Lyric of the Week

With my upcoming 29th birthday tomorrow I can feel the big 3-0 looming not too far in the future.

I feel old.

So it brought a smile to my face the other day when this MxPx song came blasting through my ear buds. Admittedly I don't listen to this type of music very often anymore as my musical tastes have mellowed a bit, so I would typically skip to the next track; but for whatever reason I let it play through this time.

I'm glad I did.

This song reminds me of simpler days. Days with few worries. Days when I only cared about listening to music and trying to impress girls. Now that I think about it, maybe things aren't so different today after all (although my target audience of girls has now been reduced to a limited few).

"Can I call you sweetheart, or even baby doll?
If I had your number, you'd be getting a phone call
Can I leave you a message on your machine?
Letting you know that you're the bomb and you blew up on me

Are you anxious to see me after your next class?
Do you care when I tell you; step around that broken glass?

Can I see you after you get out of school?
I won't even mind it if you treat me cruel
Take a ride on my Vespa; I'll take you home
I'll climb up to your window and read you a poem

Are you anxious to see me after your next class?
Do you care when I tell you; step around that broken glass?

I know that you beleive in the one true God above
And that's why you're waiting for your one and only love
Do your feet hurt? Did you fall from heaven?
'Cause you been running through my mind all day
My mind don't mind

I don't know what to say or do
I can't eat when I'm with you
Goodnight sweetheart I gotta go
And you won't come to my next show?"
