a love song for no one

"Searching all my days
just to find you
I'm not sure who
I'm looking for

I'll know it

When I see you


Until then, I'll hide
in my bedroom

Staying up all night
just to write

A love song for no one

I'm tired of being alone

So hurry up and get here

So tired of being alone

So hurry up and get here


I could have met you in a sandbox

I could have passed you on the sidewalk

Could I have missed my chance

And watched you walk away?"


lyrics by John Mayer

"Could I have missed my chance
And watched you walk away?"

I love this it's so beautiful it feels like it should be a song, I love the pictures of the spanish dancers too

mermaid said...

The last few lines make me think of the people we meet and the people we miss, and why it is we connect with some and not others.

Your photo, as usual, captures the loneliness so well.

nayan :: yeah, imagine how random it all is and yet, is it really random.

transience :: yeah i also like that one too.

madelyn :: it's too funny. i've been planning to either rent or buy those films because i was told i would really like them. hopefully soon i will see them. i look forward to reading what you write.

sue hardy-dawson :: it is actually a song by John Mayer.
thanks.

mermaid :: i know, it's strange and interesting to think about the randomness of it all.
i like how the photograph captured 3 people isolated in their own space.

Thanks for posting these lyrics. A love song for no one -- what a great line. I often feel that way when I am writing. . . .

Heyy, I was listening to this album last night. The song that does it for me is 83. Oh wow, this album helped me go through a lot a *long* time ago. Been too busy digging in my sandbox lately, so to speak; hope you're doing fantastic!

You little artist! I like the set-up and contrast between the guitar player on the ground, playing away, rough but unconcerned while the woman sits uncomfortably biding her time, full of dread and worry and possibly indulging in the music a little.
If only they would trip into each others lives.

PS-I left you a note re: if you want some music send me your addy and I'll send you a CD.

sirbarrett said...

Oh yeah, didn't even notice the irony of the title at first (thanks trans). The picture is even more funny now.
