And the fever
Getting higher
Desire

Burning...

The Way I Am

by Ingrid Michaelson

If you were falling, then I would catch you
You need a light, I'd find a match

Cuz I love the way you say good morning
And you take me the way I am

If you are chilly, here take my sweater
Your head is aching; I'll make it better

Cuz I love the way you call me baby
And you take me the way I am

*tear*



Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

Well, I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left, you kissed my lips
You told me you would never, never forget
These images

No
Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should've known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I bet you are just fine

Did I make it that
Easy to walk right in and out
Of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
Should have known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I had to kiss a lot of frogs
to learn my grass was green enough.
Had to wake face down in the gutter
to see what is and isn't love.

Broken Wing



And with a broken wing,
She still sings.
She keeps an eye on the sky.
With a broken wing,
She carries her dreams.
Man, you ought to see her fly.

Bigger than my body

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
'Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

Para bailar **


Quisiera hacerte un gran poema,
usar el cielo de papel,
tomar las nubes como crema
y hornearte un súper pastel.

Llevarte al espacio sideral
y volar como lo hace Superman...

Me tienes tan debilitada,
todas mis fuerzas se me van si estás aquí,
y mis poderes no son nada,
me siento tan normal, tan frágil, tan real.

Me elevas el espacio sideral...

** This is probably one of the girliest songs that I own. And my daughter and I always dance to it when it comes on. It's just fun!
