LSD

For the nth time, I am suffering from last song syndrome. I am soo smitten by this beautiful song from Tori Amos. I have been listening to it over and over while my little Andre is asleep.

I found a video and lyrics and I am sharing it with everybody. I guess the song is trying to say that to love someone unconditionally does not necessarily mean tying him down. And yeah, i strongly agree that's what love is all about -- giving someone their freedom, their own time to grow and find themselves. And in the end, to realize that knowing who you are is the secret to growing together and that freedom is being in each other's arms all along.



Sleeps With Butterflies

airplanes take you away again
are you flying above where we live
then i look up, a glare in my eyes
are you having regrets about last night

i'm not, but i like rivers that
rush in so then i dove in
is there trouble ahead for you, the acrobat
i won't push you, unless you have a net

you say the word you know i will find you
or if you need some time i don't mind
i don't hold onto the tail of your kite
i'm not like the girls that you've known
but i believe i'm worth coming home to
kiss away night
this girl only sleeps with butterflies
with butterflies
so go on and fly then, boy

balloons look good from on the ground
i fear with pins and needles around
we may fall then stumble upon a carousel
it could take us anywhere

you say the word you know i will find you
or if you need some time i don't mind
i don't hold onto the tail of your kite
i'm not like the girls that you've known
but i believe i'm worth coming home to
kiss her, waiting by this girl
this girl

you say the word you know i will find you
or if you need some time i don't mind
i don't hold onto the tail of your kite
i'm not like the girls that you've known
but i believe i'm worth coming home to
kiss away night
this girl only sleeps with butterflies
with butterflies
with butterflies
so go on and fly boy
