Everybody has a story to tell Every detail they remember so well And they tell it to anyone with and ear to hear And heart to sympathize and care These strangers are friends you haven’t met So pull up a stool and light up a cigarette And I’ll tell ya a story I’ll never forget See, she wasn’t anything special Just a girl that I used to know I don’t care about the ring on her finger It was just a hand that I used to hold She was slicker than a sheet of ice And roughly about twice as cold She left me with a this on my tongue But even I think it’s getting old She was the craziest girl That anyone could come across She used to shop at Victoria’s Secret And everything she got was half off And I was standing there Standing at attention, and full aware That no matter how ready you think you are There are times you will never be prepared But I was so into her And I found there is a heaven here on Earth But paradises can be lost And until then you can’t determine their worth So I’m sitting here waiting Cuz I’m bored and tired of being alone Stuck in a bar that has no clocks To let me know when its time to go home And you may think this single life Can get to you and begin to wear thin But I think I love the pain or just knowing But this heart just needs a little breaking in ********************************** Well this heart could use some breaking in It’s the dead of winter with storm coming in I find myself lost and lonely Caught myself up in a sleet and wind Wondering if you got all those letters I’ve sent If there was misinterpretation in what you’ve read I hate chocolates and this lame stuffed bear Love’s a Valentine’s massacre waiting to happen And maybe your heart could use a little breaking in When you’re man is out of town on business again And its Saturday night with no where to go But you’re in love and always waiting on him But that’s a story I don’t care to see how it ends You're bored and lonely and in need of a friend Did I mention that I’m not a preacher? I’ve no concern for any of your sins I’ve been in love many times before And it’ll happen again and many times more Live and learn they say Don’t ask if I’m scared cuz I’d say I don’t think so I've been waiting here for you To get say it's time to begin cuz My heart’s been already broken in For you to come and fit right in |
And they tell it to anyone with [and] ear to hear = an? this is quite gorgeous. i like the beat poetry like thing youve got going on before you start singing... its kinda like a prologue... gives the song more of a foundation [even though it stands well on its own] i like the idea of a heart needing broken in. like a horse or a pair of shoes. and i think that its prolly an accurate idea in some ways coz even though there's willingness to love sometimes there are things we need to learn to love about the other... i enjoyed the tension in this piece... the idea that she wasnt anything special, that she was someone elses and yet you had half a thing... trying to convince her [and perhaps yourself] that there could be more though telling her at the same time that she isnt "the one" exactly... there'll be many more loves after her... i dont know... theres honesty in this song that is reinforced by ray lamontagne who is singing 'i could hold you in my arms/ i could hold you forever' right this moment in my ear... | Posted on 2008-05-18 00:00:00 | by Someones Epiphany | [ Reply to This ] | i like this a lot minstrelboy.. | it's so sad and heart-breaking, and there is a kind of acceptance or surrender to the fact that hearts have been broken, and they will break again. i wish so much that i could hear this. i've tried on your MySpace, but i can't get the music.. it's so good to see you writing and playing. are you playing any gigs? do you have a band that you're working with? fill me in, will ya? another saturday night, isn't it?.. i'm here, with my heart already haven been broken into as well.. love&blessings to you, ~Cat | Posted on 2007-03-03 00:00:00 | by magnicat | [ Reply to This ] | |
