steady my breathing, silently screaming “i have to have you now.” wired and i’m tired, think i’ll sleep in my clothes on the floor… or maybe this mattress will spin on its axis and find me on yours.
i’m thinking of you right now - whoever you are. there’s a nice little thunderstorm happening outside my window right now and i’m sitting on my bed watching it happen while i simultaneously sip on my hard cider and avoid the sketches i should be doing right now. if you were here - oh, if you were here - i’d turn off all of the lights, play my very favorite playlist (paperweight by joshua radin | who are you when i’m not looking by blake shelton | i need you by tim mcgraw & faith hill | give in to me by garrett hedlund & leighton meester | like jesus does by eric church | edge of desire - john mayer | transatlantacism by death cab | delicate by damien rice) and rest my head on your chest while we watch the world move on while we stayed in one place. so just know that i’m thinking of you and i already love you.
i wish you were here.
:]
take me away from whatever it is that i might be doing and dance with me to these songs.
- the glory of love {jimmy durante}.
- that’s all {michael buble}.
- edge of desire {john mayer}.
- come away with me {norah jones}.
- who are you when i’m not looking {blake shelton}.
- main title {aaron zigman}.
- give in to me {garrett hedlund & leighton meester}.
- kathleen {josh ritter} (especially this one since my first name is kathleen).
and last, but most certainly not least:
dream a little dream of me {ella fitzgerald & louis armstrong}.
Here’s a clip of the first single off Born and Raised, called “Shadow Days.” I’m excited to share the first bit of sound from the album… Been looking forward to a post like this since October 14, 2010, the first day I started writing this group of songs. Enjoy.
{edge of desire (live) - john mayer}
the first 1:12 of this video is just… absolute perfection.
