Every once in a while, you run across a song that you just sit and listen to the lyrics to. That's what happened to this Train song. I was just up early one Saturday morning when Dave was working, and I was watching VH-1's top 20 countdown. (OT-Britney's "Toxic" in the top 20? Is this VH-1 I'm watching?) And then this song came on. For some reason, I listened to all the words, which I rarely have the attention span to do to any song. I don't know if this was their intention for the song, because I couldn't really discern for sure from the video. But in listening to the words, I thought of my mom, how sometimes I feel like she's up there watching over me, making sure I'm ok. And that sometimes I may regret things I didn't say, or things we didn't do, it doesn't matter because all the moments we DID have together made our time together special.
When it rains it pours and opens doors
And floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry
And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips into the ones we love
That have to say goodbye
And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that won't seem to let me go
Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here
And every word I didn't say that caught up in some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen floor we didn't dance before
And every sunset that we'll miss I'll wrap them all up in a kiss
And pick you up in all of this when I sail away
Whether I am up or down or in or out or just plane overhead
Instead it just feels like it is impossible to fly
But with you I can spread my wings
to see me over everything that life may send me
When I am hoping it won't pass me by
And when I feel like there is no one that will ever know me
there you are to show me
hey girl, do me a favor and delete the password post? thanks!

Posted by: Chariya on February 11, 2004 12:20 PMI recently listened to the lyrics of this beautiful song too. I was driving to my sisters house one day and just felt so touched by the message. There are a lot of amazing lyrics out there I have discovered on the hour drive back and forth to my sisters!

Posted by: Lissa on February 14, 2004 07:50 AMI seldom listen to ALL of the words of a song either. This song just got my attention. I don't plan on dying any time soon, but when I do......I want this at my funeral.
