Breathe

Well still no news on what's going on with my credit card, I'm simply reminding myself to breathe.

So... I'll add in my second Michelle Branch song for the week (and we're only on day two). "Breathe" says a lot about the idea of getting over it. So, I'm currently building my bridge.

i've been driving for an hour
just talking to the rain
you say i've been driving you crazy
and it's keeping you away
so just give me one good reason
tell me why i should stay
'cause i don't wanna waste another moment
in saying things we never meant to say
and i take it just a little bit
i hold my breath and count to ten
i've been waiting for a chance to let you in

if i just breathe
let it fill the space between
i'll know everything is alright
breathe
every little piece of me
you'll see
everything is alright
if i just breathe

well it's all so overrated
in not saying how you feel
so you end up watching chances fade
and wondering what's real
and i give you just a little time
i wonder if you realize i've been waiting 'til i see it in your eyes

if i just breathe
let it fill the space between
i'll know everything is alright
breathe
every little piece of me
you'll see
everything is alright
if i just breathe

so i whisper in the dark
hoping you'll hear me
do you hear me?

if i just breathe
let it fill the space between
i'll know everything is alright
breathe
every little piece of me
you'll see
everything is alright
if i just breathe

everything is alright if i just breathe
i've been driving for an hour
just talking to the rain

Love the start to the second verse, "it's so overrated..." I'd say that about worrying. It really is so overrated.

Goodbye to You

Today's tune is inspired by a phone call on Friday night. Guess I've gotten a lot further down the road than I've realised. Wondering what I would say... how much had been left unsaid and unanswered. But after a few harsh words aimed at me I simply hung up. Not even worth the effort.

So, all I really have to say is "Goodbye to You". Michelle Branch does a fantastic job of bringing a lot of emotion both hard and yet so gentle with this one. I've realised that there is no point in trying to explain just how much they may have hurt you mostly because words can't really do that but more importantly because they'll never know how it feels to truly love somebody.

How many years pretending?

Of all the things I believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by

I've been searching deep down in my soul
words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said...

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto

I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes
And you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Oh, woah

And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you
But I'm not giving in this time

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything that I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto
The one thing that I tried to hold onto

Oh Woah
And when the stars fall I will lie awake
You're my shooting star

Yeah, I know I've posted this one before, but sometimes you just need to repeat something to ensure it sinks in.

Goodbye to You

Well didn't post a tune yesterday so will add a few today. Having an MP3 day in the office. Well I am... Just decided that I'll put my head down and get on with it. Great to hear t few tunes I haven't heard in quite some time.

Here's one from Michelle Branch that I haven't heard in a while. It really is amazing how much emotion you can out of a few songs. But, "Goodbye to You"...

Of all the things I believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by

I've been searching deep down in my soul
words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said...

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto

I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes
And you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it's not right

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
Oh, woah

And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what's yours and I want what's mine
I want you
But I'm not giving in this time

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything that I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto


Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold onto
The one thing that I tried to hold onto

Oh Woah
And when the stars fall I will lie awake
You're my shooting star

I guess it was all just pretend, well for some.
