I find you stunning but you are running me down.

Jon McLaughlin's old album Indiana KILLS me (while his face makes me melt). Listening to "Beautiful Disaster" last night kinda made me tear up. I'm not a 17-year old girl but I can relate...listen to it: "Beautiful Disaster"
Some insightful lyrics from the song come from the beginning (kinda where I lost it).

She loves her mama's lemonade,
Hates the sound that goodbyes make.
She prays one day she'll find someone to need her.
She swears that there's no difference,
Between the lies and compliments.
It's all the same if everybody leaves her.

And every magazine tells her she's not good enough,
The pictures that she's seen make her cry.

And she would change everything, everything just ask her.
Caught in the in-between, a beautiful disaster,
And she just needs someone to take her home.


Call me pathetic but there comes a time when you just wanna pop on some sappy, sad tunes. And letting out a good cry isn't so terrible either. Right?

But my favorite song (ever?) would probably be Ingrid Michaelson's "Sort Of." Not only is it a great song in general but the lyrics say, "Oh hey, this is about you!" to me.
Listen and find peace: "Sort Of"

Baby you've got the sort of hands to rip me apart
And baby you've got the sort of face to start this old heart
But your eyes are warning me this early morning
That my love's too big for you my love

Baby you've got the sort of laugh that waters me
And makes me grow tall and strong and proud and flattens meI find you stunning, but you are running me down
My love's too big for you my love
My love's too big for you my love

And if I was stronger then I would tell you no
And if I was stronger then I will leave this show
And if I was stronger then I would up and go
But here I am and here we go again

Baby you've got the sort of eyes that tell me tales
That your sort of mouth just will not say, the truth impales
That you don't need me, but you won't leave me
My love's too big for you my love
My love's too big for you my love

And if I was stronger then I would tell you no
And if I was stronger then I will leave this show
And if I was stronger then I would up and go
But here I am and here we go again
Tell me what to do to take away the you?

And if I was stronger then I would tell you no.
And if I was stronger then I will leave this show
And if I was stronger then I would up and go
But here I am and here we go again


Of course I would never admit this publicly. Oops, kinda just did. But you know what I mean. Not everyone sees this so think of yourself as a very special follower that knows how songs make me feel, how they help me realize how I'm truly feeling or sum up how I'm feeling, and prove that I live vicariously through song lyrics...often.
