Jaymay

I listened to a song on the way back from Vernal, and it became my absolute favorite song in the world. I'm secretly a huge poetry fanatic so when I listen to a song I really listen and analyze the lyrics and I loved this song so much, I thought I'd share it with you.

Gray or Blue

by Jaymay

I feel so helpless now, my guitar is not around

And I'm struggling with this xylophone

To make these feelings sound

 And I'm remembering you singing an bringing you to life

And it's raining out the window 

And today it looks like night

You haven't written to me in a week, I wonder why that is?

Are you to nervous to be lovers, 

Friendships ruined with just one kiss

I watched you very closely, I saw you look away

Your eyes are either gray or blue

I'm never close enough to say

But your sweatshirt says it all with your hood over your face

And I can't keep staring at your mouth 

without wondering how it tastes

And now I'm with another boy, He's asleep I'm wide awake

He tried to win my heart

But it's taken...time

And I know the shape of your hands because I watch them when you talk

And I know the shape of your body

Because I watch it when you walk.

And I want to know it all

But I'm giving you the lead, So go on

Go on and take it

Don't fake it

Shake it

Don't second guess your feelings

You were right from the start

I notice she's your lover, but she's nowhere near your heart

This city is for strangers like the sky is for the stars

And I think it's very dangerous

If we do not take what's ours

And I'm winning you with words because I have no other way

I'd love to look into your face 

Without your eyes turning away.

And last night I watched you sing because a person has to try

I walked home in the rain 

Because a person can not lie...

I don't know what it is about this song that I love so much, I guess just it's simplicity and it's passion.. I really think that this Jaymay chick was in my head because this song takes all the random emotions that I feel and puts them perfectly into the words I've been trying to tell people my whole life. 

I used to write poetry all the time, none of it was ever very good but I think I want to pick it up again. Maybe try my hand at some songwriting. What do you guys think?
