“The Luckiest”
I don’t get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know
That I am, I am, I am, The luckiest
What if I’d been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I’d be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?
And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know
That I am, I am, I am, The luckiest
I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you
Next door there’s an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away
I’m sorry, I know that’s a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
That I know…

Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light
of the moon
Come to my window
I’ll be home soon
I would dial the numbers
Just to listen to your breath
I would stand inside my hell
And hold the hand of death
You don’t know how far I’d go
To ease this precious ache
You don’t know how much I’d give
Or how much I can take
Just to reach you
Just to reach you
Just to reach you
Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light
of the moon
Come to my window
I’ll be home soon
Keeping my eyes open
I cannot afford to sleep
Giving away promises
I know that I can’t keep
Nothing fills the blackness
That has seeped into my chest
I need you in my blood
I am forsaking all the rest
Just to reach you
Just to reach you
Oh to reach you
Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light
of the moon
Come to my window
I’ll be home soon
I don’t care what they think
I don’t care what they say
What do they know about this
love anyway
Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light
of the moon
Come to my window
I’ll be home soon
— Melissa Etheridge (come to my window)
I wanna get lost in some corner booth
A Cantina in Mexico
I wanna dance to the static on an A.M. radio
I wanna wrap the moon around us and lay beside you skin on skin
Make love ‘til the sun comes up until the sun goes down again
cause i need you”
— Faith Hill & Tim McGraw (I Need You)
Give me your hand
And take what you will tonight, I’ll give it as fast
And high as the flame will rise
Cinder and smoke
Some whispers around the trees
The juniper bends
As if you were listening”
— ~~Iron and Wine from the song Cinder and Smoke one of my fav songs right now.
If you could step into my head,
tell me would you still know me
If you woke up in my bed,
tell me then would you hold me
Or would you simply let it lie,
leaving me to wonder why
I can’t get you out of this head
I call mine
And I will say
Oh no I can’t let you go, my little girl
Because you’re holding up my world
So I need you.
Your imitaion of my walk and the perfect way you talk
It’s just a couple of the million things that I love about you
So I need you
— ~~ 3 doors down ” So I Need You”
