Friday Song Lyrics

It's been much too long...

1) On My Way by O.A.R.

Don't fear the morning
It's okay, it's okay
Hurt weighs heavy
It's okay, it's okay
When your body's cold and shaking
I'll steer you Darlin', steer you
When your body's old and aging
I'll heal you Darlin', heal you

Your soul lights the day
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
When you're so filled with pain
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
And Baby, Baby it's just me

Look out the window
Past the Pines
Through the rain
Oh skies will open, let sun shine
On your face
When your mind is old and fading
I'll heal you Darlin', heal you

Your soul lights the day
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
When you're so filled with pain
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
And Baby, Baby it's just me

In a matter of, in a matter of days, we'll find love
In a matter of, in a matter of days, we'll find love
And Baby, Baby that's just love
And Baby, Baby it's just me

Your soul lights the day
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
When you're so filled with pain
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
And its gonna get easier on you
And its gonna get easier on you
And its gonna get easier on you
Now it's got to get easier on your soul
Soul, soul, soul
Your soul lights the way, lights the way
I'm on my way
And Baby, Baby it's just me


2) Set Down Your Glass by Snow Patrol

Just close your eyes
And count to five
Let's craft the only thing we know into surprise
Set down your glass

I painted this
To look like you and me forever as we're now
And I'm shaking and I'm still
When you're eyes meet mine all the simple skills
Like to tell you all I want, is love

You say I'm cold
I'm just not the same
As I was a year ago
And each minute since then

My jumper tears
As we take off
You say you'll sew me good as new
And I know you will

And I'm shaking and I'm still
When your eyes meet mine all the simple skills
Like to tell you all I want, is love

And I'm shaking and I'm still
When your eyes meet mine all the simple skills
Like to tell you all I want, is love

3) Come on Get Higher by Matt Nathanson

I miss the sound of your voice
And I miss the rush of your skin
And I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in
If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe
I'd make you forget

So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

I miss the sound of your voice
The loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet, perfect words that you said
If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe
I'd make you forget

So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

I miss the pull of your heart
I taste the sparks on your tongue
I see angels and devils and God, when you come on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
Singin' sha la la la
Singin' sha la la la la

So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me, drown me in love

So wrong, So wrong
So wrong, So right
So come on, get higher
So come on and get higher
'Cause everything works, love
Everything works in your arms

4) I'm Yours by Jason Mraz

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, now I'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out, I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love

Listen to the music of the moment people, dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate, our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do
But do you want to come on
Scooch on over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed

I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Come on and open up your mind and see like me
(I won't hesitate)
Open up your plans and damn you're free
(No more, no more)
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
(It cannot wait, I'm sure)

So please don't, there's no need
(There's no need to complicate)
There's no need to complicate
(Our time is short)
'Cause our time is short
(This is our fate)
This is, this is, this is our fate
I'm yours

Oh, I'm yours
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, whoa, baby you believe I'm yours
You best believe, best believe I'm yours

It's Not Just About the Sparkle

This weekend, WG and I set the date, and we're very excited, but mostly relieved that we can tell friends and family where and when we're getting hitched.

People have seemed astonished that we were able to set a date within three weeks of getting engaged, but we're ready. Plus, we know that we want to get married this summer, which means that we needed to get to work, folks. I'm actually really proud of us for finding a place, getting my parents to see it (the people who write the checks SHOULD have some say, right?) and then signing all the paperwork.

It's real, everybody.

I have a wedding party, a wedding date, a wedding location...

My officiant fell through, though, as the archaic rules of the Catholic Church will not let him officiate the wedding of a Catholic (that would be me) outside of a church. And, since we're getting married outdoors and totally not at a church, this means that we're in search of an officiant. One item checked off the list (location), and another that just got added...

It's not all about the sparkly diamonds, or the centerpieces or even about the dress, this wedding is about saying out loud and in front of our loved ones that we're going to stick it out through thick and thin.

And I truly feel like "for better or worse," or, at least "in sickness and in health" has already started.

On Monday evening, WG told me that he'd found a pimple-sized cyst on his body. On Tuesday, the doctor called it an infection and sent WG on his way with some antibiotics. By Wednesday, the cyst was the size of a fingerling potato (look it up, I dare you). And on Thursday, he was resting on my couch, pumped through with vicodin after having the cyst removed.

This relationship is about so much more than diamonds.
