two songs

[notesinblue]

i've been listening to the following two songs for two days now. they resonate. i record them here for future reflection.

crazy - Gnarls Barclay
i remember when, i remember,
i remember when i lost my mind.
there was something so pleasant about that place,
even your emotions had an echo, in so much space.

and when you're out there, without care,
yeah, i was out of touch
but it wasn't because i didn't know enough,
i just knew too much.

does that make me crazy?
does that make me crazy?
does that make me crazy?
probably.

and i hope you are having the time of your life,
but think twice. that's my only advice.

come on now, who do you, who do you,
who do you, who do you think you are?
ha ha ha, bless your soul.
you really think you're in control,
well,

i think you're crazy.
i think you're crazy.
i think you're crazy.
just like me.

my heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
and all I remember is thinkin', I want to be like them

ever since i was little,
ever since i was little,
it looked like fun.
and it's no coincidence i've come
and i can die when i'm done.

but maybe I'm crazy.
maybe you're crazy.
maybe we're crazy.
probably.

&

single - Natasha Bedingfield
i'm not waitin' around for a man to save me
(cos i'm happy where i am)
don't depend on a guy to validate me
(No no)
i don't need to be anyone's baby
(is that so hard to understand?)
no i don't need another half to make me whole

make your move if you want doesn't mean i will or won't
i'm free to make my mind up you either got it or you don't

[chorus:]
this is my current single status
my declaration of independence
there's no way i'm tradin' places
right now a star's in the ascendant

i'm single
(right now)
that's how i wanna be
i'm single
(right now)
that's how i wanna be

ah yeah, uh huh, that's right

don't need to be on somebody's arm to look good
(i like who i am)
i'm not saying i don't wanna fall in love 'cos i would
i'm not gonna get hooked up just 'cos you say i should
(can't romance on demand)
i'm gonna wait, so i'm sorry if you misunderstood

[chorus]

everything in it's right time everything in it's right place
i know i'll settle down one day
but 'til then i like it this way it's my way
eh I like it this way

[chorus]
