Couldn’t we try April 10, 2009

i was hoping we could be
sitting at the door looking out to sea.
i was hoping we could be
making up plans,start a new life
just you and me
i was hoping we could be
counting the stars above. feeling free
i was hoping we could be
what we always wanted when we found the one
we love eternally
oh my love, can’t you see
this time we spent apart
is a sad sad aching misery
oh my love, baby baby baby
i lost myself without you next to me
i’m just sitting by myself
making up a lonely song, sing to me
i’m just drinking by myself
all the walls closing in
i run around to find my sanity
oh my love, can’t you see
this time we spent apart is a sad sad aching misery
oh my love i’m waiting waiting waiting
i can’t turn back time but i want you to know
that i love you so
put down the fences that u built around
shutting me out, giving me no chance to say i’m sorry
going crazy since the day you said goodbye
couldn’t we stand by each other, couldn’t we try
i was hoping we could be
making up a song, singing it together in harmony
i was hoping we could be
falling in love, all over again
we could be.

When You were Young February 5, 2008

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch him now, here he comes
He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young
Can we climb this mountain, I don’t know
Higher now than ever before, I
Know we can make it if we take it slow
Thats thinking easy, easy now, watch it go
We’re burning down the highway skyline on the
Back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young
And sometimes you close your eyes
And see the place where you used to live
When you were young
[When You Were Young lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
They say the devil’s water, it ain’t so sweet
You don’t have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while
You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch him now, here he comes
He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young
(Talks like a gentleman, like you imagine)
When you were young
I said he doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But more than you’ll ever know

And so on as the radio plays every wednesday evening as we prepare for stand by bed.
Mambo was an essential part of the cleaning up process. She danced with a stranger in the rain as I twirled the mop around the benches and desks. It was not so much a sqaure room as it was a giantic hold seperated into managable compartments by curtains. It was my luck to draw the makeshift classroom as my area of responsibility but the radio was near and the music was loud and I fell in love with Donna Summers all over again.
“Somewhere in my heart I am always, dancing with you in the summer rain.”

Last year's winter, we laughed very sweetly
看著妳哭泣的臉, 對著我說再見
kan zhe ni ku qi de lian / dui zhe wo shuo zai jian
Watching your tearstained face, telling me goodbye
來不及聽見 妳已走得很遠
lai bu ji ting jian / ni yi zou de hen yuan
[I] have yet to hear it when you've already walked so far
也許妳已經放棄我 也許已經很難回頭
ye xu ni yi jing fang qi wo / ye su yi jing hen nan hui tou
Perhaps you have already given up on me, perhaps it is already very difficult to turn back
我知道是自己錯過 請再給我一個理由說妳不愛我
wo zhi dao shi zi ji cuo guo / qing zai gei wo yi ge li you shuo ni bu ai wo
I know it's all my fault, please give me another reason, say you don't love me
就算是我不懂 能不能原諒我
jiu suan shi wo bu dong / neng bu neng yuan liang wo
Even if I don't understand, can [you] forgive me?
請不要把分手當作妳的請求

Please don't use parting (breakup) as your request
我知道堅持要走 是妳受傷的藉口

I know wanting to go is your wound's excuse
請妳回頭 我會陪妳一直走到最後

[Can] you please turn back, I will accompany you until the very end

You said [you] gave me tolerance, and silence was because of acceptance
如果要走 請妳記得我 如果難過 請妳忘了我

From Sarah With Love March 22, 2006

For so many years we were friends
And yes I always knew what we could do
But so many tears in the rain
Felt the night you said
That love had come to you
I thought you were not my kind
I thought that I could never feel for you
The passion and love you were feeling
And so you left
For someone new
And now that you're far and away
I'm sending a letter today
From Sarah with love
She'd got the lover she is dreaming of
She never found the words to say
But I know that today
She's gonna send her letter to you
From Sarah with love
She took your picture to the stars above
And they told her it is true
She could dare to fall in love with you
So don't make her blue when she writes to you
From Sarah with love
So maybe the chance for romance
Is like a train to catch before it's gone
And I'll keep on waiting and dreaming
You're strong enough
To understand
As long as you're so far away
I'm sending a letter each day
From Sarah with love
She'd got the lover she is dreaming of
She never found the words to say
But I know that today
She's gonna send her letter to you
From Sarah with love
She took your picture to the stars above
And they told her it is true
She could dare to fall in love with you
So don't make her blue when she writes to you
From Sarah with love
From Sarah with love
She'd got the lover she is dreaming of
She never found the words to say
But I know that today
She's gonna send her letter to you
From Sarah with love
She's gotta know what you are thinking of
'Cause every little now and then
And again and again
I know her heart cries out for you
From Sarah with love
She'd got the lover she is dreaming of
Never found the words to say, ahh
But today, but today…
From Sarah with love
She took your picture to the stars above
And they told her it is true
She could dare to fall in love with you
So don't make her blue when she writes to you
From Sarah with love
So don't make me blue when I write to you
From Sarah with love

All day
Staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night
Hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on
I’m feeling like I’m headed for a
Breakdown
I don’t know why
I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell
I know, right now you can’t tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you’ll see
A different side of me
I’m not crazy, I’m just a little impaired
I know, right now you don’t care
But soon enough you’re gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Me
Talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
I know
I know they’ve all been talking ’bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong
With me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow
I’ve lost my mind
I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell
I know, right now you can’t tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you’ll see
A different side of me
I’m not crazy, I’m just a little impaired
I know right now you don’t care
But soon enough you’re gonna think of me
And how I used to be
I been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they’ll come to get me
Yeah, they’re taking me away
I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell
I know, right now you can’t tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you’ll see
A different side of me
I’m not crazy I’m just a little impaired
I know, right now you don’t care
But soon enough you’re gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Hey, how I used to be
How I used to be, yeah
Well I’m just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be

Comfortable January 6, 2006

I just remembered, that time at the market
snuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
And rode down, isle 5
you looked behind you to smile back at me
crashed into a rack full of magazines
they asked us, if we could leave.
Can’t remember, what went wrong last September
though i’m sure you’d remind me, if you had to
Our love was, comfortable and
so broken in
I sleep with this new girl i’m still getting used to
my friends all approve, say ’shes gonna be good for you’
they throw me, high fives
She says the bible is all that she reads
and prefers that I not use profanity
your mouth was, so dirty
Life of the party
and she swears that she’s artsy
but you could distinguish
Miles from Coltrane
Our love was, comfortable and
so broken in
she’s perfect, so flawless
or so they say, say
She thinks I can’t see the smile that shes faking
and poses for pictures that aren’t being taken
I loved you
grey sweat pants, no makeup, so perfect
Our love was, comfortable and
so broken in
she’s perfect, so flawless
I’m not impressed, I want you back.
- John Mayer
