there will be an answer. God provides solutions to all problems in his time not ours. If you let it be you have a better chance of understanding that.

When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be. For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see there will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be. Yeah there will be an answer, let it be.

Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be. Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light that shines on me. Shine on till tomorrow, let it be.

I wake up to the sound of music Mother Mary comes to me speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be. A there will be an answer, let it be. Let it be, let it be.

Let it be, let it be. And there will be an answer, let it be. Let it be, let it be. Let it be, let it be, whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

Why a blog devoted to songs?

Ok this will just be a little project of mine to help me remember songs that I like. Whenever I either think of a song that has some important meaning to me... or I just plain like to turn it up and sing off key too it will be posted here.

Trust me I am no song guru so this will not be an educational experience. Like I said just songs that help me out for whatever reason. I will always try to give a little insight into why the songs stuck a cord with me.

So enjoy reading the lyrics to the songs I like. Who knows maybe one day I will find a use for the songs I am posting them here. I can create a scrapbook that future generations will look at and go... ugh that is not music! Geeze she had bad taste! Ok... well who cares I just felt the need to do this so with all the magic and glory that is the Internet I can!
