You accompanied me

Today, well, it's passed midnight. So perhaps to say "the past 24 hours" instead would be much more apt.

Well, it's been a fast one. And the next would be no different. But I managed to let these songs fill the much appreciated gaps when I was alone.


And I know | I may end up failing too | But I know | You were just like me | With someone disappointed in you


I'll promise love without end | I'll believe myself | If I can | And like a baby soft and helpless | I won't ask questions | The illusion is lasting | Such beautiful masking | We see it all the time | It's all just varying degrees of con-artistry | But no one seems to mind | No one seems to mind

And for the third song....I can't seem to pick out the one stanza or line that really do the song justice. So here's The Space Between by The Dave Matthews Band in completeness.....

You cannot quit me so quickly
Is no hope in you for me
No corner you could squeeze me
But I got all the time for you, love
The Space Between
The tears we cry
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The Space Between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep us safe from the pain

But will I hold you again?
These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like 'Will it rain today?'
Waste the hours with talking, talking
These twisted game we play

We're strange allies
With warring hearts
What wild-eyed beast you be
The Space Between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep us safe from the pain

Will I hold you again?
Will I hold...

Look at us spinning out in
The madness of a roller coaster
You know you went off like a devil
In a church in the middle of a crowded room
All we can do, my love
Is hope we don't take this ship down

The Space Between
Where you're smiling high
Is where you'll find me if I get tickled
The Space Between
The bullets in our firefight
Is where I'll be hiding, waiting for you
The rain that falls
Splash in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window into your room
The Space Between
Our wicked lies
Is where we hope to keep safe from pain

Take my hand
'Cause we're walking out of here
Oh, right out of here
Love is all we need here
The Space Between
What's wrong and right
Is where you'll find me hiding, waiting for you
The Space Between
Your heart and mine
Is the space we'll fill with time
The Space Between

Sometimes I worry about forgetting songs that I really like. And when I do hear them again, I realise that I actually missed them terribly. It's weird to me like that. That I didn't actually missed them, not until I realise that they were missed. Sigh....the silly stuff I worry about. No wonder my blood pressure never really went down.
