Title: The Next One
Post by: me and my piano---tim on August 05, 2008, 10:27:52 am

Finally... a new song. Went thru a bit of a dry spell there, but I'm really loving this tune. This song came to be after I had a conversation with a coworker about relationships and how easy it is to "settle." There are those guys and girls in our lives who give us butterflies the instant we see them or start talking to them. Why settle for anything less than butterflies?

The Next One

You say
Over coffee
That I'm too damn
Idealistic
I say
It's too early
Would you please be
Sympathetic

Then you tell me
This is another way
That I'm running from my problems
Oh but honey, don't you see?
I'm just running to the next one.

The next one
The next one
The next one
The next one
The next one
The next one
The next one

You call
Me a quitter
And you call me
Condescending
I'm calling
You bitter
And i'm calling
Out the ending

Then you tell me
This is another way
That I'm running from my problems
Oh but honey, don't you see?
I'm just running to the next one.

The next one.
The next one
The next one
The next one
The next one
The next one

I want butterflies
Where are butterflies?
I want butterflies
And I want candlelight
And I want peace of mind tomorrow
Is that too much to ask?
Baby, I'm free
Baby, I'm free
Baby, I'm free
To believe in..

The next one
The next one
The next one
The next one
The next one....

No I wont
I wont let
Wont let my
My dreams get
Me down no
I wont' let
Wont let my
My dreams get
Me down.

I like it. The theme kind of reminds me of "the one" how you can end up with someone who is great, but wrong for you, and sometimes you have to settle for something less, but you shouldn't.
Its kinda funny how this song talks about butterflies cause when I read you song I was listening to the song "Butterfly Cry" by Kerli.

Nice lyrics. I'd like to hear the music to go along. It kind of reminded me of Jewel - Foolish Games at first :)
