would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Can't do sappy, it's already been done far too well...

Maybe I love Grey's Anatomy, and maybe I love myspace. Maybe I love this site (my own fotolog, as I choose to call it, eschewing the word 'blog').

Put all those things together, and you have a skeezy guy who posts photos of himself naked on a sand dune. Nothing snaps one out of a drunken-self-pity-fest faster than seeing that. Or faster than that, coupled with having had the idea of posting those song lyrics on myspace, only to find it's been posted by that guy. (Pay particular attention to the part where I don't know how to say what I feel. If it weren't so trite, I'd want credit for that.)

And so with that I leave you, laughing.

"If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?"
