Here comes the cold
Break out the winter clothes
And find a love to call your own
You - enter you
Your cheeks a shade of pink
And the rest of you in powder blue

Who knows what will be
But I’ll make you this guarantee

No way November will see our goodbye
When it comes to December it’s obvious why
No one wants to be alone at Christmas time

In the dark, on the phone
You tell me the names of your brothers
And your favorite colors
I’m learning you
And when it snows again
We’ll take a walk outside
And search the sky
Like children do
I’ll say to you

No way November will see our goodbye
When it comes to December it’s obvious why
No one wants to be alone at Christmas time
And come January we’re frozen inside
Making new resolutions a hundred times
February, won’t you be my valentine?

And we’ll both be safe ’til St. Patrick’s Day

We should take a ride tonight around the town
and look around at all the beautiful houses
something in the way that blue lights on a black night
can make you feel more
everybody, it seems to me, just wants to be
just like you and me

No one wants to be alone at Christmas time
Come January we’re frozen inside
Making new resolutions a hundred times
February, won’t you be my valentine?

And if our always is all that we gave
And we someday take that away
I’ll be alright if it was just ’til St. Patrick’s Day

-John Mayer, “St. Patrick’s Day”, Room For Squares

is this whats happening? is my mind playing tricks on me or are you not feeling me any more? what did i do? i’m not ready for us…whatever us is…to be over yet…

this has been on my mind all week, and it just makes me sad to think about. i don’t want to be worried about nothing, but i need to hear something, anything from you…

*sigh*

Simple- The Animators, Home By Now

her eyes are too wide for a city girl
but she was downtown born and raised
don’t even try to surprise her
but she can be easily amazed
she’s seen enough, she oughta be jaded
but she still feels all that she can
and she’s clever enough to be all complicated
but she’s easy enough to understand
she’s simple like a circle
simple like a smile
kisses like a grownup
and loves me like a child
after all this time i been running away
she makes it so, so simple to stay
it’s easy to start her laughing
she can’t hold anything inside
and it’s easy to bring the tears to her eyes
but it’s hard to imagine that anyone would try

she’s simple like a circle
simple like a smile
kisses like a grownup
and loves me like a child
after all this time i been running away
she makes it so, so simple to stay

and when the light falls on the chrysler building right
she can be glad about it
through the day into the night
well i guess you’d call that simple right?

she’s simple like a circle
simple like a smile
kisses like a grownup
and dreams like a child
simple like a love song
simple like a ring
she might get the words wrong but she’s gonna sing
she’s simple like an ocean
simple like sigh
she’ll tell you a story but she can’t tell a lie
there’s nobody like her
so why would i run away?
she makes it so, so simple to stay.

how sweet- right?  i want someone to write something like this about me

a soft gangsta

the lupe album is dope. point blank- i’ve been listening to a horrible quality leak , and it hasn’t mattered. the content is diverse, beats tight, and of lyrics are on point. a treat to end ‘07 the right way.

Your guard’s up, and your heart’s cold

Oh, and I promise you’re gonna find love
