so after much searching since the related post, i think i’ve come up with what i believe to be the greatest love song ever written. the artist describes it as being “six verses about having nothing to say” and it’s pretty much my thought process (verbatim) when i’m with a girl that i like or when i’m just thinking about a girl that i like. do i say something? is it worth the risk? is she thinking the same things? will i ever figure this “love” thing out? so check out the lyrics and, if you want extra cool points, buy the album!! it’s by Sandra McCracken and is off her latest album, Gypsy Flat Road.

springtime indiana

springtime indiana
you are sleeping by my side
here across the miles we ramble
past where the road divides
i wish i could tell you…but i just can’t find the words

i’ve never been good with my thoughts
and even worse with my words
but you read like familiar poetry
that i have never heard
i wish i could tell you…but i just can’t find the words

so let’s move across the ocean
and pitch the tent stakes wide
you be the one to come after me
and i will be your bride
i wish i could tell you…but i just can’t find the words

i am all at once courageous
i am all at once afraid
it came over me like nightfall
like a freight train
i can’t seem to hold it in
but i can’t seem to run away

you came in without notice
and settled all around my heart
took up residence in all the places
that were vacant and dark
i wish i could tell you…but i just can’t find the words

springtime indiana
you are starting to wake
and i am laden with the thoughts
of everything i mean to say
i wish I could tell you…but I just can’t find the words
