the grass is always greener...

i heard this song today. couldn't wait to download it and learn how to guitar it. ....and after soaking in the lyrics (finally), now i understand why she liked (playing) this song.

makes me feel like... crap. for not paying more attention. but i wish i could hear that piano again...

Ben, the two of us need look no more: we both found what we were looking for! With a friend to call my own, I'll never be alone... and you -- my friend -- will see: you’ve got a friend in me.

Ben, you’re always running here and there. You feel you’re not wanted anywhere... If you ever look behind -- and don’t like what you find -- there’s something you should know: you’ve got a place to go.

I used to say 'I' and 'me'! ...Now it’s 'us'; now it’s 'we.'

Ben, most people would turn you away. I don’t listen to a word they say! They don’t see you as I do; I wish they would try to...! I’m sure they’d think again if they had a friend like...

i woke up this morning, remembering a dream i had of you... as the details became more and more fuzzy, until i could remember almost nothing, one detail has still stuck with me 'til noontime: she didn't say a word. the next thought came soon after: probably because it's been so long since i heard her voice.

then i thought: what was she doing there? she wasn't even there at that time...

...but she was always in your thoughts.
just as she will always be in your memory.

and then it hit me: nothing needed to be said.

find a guy who calls you "beautiful" instead of "hot" ; who calls you back when you hang up on him ; who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat ; or will stay awake just to watch you sleep. wait for the boy who pursues you ; who kisses you on the forehead ; who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats ; who holds your hand in front of his friends ; who thinks you're the prettiest when you have no make-up on ; and insists on holding you around the waist ; the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you ; the one who turns to his friends and says, "that's her."
