for the moment the "we" is reprieved

once again, Rachael Yamagata says it better than i can. everytime i listen to her, i find something else that i love. or something will happen in my life, and then i'll listen and i swear she just wrote that song for me. Or sometimes the song will mean one thing to me about a certain person but then later i'll listen again and the song fits for someone else as well. its pretty ridiculous but it makes me love her even more.

Like this song "Under My Skin", i used to think about this one boy and how i sometimes wish he could find someone else so i could move on easier. even though i dont completely want to move on. And now as i listened to it this afternoon, i thought about another boy that i consider one of my closest friends and recent events have somewhat led me to believe something else could happen....but there is someone else he's holding on to that i cant replace. I'd honestly rather have him be with her than have this "what if" feeling hanging over my head.

So here's the song that i can't get out of my head right now thinking of them. and in all honesty, you'll probably be seeing alot more of her lyrics in my blog because i can relate to just about every song of hers in one way or another.


Under My Skin
I hesitate to say I was bait for you
Could that be something that you all would do?
I'd be lying if I did now say I wasn't intrigued
But timing is everything here,
and for the moment the "we" is reprieved
But, as I watch the girl unfold before my eyes, I discover
That I like her

Would you please get out from under my skin?
'Cause I can't begin this yet
And I don't know what my intentions are
They're speaking in a different tongue
And deep inside, I'm not as tough as I seem
But I won't let you know
Until it's right, I'm gonna stay my distance
And you should go

I'm in the dance, and it's a chance
But stay and watch awhile
I'll be singing a tune just for you with a smile
And maybe, if I'm lucky
You'll tip your hat to me, and you'll discover
That you like her

Would you please get out from under my skin?
'Cause I can't begin this yet
And I don't know what my intentions are
They're speaking in a different tongue
And, deep inside, I'm not as tough as I seem
But I won't let you know
Until it's right, I'm gonna stay my distance
And you should go

Crazy as it all plays out
I think I'm lonelier than I've ever been before
'Cause I was so close
To going through that door
But I don't want to be to blame for them
I don't want to be to blame

Oh, would you please get out from under my skin?
'Cause I can't begin this yet
And I don't know what my intentions are
They're speaking in a different tongue
And, deep inside, I'm not as tough as I seem
But I won't let you know
Until it's right, I'm gonna stay my distance, and you should go

Oh, would you please get out
I'm not as strong as I seem, but I won't let you know
