without you
my life has become
a hangover without end
a movie
made for TV
bad dialogue, bad acting, no interest-
too long with no story & no sex.
is it a kind of weakness
to miss someone so much ?
to wish the day
go away
like you did yesterday ?
just like you did yesteray ?
& i can't think of a way
to get through this pain-
to be happy again, to make it all alright
i know it must be bad
cos sitting here right now-
all i know is i can't even think
can't even think of
anything clever to say
to say, so i say:
why pretend any longer ?
cos i need you here with me.
it's obvious that i
miss you so much_
so please say you're gonna stay
so please say you're gonna stay
so please say you're gonna stay
the night is getting darker now
& there's nothing on TV
but i'll sit tight
till morning light
yeah, i'll wait until the day
until the day
that you say you're gonna stay.

Oh fuck... I love this song sooo much....
Feeling the absense of that person you love so much and you just lost. Asking that one to come back...
TV Movie... A great and clever analogy...
When my last girlfriend dumped me, I listened to this song so much. I didn't even like her that much, but this really made me feel better. I told one of my friends about it, and he said that he had experienced the exact same thing with the same song. A testament to the songwriter's ability, I feel. It is a great gift to be able to write a song about unrequited love and not come off a little unoriginal and insincere in the process.
i love the idea that he's written a song about being so distraught that he can't even write a song. "can't even think of anything clever to say" has always given me this image of him sitting there with his notepad and pen, trying to write a song but realising that he really can't think of anything apart from this person... well, that's what i think. i love this song. it makes me cry. ♥
