Sometimes songs exist to be someone else's theme song.

I have been searching for your touch,

unlike any touch I've ever known.

And I never thought about you much,

'til I'm broken down and all alone.

Though I don't understand the meaning of love,

I do not mind if I die trying.

Took you for granted when you lifted me up.

I'm asking for your help.

I am going through hell---

Afraid nothing can save me

but the sound of your voice;

you cut out all the noise.

And now that I can see my stakes so clearly now,

I'd kill if I could take you back,

but how?

I wonder 'til I'm wide awake.

Now I'm pacing back and forth,

wishing you were at my door.

I'd open up and you would say,

"Hey, it was enchanting to meet you."

And all I know is, I was enchanted to meet you.

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go.

I'll spend forever, wondering if you knew that I was enchanted to meet you.

For tonight:

1. In Your Atmosphere, John Mayer.

"I'm gonna steer clear.

I'd burn up in your atmosphere.

I'm gonna steer clear,

cause I'd die if I saw you,

I'd die if I didn't see you there.

So I don't think I'll go to L.A. anymore."

2. Between the Lines, Sara Bareilles

"Too late, two choices:

to stay or to leave.

Mine was so easy to uncover;

he'd already left with the other.

So, I'll learn to listen through silence.

Leave unsaid, unspoken.

Eyes wide shut, unopened.

You and me, always between the lines."

3. Someone Like You, Adele

"Nothing compares, no worries or cares;

regrets and mistakes, they're memories made.

Who would have known how

bittersweet this would taste?"

4. Breathe Again, Sara Bareilles

"Car is parked. Bags are packed.

But what kind of heart doesn't look back?

All those words came undone,

and now I'm not the only one

facing the ghosts that decide

if the fire still burns inside.

All I have. All I need is

the air I would kill to breathe.

Holds my love in his hands,

still I'm searching for something.

Out of breath, I am left hoping

someday, I'll breathe again."

"I take the car and drive the night.

The White Stripes blur and ease my mind. When all that's left is a single line, instead of this confusion. And I'm not certain of the way it was. And I'm not certain of what I could have done. Oh but I wonder if it had been enough. . . .I stop the car and close my eyes, and I can see his face but it takes a while. And it feeds me like the morning light: slow and unfocused."

---What I Know, Parachute.

"Nothing to do, no where to be,

a simple little kind of free."

--Perfectly Lonely, John Mayer

My mom is out of town for a week and my brother is out with friends on this lovely summer evening. So I'm here, on my front porch, enjoying a cold class of milk and some warm cookies. Tonight, I'll do whatever I would like to do. Perfectly lonely. The anthem of summer.

Mostly I'm obsessed with Pat Monahan.

Really, though. He is a genius.

Not only does he have an incredible voice,

but he writes all is own music and plays like 7 instruments.

This particular song really speaks to me right now.

I feel like every song he writes is applicable to my life at some point,

but this one happens to be super relevant.

It is amazing.

"With the sound of a train that I could've been on,

reminding me that the last one's gone.

With you, it's always midnight."

"Are you blind?

Can't you see me standing here waiting in line?

For you. Are you mine?

Not just when you want to be.

All of the time. Are you? Are you blind?

Won't you tell me what it is I'm waiting to find?"

"A way to get back to you;

a way to get out of here.

I don't want to be alone at midnight anymore.

How do I get away? Want to see you in the daylight.

I don't wanna be afraid of midnight anymore."

"With you, it's always midnight."

It's sunny outside.

A gorgeous Spring day like today

must be coupled with this song:

Train always does it.

Hey, theme song.

"It's clear to see that you're down to earth,

with a hold on what you're worth, like no other.

and I'd like to thank your mother for that.

I bet ya there's a line outside your door,

and it's a line I know for sure,

that you don't want from me,

like a hole in my head.

I want to be just you, just me.

no tricks, no show,

but I've got to let you know.

That I'm not waiting in line for you.

I'm not changing my mind for no one.

I'm not wasting my time.

I'm not waiting in line."
