Me.
With Folded Arms.
Sunday, March 23, 2008
Forgive me if I do not adhere to the restrictions in time that I originally set forth upon myself. I'm off by one week, but it doesn't matter much. The fact is that I need to let certain things be known, and I feel that the right time is now.
Most know that when I listen to music, the one thing that captures my attention in songs are the lyrics. A song might be musically majestic, but if the words don't tug at the thoughts, then the song is worth little. I'm sure this is true for many others as well.
Recently I started listening to a song which spoke out to me on a level I needed to be at. Along with the constant companionship of a select few, and the specific events surrounding my life - all of this influenced me into my decision with you.
Yes, though I am not sure if what I'm doing now is right, I can say this much - this post, and the meaning in the song, is directed at you. Whether you realize you are my intended audience is a different thing altogether. It's alright if you don't get it though - because my mind is made up. For me, it can only get better from here on out.
If I had eyes in the back of my head
I would have told you that
You looked good
As I walked away
And if you could've tried to trust the hand that fed
You would've never been hungry
But you never really be
The more of this or less of this or is there any difference
or are we just holding onto the things we don't have anymore
Sometimes time doesn't heal
No not at all
Just stands still
While we fall
In or out of love again I doubt I'm gonna win you back
When you got eyes like that
It won't let me in
Always looking out
Lot of people spend their time just floating
We were victims together but lonely
You got hungry eyes that just can't look forward
Can't give them enough but we just can't start over
Building with bent nails we're falling but holding
I don't wanna take up anymore of your time
Time time time
Sometimes time doesn't heal
No not all
Just stands still
While we fall
In or out of love again I doubt I'm gonna win you back
When you got eyes like that
It won't let me in
Always looking out
Always looking
- "If I had eyes", by Jack Johnson -
I don't think I need to explain further. The song says it all, only you'll have to apply its meaning to how we were. Even if you don't understand, and nothing changes... I'll be the first to tell you: Thank you for all the time spent.
A goodbye for me, a goodnight for us.
