I decided to pluck a song from Red this week, the second single.

 

Lyrics:

Took a deep breath in the mirror

He didn't like it when I wore high heels

But I do

Turned the lock and put my headphones on

You always said I didn't get this song

But I do, I do

Walked in expecting you'd be late

But you got here early and you stand and wave

I walk to you

I walk to you

You pull my chair out and help me in

And you don't know how nice that is

But I do

And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid

I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did

I've been spending the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does

Is break and burn and end

But on a Wednesday in a cafe

I watched it begin again

You said you never met one boy

Who had as many James Taylor records as you

But I do

We tell stories and you don't know why

I'm coming off a little shy

But I do

But you throw your head back laughing like a little kid

I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did

And I've been spending the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does

Is break and burn and end

But on a Wednesday in a cafe

I watched it begin again

And we walked

Down the block to my car and I almost brought him up

But you

Start to talk about the movies that your family watches

Every single Christmas

But I want to talk about that

And for the first time, what's past is past

'Cause you throw your head back laughing like a little kid

I think it's strange that you think I'm funny 'cause he never did

And I've been spending the last eight months

Thinking all love ever does

Is break and burn and end

But on a Wednesday in a cafe I watched it begin again

Yeah, but on a Wednesday in a cafe

I watched it begin again

 

 

How do you feel about this song?

I often forget about this song, but I do like it.

I think the best thing about this song is the video - I much prefer the song when listening to the video - if that makes sense. I guess it just makes more sense to me that way. Otherwise I find the song a bit dull I guess.

I do like the video more than the song, so it does make sense.
