Pirate On The Run

It was a better than average afternoon, it had been raining, as I drove to Bingham High School to pick my sister and her best friend up from school. I was listening to Pat Monahan's solo album, when Pirate On The Run came on. I'd never listened to this song, I liked it from the start. I love when a song tells a story! As I move through the song a female starts to sing; I know I know this voice. I get this feeling in my stomache and the chords change... I all but slam my car to a halt in the middle of the street when I realize it's BRANDI FREAKING CARLILE!!!!!!!!!! Two of my very favorite music artists! Singing. Together. LOVE!

Oh it made my day!

This Ain't Goodbye.

Dear You,

I found our song.

I love you forever in our special way!

This is not where our story ends, 

As long as we've got time, then this ain't goodbye.

This is just where love goes...

Yours,

Miss Jess

F, F A, & F L 

You and I were friends from outer space 

Afraid to let go 

The only two who understood this place 

And as far as we know

We were way before our time 

As bold as we were blind 

Just another perfect mistake 

Another bridge to take 

On the way of letting go,

This ain't goodbye 

This is just where love goes 

When words aren't warm enough

To keep away the cold

Oh no, this ain't goodbye

It's not where our story ends

But I know you can't be mine

Not the way you've always been

As long as we've got time

Then this ain't goodbye

Oh no, this ain't goodbye

We were stars up in the sunlit sky

That no one else could see

Neither of us thought to ever ask why

It wasn't meant to be

Maybe we were way too high to ever understand

Baby, we were victims of all

All the foolish plans 

We began to divide

But this ain't goodbye

This just where love goes

When words aren't warm enough 

To keep away the cold

Oh no, this ain't goodbye

It's not where our story ends

But I know you can't be mine

Not the way you've always been

As long as we've got time 

This ain't goodbye

Oh no, this ain't goodbye 

Oh, Oh, 

Oh no, this ain't goodbye

Na na na

na na na 

na na na na na na na

na na na

This ain't goodbye

  

You and I were friends from outer space

Afraid to let go

The only two who understood this place

As far as we know

This ain't goodbye

Oh no, this ain't goodbye

This ain't goodbye

Oh no, this ain't goodbye

This ain't goodbye

This is just where love goes

When words aren't warm enough

To keep away the cold

Oh no, this ain't goodbye

It's not where our story ends

But I know you can't be mine

Not the way you've always been

Oh no, don't say it

Na na na

Na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na

Don't say goodbye

If It's Love - Train

Dear Favorite couple of mine! This song reminds me of you!

Love,
Jess



P.S. This would be the 100th post for this blog!

Wonderful - Rob Thomas

Look at me I'm made of wonderful, wonderful
I'm all easy breath and steady walk, steady walking
But underneath I'm barely moving, no
Its like I'm nothing
All the ways they had to make me smile and then they go and break me

Wait, I think I feel like hell
Though I can't be myself
And I can't be nobody else but if I could
Would you love me then [x3]

Look at me, I'm made of wonderful, it's terrible
I'm all easy come and easy go
As far as you know
But underneath, man, I'm just killing time
I guess I'm past my prime
and now I'm overrated, overdressed, and overstated

Wait, I think I feel like hell
Though I can't be myself
And I can't be nobody else but if I could
Would you love me then [x3]

If I put my hands up, put your hands up
If I fall down
If I lose my place
And I don't know just where I'm supposed to go
If you'll be there when I wake
Would you love me then?

And I come home tired
And I come home late
Everybody wants me
So I give it away
I'm a wanted man [x4]

Would you love me then [x3]

Throwing Stones - Paula Cole

so call me a bitch in heat and
i'll call you a liar
and we'll throw stones until we're dead
there you go again you cut me off from talkin'
you bask in the glory
the center of the circle
all the friends think you're a comedian
so kind and generous
and i am suffering
away from here
i wanna be
away from here
away from here
away from every little thing
every little thing
i used to love your every little every little thing
so call me a bitch in heat and
i'll call you a liar
and we'll throw stones until we're dead
you're the puppeteer and i'm the puppet
you manipulate me with your real catholic shit
everytime i try to talk it through
you turn it around and make it suffer
like david and goliath
away from here
i wanna be
away from here
away from here
away from every little thing
every little thing
i used to love your every little every little thing
now you call me a bitch in heat and
i'll call you a liar
and we'll throw stones until we're dead
your arms beneath me
your lying inside me
i used to love your every little every little thing
your eyes grew stars
your hand in my purse
and now i hate your every little everything all day
oh mama
i didn't know life was this hard
oh mama
my innocence has been tarred
my inner vision, dulled and darkened
i keep myself away to you
i fuck my sorrow humbly
and throw my crown upon the ground
it's you i hope for
and us i pray for
and me that i believed that was wrong
and now my anger is my best friend
be careful i may bite your head off
liar
so call me a bitch in heat and
i'll you a motherfucker
and we'll throw stones until we're dead
so call me a bitch in heat and
i'll you a motherfucker
and we'll throw stones until we're dead

Everything - Buckcherry

Buried way beneath the sheets I think she’s having a meltdown
Finding it hard to fall asleep she won’t let anyone help her

The look on her face a waste of time she won’t let go gonna roll the dice
Loosing her grace starts to cry I feel her pain when I look in her
I wannna be I want everything, I want everything

Somewhere she is on the streets trying to make things better
Praying to God and breathing deep gotta break this long obsession

The look on her face a waste of time she won’t let go gonna roll the dice
Loosing her grace starts to cry I feel her pain when I look in her
I wanna be I want everything, I want everything I want everything
I wanna be I want everything, I want everything yeah

If I had everything would I still wanna be alive or wanna be high
If I had everything would I still wanna be alive or wanna be high

Now and then she talks to me and sometimes writes me letters

The look on her face a waste of time she won’t let go gonna roll the dice
Loosing her grace starts to cry I feel her pain when I look in her
I wanna be I want everything, I want everything
you know I, I wanna be yeah I want everything
I wanted everything everything

Your eyes, never close your eyes and open up your mind and baby you can have everything everything
Your eye, never close your eyes and open up your mind oh and baby you can have everything
