If I walked... (song)

If if if...
If I walked walked walked
To the moon moon moon
I would ne- ne- never see you you you
Cuz you're far- far- farther then the stars stars stars
And I gaze gaze gaze at you
All night long.

If I walked walked walked
To the sea sea sea
And I let let let it
Envelope me,
I would ne- ne- never see you, my dear.
You're too deep deep deep
Deep for me me me.

If I walked walked walked
To the sky sky sky
I would ne- ne- ne- never fly fly fly
Quite as high high high as you always do.
You're too fly fly fly fly
For I I I.

Check out Ton Ange for the melody.

Strategy

I want you.


I want you,
But I'm not very good at this game
And my mind is filled
With where I went wrong;
What I should have said;
What I didn't do.

And the analyses never end,
Because no matter what I think,
I have so little to go on
From YOU.
I can't be sure of anything
Until you tell me
what's on your mind.
But I won't get that for now
And the truth is
I don't know if I can handle

Not knowing what you want.
Even while knowing I want you.
Even while others want me
Even while I do to them
What you've been doing to me.

And I don't know you, really;
Figuring you out is impossible.
So resigning myself to waiting
Is my only strategy.

We are never at fault

We are never at fault;
We are not to blame.
Misfortune and pain,
Regardless of circumstance,
Or our own part
Are always the result of another's actions;
Another's choice to be inconsiderate;
Another's thoughtlessness.

It is never we who mislead
Who mistreat
Who misrepresent our "true" nature
Through actions foul or cold.

Never we. They.
But if I am he as you are he as you are me,
Then they are...
We?

Please, someone tell me they noticed the Beatles reference...

Obligatory First Post

Hi,

Expect to see my written pieces in addition to semi-random ramblings about my day. I teach ESL and every now and then I'll happen upon a funny story. So you might see some of that too.

Please have a look-see at my deviantART gallery (and tell your friends too!).

Enjoy your stay.
