What You Like Lyrics

This song is delightful...I remember LOVING it. The way it's written is so naive yet powerful, especially when he says : "I'll never mess it up again, won't let it slip like grains of sand through careless fingertips, because I'm a man who understands, tough burned by the fire I can learn to feel the light again and listen, I can hear your demands I know I can do it, give me one more chance Baby here I am, oh..." Those lines just get me, talk about a guy that probably was wrong in the past but learned that this person was really worth anything, which is willing to give right now. This song used to fill me up with hope, it made me dream about the way I wanted love to be for me...just pleasing and give your all without hesitation. Even better if it was with my best friend at the time, who I always felt was too much for me and romanticized him in my head. Since this song talks about "I never knew my journey began and ended with you my friend", it made me smile to think that maybe eventually we would end up together again. We did, but it was nothing like this song! :(

Like you, Miss, I'm just waiting for that kind of love to come to my life, when we are both ready to give and please the other. Sometimes I'm scared such a magical thing won't happen to me again (but healthy this time). But I guess I have to believe.
