lyrics

i believe that there are two groups of people when it comes to choosing music: one group is drawn to the actual music and the other is drawn to the lyrics. i happen to fall into the second group. the words are what draws me in, what speaks to me and makes me listen.

i was driving in the car today to meet a friend for coffee and for some reason hit the cd player in my car. i swear i havent switched out the cds in over a year. those who know me, know exactly what was playing, but this isnt about whether you like my choice of music, its about the words and the words describe the place that i am in today. the song that was playing was grey street by dave matthews and this is what the words said....

"Oh look at how she listens
She says nothing of what she thinks
She just goes stumbling through her memories
Staring out on to Grey Street.
She thinks, "Hey, how did I come to this?
I dream myself a thousand times around the world
But I can't get out of this place.
There's an emptiness inside her
And she'll do anything to fill it in
But all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart
How she wishes it was different
She prays to God most every night
And though she swears it doesn't listen
There's still a hope in her it might
She says "I pray
But they fall on deaf ears,am I supposed to take it on myself?
To get out of this place?"
There's lonliness inside her
And she'll do anything to fill it in
And though it's red blood bleeding from her now
It feels like cold blue ice in her heart
When all the colors mix together - to grey
And it breaks her heart"

these words describe the grey state i am in today. i am hoping for some color other than grey tomorrow.
