confessions of a lyric junkie

someone else's life
joshua radin
and somehow i'm leading someone else's life
i cut her star down with my knife
and right now i still see the way the moon
plays this tune though our night's died

my hands shake
my knees quake
it's every day
the same way

cause then came you
then there's you
i keep your picture
in my worn-through shoes
then there's you
then came you
when i'm lost
i look at my picture of you

and somehow i'll make tonight our own
show you every way i've grown since i met you
and right now i'll be the boy in your next song
i'll learn the parts and play along if you let me

my hands shake
my knees quake
it's every day
the same way

cause then came you
then there's you
i keep your picture
in my worn-through shoes
then there's you
then came you
when i'm lost
i look at my picture of you

if you let me i'll show the world to you
yes if you let me i'll know just what to do

cause then came you
then there's you
i keep your picture
in my worn-through shoes
when i'm lost in your eyes
i see the way for me

if you know me for more than say 30 seconds -- you'll know i'm a song lyric junkie.

i need to write -- it would be good for me to do so but i often struggle with inspiration. well, that's not true. i have inspiration but it rarely tends to be when i am sitting in front of a computer with time to write -- it usually happens in my car, listening to music...so maybe this will help?

anyway -- this song. current favourite song. it absolutely applies to how i feel about someone. actually, a few someones including myself. i am very good at looking outside of myself and understanding other people -- i get other people -- i don't really get myself as well and that is going to be the focus of the big 34 which is officially just a few weeks away.
