Sweetest thing. Ever.

Nick and I talked for a pretty long time last night, mostly about what we had done over the weekend, and plans for the week. At one point there was kind of a break in the conversation and he said, "Well, I hate to be all mushy and stuff, but I heard this song yesterday on my way home from work and it reminded me of you. Of us." He had the artist wrong at first, but went out to his truck to get the CD so he could tell me what song it was. Turns out it's a Tim McGraw song off the "Set This Circus Down" CD, which I bought when it was released in 2001 for one song, and one song only-"Angry All the Time". I don't think I ever listened to the entire thing because the song he was talking about was totally new to me. As I was listening to it I got tears in my eyes, which happens a lot these days, but that song said things to me that I know Nick never would have been able to. And that makes my heart more happy than you could ever know.

Take Me Away From Here

My body burns
Like there’s a desert deep in me
A thirsty soul so unsatisfied
But there you are like a river to the sea
The one chance I have to change my life...
Darlin',

Take my away from here
Make it seem like we're a million miles away
Another time another place
Make me a different man
Move me farther than I’ve ever been before
Show me thats there's somethin' more

Sometimes I feel like I’m trapped inside myself
Spinning wheels goin up and down, 'round and 'round
Going nowere just like everybody else
With no touch, no sight, no sound
But you could

Take me away from here
Make it seem like we’re a million miles away
Another time another place
Make me a different man
Move me farther than I’ve been before
Show me that’s there somethin more

Give me hopes and .
dreams to fill my head
Push my heart,
so I can fly again

Take me away from here
Make it seem like we’re a million miles away
Another time another place
Make me a different man
Move me farther than I’ve been before
Show me that’s there’s something more

Take me away from here
Take me away from here
Take me away from here
Take me away from here

Oh yay! If I were a betting woman, I'd bet on butterflies for sure!

Thank you, Renee. Apparently, people who don't know me, or anything about my life except for what they read here found it necessary to comment. That delete button kicks ass.
