Post 33

I've been listening to this one bright eye's song, The First Day Of My Life, a lot lately. I've considered it one of my favorites for a really long time now, but I never listened to the lyrics, I just heard them and repeated them. They are as follows:
This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach

Yours was the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
I don't know where I am, I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go

So I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever, I am especially slow
But I realized how I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

I remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
You felt as if you just woke up

And you said,
"This is the first day of my life.
Glad I didn't die before i met you.
Now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you.
And I'd probably be happy."

So if you want to be with me
With these things there's no telling,
We'll just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery

Besides, maybe this time is different
I mean, I really think you like me

there are a few versus of this song, that i would like to go into detail about.

"So I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever, I am especially slow
But I realized how I need you
And I wondered if I could come home"

Shane, this explains everything, these few little lines, really explain a lot, especially how i was feeling when i was gone, I just want you to know that. I love you.

"And you said,
"This is the first day of my life.
Glad I didn't die before i met you.
Now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you.
And I'd probably be happy.""

Megan and Heather (and all of my other close friends), these words are to you. You have all made such an impact on my life; we've helped each other through thick and thin, it is almost like "'till death do us part". I want you guys to remember I'll always be there for you, no matter what.

I feel like I don't give my friends enough attention. I know it is hard when you have friends all over the country, but now that is me making excuses, all of my friends text, with the exception of Megan, and the majority of the people i need to keep in contact with have phone numbers, and email; looks like I've got some dialing to do.
