musings
here's a song i heard yesterday that i haven't heard
in a long while. i used to listen to it in college a
lot. it's by a group called Caedmon's Call. i always
just loved the lyrics. i don't know what single
person can't relate to them.
"Table for Two"
Danny and I spent another late night over pancakes
We talked about soccer and how every man's just the same
And made speculations on the who's and the when's of our future
And how everyone's lonely, but still we just couldn't complain
And how we just hate being alone
Could I have missed my only chance?
And now I'm just wasting my time
Looking around
But you know I know better
I'm not gonna worry about nothin'
Cuz if the birds and the flowers survive then I'll make it okay
Given a chance and a rock see which one breaks a window
And see which one keeps me up all night and into the day
Because I'm so scared of being alone
That I forgot what house I live in
But it's not my job to wait by the phone
For her to call
This day's been crazy, but everything's happened on schedule
From the rain and the cold to the drink that I spilled on my shirt
Cuz You knew how You'd save me before I fell dead in the garden
And You knew this day long before You made me out of dirt
And You know the plans that you have for me
And You can't plan the ends and not plan the means
And so I suppose I just need some peace
Just to get me to sleep
