I'd Lie

  • Pick 10 people, 5 female and 5 male.
  • Now, think of something you'd like to tell them, ask them, show them, etc. 
  • Don't address it to them and don't put the "letters" in any particular order. 
  • Also, no one is allowed to ask you who's who!

[I'm gong to add these one day at a time to link the songs with the entries together.(Also to think about what I'm going to write to each person!)]

Person #4:

Not until recently, I realized that I've been listening to songs that remind me of you constantly (and not on purpose).

One thing that I notice is, whenever we talk or hangout, we get along almost perfectly.  I've always wanted to point this out to you, but sometimes I find myself rethinking what I want to say because I'm afraid of how you're react (not always though).  I know I shouldn't think this way, because you're you and you won't (at least I think you won't) judge me or not like me over something so little.

So, going back to the song thing I mentioned before, the song (that should be) playing is a perfect example.  I don't know where to begin with it because the whole song is perfect (with a few exceptions of course).  It make me think about you, a lot.  It also makes me want to be near you, just because.  It makes me want to tell you all about it, and show you how neat it is that a song can reflect someone so well.

Obviously the point of this little "project" that I have going on here is to tell you something that I either: am too shy to say out loud, haven't gotten the chance to say, or have been meaning to say and keep forgetting to.  Now, a few people can already guess who this letter is to (if not by the song itself, already).  But I guess that's okay because no one is supposed to ask!

So that thing I've been meaning to tell you (this seems sort of silly now, but oh well) is that I have a gift for you.  And I've had it for quite a few months now, but I haven't had the chance/the nerve to give it to you.  I'm not sure if/when I'll ever give it to you though.  But there, I said it and got it off my chest.

And here's the song for those of you interested in the lyrics:

I don't think that passenger seat
Has ever looked this good to me
He tells me about his night
And I count the colors in his eyes

He'll never fall in love
He swears, as he runs his fingers through his hair
I'm laughing 'cause I hope he's wrong
And I don't think it ever crossed his mind
He tells a joke, I fake a smile
But I know all his favorite songs

[Chorus]
And I could tell you
His favorite color's green
He likes to argue
Born on the seventeenth
His sister's beautiful
He has his father's eyes
And if you ask me if I love him... 
I'd lie

He looks around the room
Innocently overlooks the truth
Shouldn't a light go on
Doesn't he know
That I've had him memorized for so long

He sees everything in black and white
Never let nobody see him cry
I don't let nobody see me wishing he was mine

[Chorus]

He stands there, then walks away
My God, if I could only say
I'm holding every breath for you

He'd never tell you, 
But he can play guitar
I think he can see through
Everything but my heart
First thought when I wake up is
My God, he's beautiful
So I put on my make-up
And pray for a miracle

Yes I could tell you
[Chorus]

i just want to tell you that this song is perfect.

for everyone.
in every way.

its so weird because i was reading the lyrics and i was thinking of someone the whole time and i didnt even notice until it mentioned a certain day. how ironic, because the person i was thinking of was born on that day. weird, i know.

but i know how you feel with the whole "having a song that reminds you of a certain person, that fits them perfectly" thing. i actually do that with a lot of music. to the point where i hear 5 seconds of a song and all sorts of memories are flooding through my mind. but yea. i enjoy reading these :] keep em coming :D (as i know you will)
