I'm Yours!


If you know me at all, you know that music is a huge, gigantic part of me. I listen to everything from Britney to Flyleaf to Bob Dylan to Sublime. Frequently, I find a song that is not well known, but so good that I feel like everyone should hear it.

I discovered this song on VH1, one of my personal favorite Web sites. It reminded me of what it means to be in a relationship (I haven’t been in one for more than a year and a half). It also struck a cord with me since at the beginning of the song he’s been trying to not have these feelings, but he couldn’t help it.

I feel like this is when the you-are-the-one-love really hits you. It makes me happy and hopeful that there is such a thing. I realize that I found this song a bit late, and probably should have posted it on Valentine’s day, but doesn’t it seem to mean more when you get flowers on any OTHER day than V-Day?

Since we’ve been little we’ve been conditioned to think that the once-in-a-lifetime-love does, and will, happen. I’m not sure whether it does or not, or if it actually lasts, but, this song made me think of who I want to be with. If you’ve ever seen the movie “When Harry Met Sally,” you know the part where Harry realizes he wants to be with Sally. He says, “Once you figure out who you want to spend the rest of your life with, you want to start right then!”

This makes sense. If this happens rarely, let’s start now. I’m yours!

I’m Yours

Well you done done me

and you bet I felt it

I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted

I fell right through the cracks

and now I'm trying to get back


Before the cool done run out

I'll be giving it my bestest

Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention

I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

I won't hesitate no more, no more


It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me

Open up your plans and damn you're free

Look into your heart and you'll find love love love


Listen to the music of the moment

maybe sing with mei love peaceful melody

It's your God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved


Chorus: So I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait I'm sure

There's no need to complicate

Our time is short

This is our fate, I'm yours


I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror

And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer

My breath fogged up the glass

And so I drew a new face and laughed

I guess what I'ma saying is there ain't no better reason

To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons

It's what we aim to do

Our name is our virtue


Chorus


Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me

Open up your plans and damn you're free

Look into your heart and you'll find the sky is yours
