Song Lyrics @ MindSay

Don't think me unkind, words are hard to find
They're only checks I've left unsigned
From the banks of chaos in my mind
When their eloquence escapes me
Their logic ties me up and rapes me

De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
The innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
They're meaningless and all that's true

Poets, priests, and politicians
Have words to thank for their positions
Words that scream for your submission
No one's jamming their transmission
When their eloquence escapes you
Their logic ties you up and rapes you

De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
The innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They're meaningless and all that's true.

-The Police

Wanting to say something important to you, but I'm tired of words.

 

I guess I want to say something important to you, because I want you to know how important you are to me.

Somewhere, far away from here
I saw stars, stars that I could reach, yeah
It was a midnight, a silent twilight
You fell down beyond the ocean beach, yeah

I assemble all the sand that cover wedding beaches
To build a castle so your mom would have a place to stay
Behind the waterslide and down the hill where heaven reaches
Land and time is left to float away, yeah

So rest assured I have the key to every opening
To every wishing well that's deep enough to drink, drink
I want to show you just how fascinating kissing is
When Earth collides with all the space between, yeah

I'm reaching farther than I ever have, before
Leaving all who broke your heart upon the shore
I may be some sort of crazy
We may be some sort of crazy
But I swear on everything I have and more

So never look behind you - spooky people bring you down
The world is ending; there's a party by the bay
I'll wear my suit and tie when I am
I am toasting to the way you put that smile upon my face, yeah

Fill up the air balloon and ride with me
Yeah, Hell is jealous of the rain (rain)
Make love like time and space is ending
While befriending Fate's alluring way of putting us to shame

I'm reaching farther than I ever have before
Leaving all who broke your heart upon the shore
I may be some sort of crazy
We may be some sort of crazy
But I swear on everything I have and more

You make the sound of pulling Heaven down
You brought the rain's romantic pour
You make the sound
You make the sound
Of pulling Heaven down

I'm reaching farther than I ever have before (Tired of wasting time)
Leaving all who broke your heart upon the shore (Tired of wasting time)
I may be some sort of crazy
We may be some sort of crazy
When I swear on everything I have and more
(go go go go)

-Blue October

If I could find a cover of this song with the instrumentation just a littler gentler, it would be going on a particular list I've been building. I am liking the lyrics. And, yes, it makes me think of my love.

This isn't exactly a genre I usually listen to, but I had a particular song recommended to me, and I've been playing it since.

If you wanna drive a big limousine
About the longest one you've ever seen
I'll buy you tall, tall trees
And all the waters in the seas
I'm a fool, fool, fool for you

If you wanna own a great big mansion
Well, I'll give it my utmost attention
I'll buy you tall, tall trees
And all the waters in the seas
I'm a fool, fool, fool for you

Well I'm a fool, a fool for you
It may take awhile, but I'll prove it's true

Well, if it's lovin' you want, then I've got it
If it's money you want, then I'll get it
I'll buy you tall, tall trees
And all the waters in the seas
I'm a fool, fool, fool for you

If you wanna take a trip across the ocean
I'll travel anywhere you take a notion
I'll buy you tall, tall trees
And all the waters in the seas
I'm a fool, fool, fool for you

If you wanna own a great big mansion
Well, I'll give it my utmost attention
I'll buy you tall, tall trees
And all the waters in the seas
I'm a fool, fool, fool for you

I'm a fool, a fool for you
It may take awhile, but I'll prove it's true

If it's lovin' you want, then I've got it
If it's money you want, then I'll get it
I'll buy you tall, tall trees
And all the waters in the seas
I'm a fool, fool, fool for you

-Alan Jackson

Maybe not the spin Mr. Jackson had in mind, but this was definitely a dad-and-daughter song when I was a kid. I had little interest in the mansion or limousine concept, but singing with my Dad and having the affirmation of affection was all I could want.

Still very much the case.

Let me be your hero

Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
Would you run and never look back?
Would you cry if you saw me crying?
Would you save my soul tonight?

Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh? Oh, please tell me this:
Now, would you die for the one you loved?
Hold me in your arms tonight

I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

Would you swear that you'll always be mine?
Would you lie? Would you run and hide?
Am I too deep? Have I lost my mind?
I don't care; you're here tonight

I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

Oh, I just want to hold you
I just want to hold you, yeah
Am I too deep? Have I lost my mind?
Well, I don't care; you're here tonight

I can be your hero, baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

-Enrique Iglesias

Again, Camp Theme this summer is "Superhero," so it was a matter of time before this landed up here.

I can tell you that I'm somewhat hesitant to trust in anyone human to be my hero. My dad's had the title since I was a little girl, but anyone else has got to be someone pretty special for me to count on them.

You knew that we belonged together
Long before I knew your name
And the only thing you longed for
Was a sign to prove I knew the same

Somehow you knew my every secret
Before looking in my eyes
From the very moment you made me
You were thinking of the rest of my life

You say to me...

"I'm gonna love you 'til the end of time."
Somehow my heart has found a friend in time
Eternity, eternity is on my side

I'm not afraid to say, "forever,"
You have made me feel so sure
And I know it's everlasting
Though I've never had this feeling before

Keep telling me,

"I'm gonna love you 'til the end of time."
Somehow this heart has found a friend in time
Eternity, eternity is on my side

Caught in the tide
And it brought me to you
Under a spell
Though now I know this dream comes true

I'm gonna love you 'til the end of time
Somehow this heart has found a friend in time
Eternity, eternity is on our side

Eternity, I'll love you for eternity

Similar to another previous one. Love songs I love are often not quite set for the story to describe myself and my dearest love, so they find themselves being altered a bit while I'm singing to myself. As I'm not likely to have a singing career, and it's often a time with just me and him, it seems more appropriate to sing it that way.
