1000 Things

And I’m, I’m over-joyed
And I’m, I’m over-loved
And I’m feeling lucky like a little boy
Who’s hiding under cover
And looking to discover
Every way to play the part inside this darkened cave
The meaning of life, well it starts at the nightlight
Close your eyes and I hope you see mine

And I’ve, well I’ve seen a thousand things in one place
But I stopped my counting when I saw your face
Erasing memory, well I feel as though I’ve never seen a face
before
Until I saw your eyes
And they’re smiling back at me through my tears
I’ve been counting all these years, oh
Suddenly the thousand things I’ve seen were nothing more than
dreams of
Of you and me
You and me
Quietly at a standstill now
Fortunately you will, well you’ll kiss me, I will
I will kiss you back

Oh the fact of the matter is
And I don’t know what the latter is, oh no way
See, I’ve always wanted to kiss you
But I, I always wanted to run from you
Because I’ve always wanted to miss you
And I, I always wanted to come for you

“Well I love my comfort foods,” you said
While you always say, “How do you do?”

You and I Both

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me?
Oh, things are gonna happen naturally
Oh, taking your advice and I’m looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing

Oh, but at often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright light turns to night
Oh, until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

‘Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
Others only read of the love or the love that I love

See, I’m all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive

‘Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now,

Oh, love, love, you and I, you and I
Not so little you and I anymore, mm mm
And with this silence brings a moral story
more importantly evolving is the glory of a boy

‘Cause you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see now
well then I’m almost finally out of
Finally ou-ou-out of
Finally din-di-di-dit-dit-dee
Well, I’m almost finally finally, well I am free, oh, I’m free

And it’s okay if you had to go away
Oh, just remember the telephones, well they work in both ways
But if I never, ever hear them ring
If nothing else I’ll think the bells inside
have finally found you someone else and that’s okay
’cause I’ll remember everything you sang

‘Cause you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see now
well then I’m already finally out of
Finally ou-ou-out of
Finally did-di-di-dit-dit-dee
Well, I’m almost finally finally, well, out of words.

I’ve been doing a lot of mental diving lately. These two songs by Jason Mraz speak of the trip very well. Took a short walk down the memory lane, too.
