I don't know about youse guys, but I began to realize that I was moving forward -- that I'd become a Walking Towards Person -- when I started to really enjoy hearing music again. And, because of a completely random confluence of thoughts, events, and weather, my New Moment started with a song in my head.
Now I have an iTunes playlist called "Theme Songs," which I use to motivate and mojolate from time-to-time.
SO. Let's hear your Theme Songs, just to take our minds off of the nuances of our situations and frustrations and cross-mojolations.
Rules of the Thread.
1. Title and artist. We want to know which version of the Theme Song you like / inspires you / makes you feel all moto and, more importantly, we want to give appropriate credit where credit is due.
2. A one-sentence (and not a Smiley's Person-style 10,000-word sentence, either! ) explanation of why this is your theme song.
3. If you have multiple Theme Songs, as I have, at which stage of your process was A or B more important and, again in one sentence, explain why.
Now why am I bothering with this silly notion? Simple. I have found -- and I'm willing to bet many of you have, as well -- that sometimes it is so nice to just sit back and let the music wash over you. It's not just a distraction -- it can be an inspiration.
I'll lead by example and go first, in the next post.
A) "I Can See Clearly Now," Jimmy Cliff B) "So Sad About Us," The Jam (covering The Who) C) "Ripple," Grateful Dead D) "Casual Conversations," Supertramp E) "Consider Me Gone," Sting [most recent addition]
Why this is your theme song
A) The theme song that made it happen for me -- the rain was gone (literally), and when that happened (in Big Midwestern City) I could suddenly see the road ahead.
B) I like The Jam's version because to my ears it does a better job than The Who's original version of capturing the resignation in the lyrics, and it was important for me to feel resigned to my sitch in order to move forward.
C) Quiet, reflection, "that path is for your steps alone" -- almost Buddhist in the sense of going with the flow (see B).
D) A brave song that essentially says "I'm done" with all this nonsense -- it's boring now, so I'll move ahead on my own.
E) "Consider me gone" -- hey WAW, you want to leave, that's okay, but don't look back because you won't see me standing there.
At which stage of your process was A or B more important.
"So Sad About Us" -- the start, because it was lamenting the loss
"I Can See Clearly Now" -- the start of the end, because it's all about Fresh Eyes and Seeing Anew
"Consider Me Gone" -- today, tomorrow, and always (?), because it says I am on a Mission For Me -- full stop.
Well you know those times When you feel like there's a sign there on your back Says I don't mind if ya kick me Seems like everybody has Things go from bad to worse You'd think they can't get worse than that And then they do
You step off the straight and narrow And you don't know where you are Use the needle of your compass To sew up your broken heart Ask directions from a genie In a bottle of Jim Beam And she lies to you That's when you learn the truth
If you're going through hell Keep on going, don't slow down If you're scared, don't show it You might get out Before the devil even knows you're there
Well I been deep down in that darkness I been down to my last match Felt a hundred different demons Breathing fire down my back And I knew that if I stumbled I'd fall right into the trap that they were laying, yeah
But the good news Is there's angels everywhere out on the street Holding out a hand to pull you back up on your feet The one's that you've been dragginig for so long You're on your knees You maight as well be praying Guess what I'm saying
If your going through hell Keep on going, don't slow down If you're scared don't show it You might get out Before the devil even knows you're there
Yeah, If you're going through hell Keep on moving, face that fire Walk right through it You might get out Before the devil even knows you're there
It just fits what I've been trying to do don't dwell just keep moving forward.

"We are all faced with a series of great opportunities brilliantly disguised as insoluble problems."
You have to crank up to 11! Helped me in the "I can handle it" phase, early seperation.
I'm gonna walk by faith Gonna raise my sword I'm gonna fight my battle I'm gonna praise my Lord
It's getting heavy But I'm ready To take on this world and rock steady So come on, bring it on
I'm gonna face my demons Gonna tear them down I'm gonna keep on moving Gonna make my sound
It's getting heavy But I'm ready To take on this world and rock steady So come on, bring it on
Bring it on Oh bring it on Bring it on Oh bring it on
Bring it on Oh bring it on Bring it on Oh bring it on...
I have another one by a band called The Codetalkers that I have to get the lyrics to called "Saved by the Same Thing" great tune, interesting lyrics. I'll post it later.
M22,H45,W45 S21/18D12 Retain faith that you will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties and at the same time confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.
I'm still in the first few weeks here, and trying to stay detached, so here's what I've got on my playlist:
A) "But, Honestly" - The Foo Fighters B) "One" - U2 (but I like the Mary J. Blige version because there's a lot more emotion) C) "So What" - Pink D) "Pork and Beans" - Weezer
A) This song really seems to hit home - starts slow and acoustic, singing about someone who is not acting like they should... The volume and drums escalate as he sings "And tonight I thank the stars/as I count my lucky scars/for everything you've given me/and all the words I gave to you/something borrowed, something blue/if you want them back I give it to you" and then he's shouting at the end "I don't want one thing that I gave to you"
Helped me to detach - Fine, you don't want me? Take it all back. I don't want it.
B) One love - we get to share it - it leaves you if you don't care for it... You act like you never had love, and you want me to go without...
C) Because I'm even more a rock star than I was when we were together . "I'm going to show you tonight, I'm alright, I'm just fine, and you're a tool!"
D) I'ma do the things that I wanna do, I ain't got a thing to prove to you... I ain't gonna wear the clothes that you like, I'm finally dandy with the me inside! One look in the mirror, and I'm tickled pink...
Me - 30, H - 32 T - 10, M - 6, D - 1 DD#1 - 4, DD#2 - 2 on/off OW 4/09 - sometime Summer 2010 (Told me about OW 4/10) Separated 6/11/09, divorced 8/4/10, trying again 9/2011

1. Devendra Banhart- Feel Just Like a Child (plays in my head when H is around)
Well I feel just like a child Yeah I feel just like a child Well I feel just like a child Well I feel just like a child From my womb to my tomb I guess I'll always be a child Well some people try and treat me like a man Yeah some people try and treat me like a man Weel I guess they just don't understand Well some people try and treat me like a man They think I know [censored] But that's just it I'm a child Weel I need you to tell me what to wear Yeah I need you to help me comb my hair Yeah I need you to come and tie my shoes Yeah I need you to come and keep me amused From my cave to my grave I guess I'll always be a child Well I need you to help me reach the door And I need you to walk me to the store And I need you to please explain the war And I need you to heal me when I'm sore You can tell by my smile That I'm a child And I need you to sit me on your lap And I need you to make me take my nap Could you first pull out a book and Read me some of that Cause I need you to make me take my nap And I need you to recognize my friends Cause they're there even though You don't see them They got their own chair, plate, and a seat You know I won't touch my food Unless they eat From the roof to the floor I crawl around some more I'm a child And I need you to help me blow my nose And I need you to help me count my toes And I need you to help me put on my clothes And I need you to hide it when it shows From be my daddy's sperm To being packed in an urn I'm a child And when I steal you gotta Slap me til I cry Don't you stop til the tears run dry See I was born thinking under the sky I didn't belong to a couple of old wise guys From sucking on my mama's breast To when they lay my soul to rest I'm a child Well I guess I'm always be
2. Radiohead- Creep (how I've felt; I've indulged in listening to this in my less mojolific moments)
When you were here before Couldn't look you in the eye You're just like an angel Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world I wish I was special You're so f*cking special
But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts I want to have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul I want you to notice when I'm not around You're so f*cking special I wish I was special
But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell I'm doing here? I don't belong here
She's running out the door She's running out She runs runs runs
Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want You're so [censored] special I wish I was special
But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here I don't belong here
3. The Guess Who-American Woman (that intro makes me feel mojolific and accepting of H leaving)
American Woman, stay away from me American Woman, mama let me be Don't come a hangin' around my door I don't wanna see your face no more I got more important things to do Than spend my time growin' old with you Now Woman, I said stay away American Woman, listen what I say-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
American Woman, get away from me American Woman, mama let me be Don't come a knockin' around my door Don't wanna see your shadow no more Coloured lights can hypnotize Sparkle someone else's eyes Now Woman, I said get away American Woman, listen what I say-ay-ay-ay
American Woman, said get away American Woman, listen what I say Don't come a hangin' around my door Don't wanna see your face no more I don't need your war machines I don't need your ghetto scenes Coloured lights can hypnotize Sparkle someone else's eyes Now Woman, get away from me American Woman, mama let me be
Go, gotta get away, gotta get away now go, go, go I'm gonna leave you woman Gonna leave you woman Bye-bye Bye-bye Bye-bye Bye-bye You're no good for me I'm no good for you Gonna look you right in the eye Tell you what I'm gonna do You know I'm gonna leave You know I'm gonna go You know I'm gonna leave You know I'm gonna go-o, woman I'm gonna leave you woman Goodbye American Woman Goodbye American chick
4. U2- One (cheesy but spot on)
Is it getting better Or do you feel the same Will it make it easier on you now You got someone to blame You say...
One love One life When it's one need In the night One love We get to share it Leaves you baby if you Don't care for it
Did I disappoint you Or leave a bad taste in your mouth You act like you never had love And you want me to go without Well it's...
Too late Tonight To drag the past out into the light We're one, but we're not the same We get to Carry each other Carry each other One...
Have you come here for forgiveness Have you come to raise the dead Have you come here to play Jesus To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much More than a lot You gave me nothing Now it's all I got We're one But we're not the same Well we Hurt each other Then we do it again You say Love is a temple Love a higher law Love is a temple Love the higher law You ask me to enter But then you make me crawl And I can't be holding on To what you got When all you got is hurt
One love One blood One life You got to do what you should One life With each other Sisters Brothers One life But we're not the same We get to Carry each other Carry each other
One...life
One
5. Stop That Train- Peter Tosh (sometimes it is about H and once in a while I'm hearing it from my POV)
Stop that train I'm leaving Stop that train I'm leaving Stop that train I'm leaving It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong I said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
All my good life I've been a lonely man Teaching the people who don't overstan' And even though I've tried my bes' I still don't find no happiness
Stop that train I'm leaving Stop that train I'm leaving Stop that train I'm leaving It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong Said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
Some goin' east Some goin' west Some step aside to try their best Some livin' big But the most livin' small They just can't even find No food at all
Stop that train I'm leaving Stop that train I'm leaving Stop that train I'm leaving It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong Said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong
Stop that train I'm leaving...
6. Beck- Loser (fun to blast it and think of H)
In the time of chimpanzees I was a monkey Butane in my veins and Im out to cut the junkie With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose Kill the headlights and put it in neutral Stock car flamin with a loser and the cruise control Babys in reno with the vitamin d Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat Someone came in sayin Im insane to complain About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt Dont believe everything that you breathe You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve So shave your face with some mace in the dark Savin all your food stamps and burnin down the trailer park
Yo. cut it.
Soy un perdedor Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me?
Soy un perdedor Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me?
Forces of evil on a bozo nightmare Ban all the music with a phony gas chamber cuz ones got a weasel and the others got a flag Ones on the pole, shove the other in a bag With the rerun shows and the cocaine nose-job The daytime crap of the folksinger slob He hung himself with a guitar string A slab of turkey-neck and its hangin from a pigeon wing You cant write if you cant relate Trade the cash for the beef for the body for the hate And my time is a piece of wax fallin on a termite Thats chokin on the splinters
Soy un perdedor Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me? (get crazy with the cheese whiz) Soy un perdedor Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me? (drive-by body-pierce) (yo bring it on down) Soooooooyy....
(Im a driver, Im a winner; things are gonna change I can feel it)
Soy un perdedor Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me? (I cant believe you) Soy un perdedor Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me? Soy un perdedor Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me? (schprechen sie deutches, baby) Soy un perdedor Im a loser baby, so why dont you kill me? (know what Im sayin? )
7. Bonnie Rait (yep, that's right)- I Can't Make you Love Me (this is the mother-load of pain...just cry it out)
Turn down the lights, turn down the bed Turn down these voices inside my head Lay down with me, tell me no lies Just hold me close, dont patronize - dont patronize me
Chorus: cause I cant make you love me if you dont You cant make your heart feel something it wont Here in the dark, in these lonely hours I will lay down my heart and Ill feel the power But you wont, no you wont cause I cant make you love me, if you dont
Ill close my eyes, then I wont see The love you dont feel when youre holding me [Ouch, that hurts] Morning will come and Ill do whats right Just give me till then to give up this fight And I will give up this fight Chorus: cause I cant make you love me if you dont You cant make your heart feel something it wont Here in the dark, in these lonely hours I will lay down my heart and Ill feel the power But you wont, no you wont cause I cant make you love me, if you dont
8. Carole King- It's Too Late (when you want to imbibe and take a few extra sleeping pills; I'm not pointing at anyone)
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time There's something wrong here There can be no denying One of us is changing Or maybe we've just stopped trying
And it's too late baby, now it's too late Though we really did try to make it Something inside has died and I can't hide And I just can't fake it
It used to be so easy living here with you You were light and breezy And I knew just what to do Now you look so unhappy And I feel like a fool
And it's too late baby, now it's too late Though we really did try to make it Something inside has died and I can't hide it And I just can't fake it
There'll be good times again for me and you But we just can't stay together Don't you feel it too Still I'm glad for what we had And how I once loved you
But it's too late baby, now it's too late Though we really did try to make it Something inside has died and I can't hide And I just can't fake it
Don't you know that I... I just can't fake it Oh it's too late my baby Too late my baby You know It's too late my baby
And, piece de resistance , when the mojo gets flowing-
9. Gloria Gaynor - I will Survive (oh ya, sing it with me!)
First I was afraid I was petrified Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side But I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong I grew strong I learned how to carry on and so you're back from outer space I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed my stupid lock I should have made you leave your key If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Go on now go walk out the door just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye you think I'd crumble you think I'd lay down and die Oh no, not I I will survive as long as i know how to love I know I will stay alive I've got all my life to live I've got all my love to give and I'll survive I will survive
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart and I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself I used to cry Now I hold my head up high and you see me somebody new I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you and so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
I have one as well that I listen to on full blast sometimes 20 times a day...It keeps me going even in the darkest of hours...
Tim McGraw - Let It Go
I致e been caught sideways out here on the crossroads Trying to buy back the pieces I lost of my soul It痴 hard when the devil won稚 get off your back It痴 like carrying around the past in a hundred pound sack
{Chorus} Today I知 gonna keep on walking I知 gonna hold my head up high I知 gonna leave it all behind Today I知 gonna stand out in the rain Let it wash it all away Yeah wash it all away I知 gonna let it go Oh yeah I知 gonna let it go Oh yeah
Skeletons and Ghosts are hiding in the shadows Threatening me with all the things that they know Choices and mistakes, they all know my name But I知 through holding in and holding onto all that pain
Today I知 gonna keep on walking I知 gonna hold my head up high Got No more tears to cry Today I知 gonna stand out in the rain Let it wash it all away Yeah wash it all away I知 gonna let it go Oh yeah I知 gonna let it go Oh yeah
And I know I know I know I know I致e been forgiven I know I know I know I知 gonna start living Today I知 gonna keep on walking I知 gonna hold my head up high I知 gonna leave it all behind Today I知 gonna stand out in the rain Let it wash it all away Yeah wash it all away I知 gonna let it go Oh yeah I知 gonna let it go Oh yeah I知 gonna let it go Oh yeah Oh yeah
May All Who Seek To Take My Life Be Put To Shame And Confusion; May All Who Desire My Ruin Be Turned Back In Disgrace. ~Psalm 40:14~
SP, you are a man after my own heart (((ahem))) -- so to speak. I LOVE the thread idea!!
For me, music is huge, and plays a central role in my moods. If I'm down, I tend to want to play sad songs that will make me MORE down, let myself wallow for awhile in my melancholy, before playing some upbeat stuff to lift me out of it. Many songs were a part of my marital journey, and I wrote a bunch myself (some of which I've posted). But here are a few:
1. "Something Beautiful" -- Newsboys. A song of hope which celebrates in the joyful shout of "THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH ME!".
It's a voice that whispers my name It's a kiss without any shame Something beautiful(Yeah Yeah) Like a song that stirs in my head Singing love will take us where Somethings beautiful 2. "Trapped" -- written by Jimmy Cliff but as performed live by Bruce Springsteen. Speaks to the hurt and resentment of a SSM, and of feeling trapped inside the marriage, but also is hopeful (and even defiant) in its line of "... but I'll teach my eyes to see, beyond these walls in front of me / and someday I'll walk outta here again . . . "
3. "They Rage On" -- a song of adultery by Dan Seals. Not sure why I like to listen to it, as it's a song that somewhat glamorizes infidelity, other than it's a great song and maybe I like to torture myself.
On the same dark night two more people meet In a rented room on a cross town street And she's lost her youth and he's lost his dreams But for a while they feel like they used to feel 4. "Does Anybody Hear Her?" -- Casting Crowns. A haunting song about a wayward woman, and which condemns those who ignore her hurt in their own self-righteousness. It just reminded me so much of my own wife, and her struggles.
She is running A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction She is trying But the canyon's ever widening In the depths of her cold heart So she sets out on another misadventure just to find She's another two years older And she's three more steps behind
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see? Or does anybody even know she's going down today Under the shadow of our steeple With all the lost and lonely people Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
She is yearning For shelter and affection That she never found at home She is searching For a hero to ride in To ride in and save the day And in walks her prince charming And he knows just what to say Momentary lapse of reason And she gives herself away 5. "All These Years" -- Sawyer Brown. Speaks from both the cheating spouse and the betrayed spouse's perspectives, and I like how they both face the abyss and turn away from it, realizing how much they stand to lose:
She likes adventure with security And more than one man can provide She planned adventure feeling sure that he Would not be home 'till after five He turned on the lights and turned them off again And said the one thing he could say
All these years Where have I been Well I've been down the rode to work and home again And I'm still here Untill I'm gone Don't you rub it in too hard that I've been wrong All these years
She said, "You're not the man you used to be" He said, "Neither is this guy" She said, "There's some things you refuse to see But I guess sometimes so do I" She made no excuse why she was lying there She said the one thing she could say
All these years What have I done I made your supper and your daughter and your son Still I'm here And still confused But I can finally see how much I stand to lose All these years
I'm still here And so confused But I can finally see how much I stand to lose All these years
Love Bites - Def Leppard When you make love, do you look in the mirror? Who do you think of, does he look like me? Do you tell lies and say that it's forever? Do you think twice, or just touch 'n' see? Oooh babe When you're alone, do you let go? Are you wild 'n' willin' or is it just for show? Ooh c'mon I don't wanna touch you too much baby Cause making love to you might drive me crazy I know you think that love is the way you make it So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it No Love bites, love bleeds It's bringin' me to my knees Love leaves, love dies It's no surprise Love begs, love pleads It's what I need When I'm with you, are you somewhere else? Am I gettin' thru or do you please yourself? When you wake up, will you walk out? It can't be love if you throw it about I don't wanna touch you too much baby 'Cause making love to you might drive me crazy Love bites, love bleeds It's bringin' me to my knees Love leaves, love dies It's no surprise Love begs, love pleads It's what I need I don't wanna touch you too much baby 'Cos making love to you might drive me crazy I know you think that love is the way you make it So I don't wanna be there when you decide to break it No Love bites, love bleeds It's bringin' me to my knees Love leaves, love dies Love bites, love bleeds It's bringin' me to my knees Love leaves, love dies It's no surprise Love begs, love pleads It's what I need
Homewrecker - Gretchen Wilson Well you're a real hot cookie with a new hairdo Your high heel boots and your credit card Long legs and a mini skirt Yeah you know what works and you work it hard You smile like such a lady innocent and sweet You drive the men folk crazy, But any girl can see You're just a
Homewrecker I know what you're doin' You think you're gonna ruin what I got, But you're not Yeah you little go getter I'll teach you a lesson If you get to messin' with my man You don't stand a chance No, you're just a homewrecker
I'm sure you waited for a long, long time To find a man like mine But honey you're too late So before you go and make your move Maybe me and you should get a few things straight There's two ways we can do this I'll let you decide You can take it somewhere else or we can take it outside you little
Now honey I'm a Christian, But if you keep it up I'm gonna go to kickin' your pretty little butt Is that clear enough yeah, you little
All I Want Is Everything - Def Leppard
I don't know how to leave you And I don't know how to stay I've got things that I must tell you That I don't know how to say
The man behind these empty words Is crying out in shame Holding on to this sinking ship When nothing else remains
All I want is everything Am I asking too much? All I want is everything Like the feel of your touch But all I have are yesterdays Tomorrow never comes
It's hard to hold your head up When you're kneeling down to pray And the talking dooesn't come easy now When the words get in the way And if you could see what's going on Behind these private eyes The truth would look so easy now But I'm running out of lies
You think the shadow of doubt Is hangin' over my head It's just an angel whose wings hide the sun And it's myself I betray I can not wish this away Took my chance now the damage is done
All I want is everything Am I asking too much? All I want is everything Like the feel, the feel of your touch When all I have are yesterdays Tomorrow never comes
Ooh, oooh Ooh, oooh
What Hurts the Most - Rascal Flatts
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house That don't bother me I can take a few tears now and then and just let ?em out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while even though Goin' on with you gone still upsets me There are days every now and again I pretend I'm okay But that's not what gets me
What hurts the most Was being so close And havin' so much to say And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin' What could've been And not seein' that lovin' you Is what I was tryin' to do
It's hard to deal with the pain of losin' you everywhere I go But I'm doin' it It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone Still harder gettin' up, gettin' dressed, livin' with this regret But I know if I could do it over I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart That I left unspoken
What hurts the most Is being so close And havin' so much to say (Much to say) And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin' What could've been And not seein' that lovin' you Is what I was tryin' to do, oh Oh yeah
What hurts the most Was being so close And havin' so much to say (To say) And watchin' you walk away
And never knowin' What could've been And not seein' that lovin' you Is what I was tryin' to do
Not seein' that lovin' you That's what I was trying to do, ooo
The Fray - You Found Me Lyrics
I found god On the corner of first and Amistad Where the west was all but won All alone, smoking his last cigarette I Said where you been, he said ask anything Where were you? When everything was falling apart All my days were spent by the telephone It never rang And all I needed was a call That never came To the corner of first and Amistad Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lying on the floor Surrounded, surrounded Why壇 you have to wait? Where were you? Where were you? Just a little late You found me, you found me In the end everyone ends up alone Losing her, the only one who痴 ever known Who I am, who I知 not, who I want to be No way to know how long she will be next to me Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lying on the floor Surrounded, surrounded Why壇 you have to wait? Where were you, where were you? Just a little late You found me, you found me Early morning, City breaks I致e been calling for years and years and years and years And you never left me no messages You never send me no letters You got some kind of nerve, taking all I want Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lying on the floor Where were you where were you Lost and insecure You found me, you found me Lying on the floor Surrounded, surrounded Why壇 you have to wait? Where were you, where were you? Just a little late You found me, you found me Why壇 you have to wait? To find me, to find me
One - U2
Is it getting better? Or do you feel the same? Will it make it easier on you now? You got someone to blame
You say, one love, one life When it's one need in the night One love, we get to share it Leaves you baby if you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth? You act like you never had love And you want me to go without
Well it's too late tonight To drag the past out into the light We're one but we're not the same We get to carry each other, carry each other One!
Have you come here for forgiveness? Have you come to raise the dead? Have you come here to play Jesus? To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much? More than a lot You gave me nothin' now it's all I got We're one but we're not the same Well we hurt each other then we do it again
You say love is a temple, love a higher law Love is a temple, love the higher law You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl And I can't be holdin' on to what you got When all you got is hurt
One love, one blood One life, you got to do what you should One life, with each other Sisters, brothers
One life but we're not the same We get to carry each other, carry each other One One
