I’m Yours

February 21, 2009

You touch these tired eyes of mine
And map my face out line by line
And somehow growing old feels fine
I listen close for I’m not smart
You wrap your thoughts in works of art
And they’re hanging on the walls of my heart

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I’m yours
And though my edges may be rough
And never feel I’m quite enough
It may not seem like very much
But I’m yours

You healed these scars over time
Embraced my soul
You loved my mind
You’re the only angel in my life
The day news came my best friend died
My knees went weak and you saw me cry
Say I’m still the soldier in your eyes

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
And though I may not look like much
I’m yours
And though my edges may be rough
And never feel I’m quite enough
It may not seem like very much
But I’m yours

I may not have the softest touch
I may not say the words as such
I know I don’t fit in that much
But I’m yours

Boy with a Coin

January 28, 2009

A boy with a coin he found in the weeds
With bullets and pages of trade magazines
Close to a car that flipped on the turn
When God left the ground to circle the world

A girl with a bird she found in the snow
Then flew up her gown and that’s how she knows
If God made her eyes for crying at birth
Then left the ground to circle the earth

A boy with a coin he crammed in his jeans
Then making a wish he tossed in the sea
Walked to a town that all of us burn
When God left the ground to circle the world

You and Me Always

December 18, 2008

Always when we fight
I try to make you laugh
Til everything’s forgotten
I know you hate that

ba ba da da ba ba ba ba (2x)

Always when we fight
I kiss you once or twice
And everything’s forgotten
I know you hate that

I love you Sunday sun
The week’s not yet begun
And everything is quiet
And it’s always…

You and me always, and forever
You and me always, and forever
ba ba ba ba da ba, it was always
You and me always..

You tell me I’m a real man
and try to look impressed
Not very convincing
But you know I love it

Now we watch TV
Til we fall asleep
Not very exciting
But it’s you and…

Me and we’ll always be together
You and me always, and forever
ba ba ba ba da ba, it was always…
You and me always, and forever
You and me always, and forever
ba ba ba ba da ba, it was always…
You and me always, and forever
You and me always, and forever
ba ba ba ba da ba ba….
ba ra ra

The One You Love

September 13, 2008

I know you need a friend
someone you can talk to
who will understand
what you’re going through
when it comes to love
there’s no easy answer
only you can say
what you’re gonna do
i heard you on the phone
you took his number
said you weren’t alone
but you’d call him soon
isn’t he the guy
the guy who left you crying
isn’t he the one
who made you blue…oooh
when you remember those nights in his arms
you know you got to make up your mind

Chorus:
are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
or are you going back to the one you love

someone’s gonna cry when they know they lost you
someone’s gonna thank the stars above

what you gonna say
when he comes over
there’s no easy way to see this through
all the broken dreams
all the disappointment
oh girl…whatcha gonna do?
Your heart keeps sayin it’s just not fair
but still you gotta make up your mind

Blackout

August 29, 2008

Don’t kid yourself
And don’t fool yourself
This love’s too good, to last
And I’m too old to dream, yeah…
Don’t grow up too fast
And don’t embrace the past
This life’s too good to last
And I’m too young to care, yeah…

Don’t kid yourself
And don’t fool yourself
This life could be the last
And we’re too young to see

Muse – Blackout

Say All I Need

June 25, 2008

OneRepublic – Say (All I Need)

Do you know where your heart is?
Do you think you can find it?
Or did you trade it for something, somewhere, better just to have it?
Do you know where your love is?
Do you think that you lost it?
You felt it so strong but nothing’s, turned out how you want it

Well bless my soul
You’re a lonely soul
‘Couse you won’t let go, of anything you hold
“Well, all I need is the air I breathe and a place to rest my head”

Do you know what your fate is?
And now you’re trying to shake it?
You’re doing youre best dance, your best look
You’re praying that you’ll make it

Well bless my soul
You’re a lonely soul
‘Couse you won’t let go, of anything you hold
“Well, all I need is the air I breathe and a place to rest my head
Say all I need is the air I breathe and a place to rest my head”

Do you think I can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it, better than you had it?

“Say all I need, is the air I breathe, and a place, to rest my head
Say all I need, is the air I breathe, and a place, to rest my head”

Do you know where the end is?
Do you think you can see it?
Well, until you get there, go on, go ahead and scream it
Just say…

10 hours of fund-raising/selling donation tickets is no joke. My arms are trembling and my legs are jelly. -.-

Anyway I love this song!

John Mayer – Say

Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems
Better put ‘em in quotations

Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you’d be better off instead
If you could only

Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You better know that in the end
It’s better to say too much
Than never to say what you need to say

Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as your eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open

Say what you need to say

i finally found someone

March 15, 2008

I finally found someone, who knocks me off my feet
I finally found the one, who makes me feel complete
We started over coffee, we started out as friends
It’s funny how from simple things, the best things begin

This time it’s different (dah dah dah dah)
It’s all because of you (dah dah dah dah)
It’s better than it’s ever been
Cause we can talk it through
My favorite line was “Can I call you sometime?”
It’s all you had to say to take my breath away

This is it, oh
I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one
To be with every night
Cause whatever I do
It’s just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone (ooh, someone)
I finally found someone (ooh)

Did I keep you waiting (I didn’t mind)
I apologize (baby, that’s fine)
I would wait forever just to know you were mine
And I love your hair (sure it looks right?)
I love what you wear (isn’t it too tight?)
You’re exceptional
I can’t wait for the rest of my life
This is it, oh

I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one
To be with every night
Cause whatever I do
It’s just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone (ooh, someone)
I finally found someone (ooh)

Cause whatever I do
It’s just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone

Bryan Adams – I Finally Found Someone

Cheesy, but I’ll want this song to play on my wedding haaaa.

Back to school…

March 6, 2008

But the one week break didn’t feel like a break at all.

Anyway, it’s already week 9! Deadlines, assignments and presentations piling in.. the renowned S/MU hell weeks are here.

Business law presentation on Tuesday was pretty good I felt. Although the class bombed us left right centre with questions after questions, we managed to answer them and the prof even defended us. Hopefully a good sign? I just spent the last 3 hours doing up my part of the Group Report. Managed to crap up 4 and 1/5 pages! Not bad ay?

And yes, I can’t believe I woke up at 6am today just to finish up my AS essay which was due today. Surprisingly I finished in like 3 hours! Managed to crap up 5 full pages. Woah today I wrote 9 and 1/5 of crap. Magnificent!

Haven’t started mugging for Stats exam this Sat. SO dead. Had to postpone my tuition to Sunday because of this exam. Why does S/MU have exams on Sat?! It sucks..

My student is such a sweet boy lurh, asked me how come I cannot make it this Sat.. how’s my preparation for the exam and even wished me all the best. Only one lesson only he’s already so concerned for me…. feel like giving him a big big hug LOL. Ok ya I don’t want him to be traumatized so ya I will practise self-control..

Weather sucks these days. Keep raining non-stop. I hate it when it rains when I want to go home. Because it’d mean that I’m stuck in school. And usually stuck in the library because now the trend is that all the GSRs will be fully booked. =/ And the atmosphere in the library is always so….. mugger-ish.

University life is so tiring!

Anyway now I’m addicted to Love Hurts by Incubus. (:

Love hurts
But sometimes it’s a good hurt
And it feels like I’m alive
Love sings
When it transcends the bad things
Have a heart and try me
Cause without love I won’t survive

Naked as we came

February 26, 2008

She says, “Wake up, it’s no use pretending”
I’ll keep still and breathe in her.
Birds are leaving over autumn’s ending
One of us will die inside these arms
Eyes wide open, naked as we came
One will spread our ashes round the yard

She says, “If i leave before you, darling
Don’t you waste me in the ground”
I lay smiling like our sleeping children
One of us will die inside these arms
Eyes wide open, naked as we came
One will spread our ashes round the yard
