lame.

so, this is kind of a lame post, but i'm doing it anyways. i have so much music, more music than it seems i could ever listen to in my lifetime, but somehow it works out that i listen to it all. but sometimes because i have so much, songs/albums just get lost in the shuffle of things. so lately i have been listening to my ipod (name: hubble, respectively) on shuffle just because i am bored of everything and can't make up my mind, and i came upon a song i hadn't listened to in a long while. it was really quite interesting because it is from an album that i absolutely love, and it was most definately my top 10 of 2004 but this song just took on a whole different meaning for me when i heard it yesterday. i don't know if it makes a difference that i had my headphones on, i know sometimes that makes me listen a bit closer, but the lyrics just seemed crazy good and perfect to me. so i'm gonna post them, along with a suggestion that you stop what you're doing and pay 99 cents to download this song from i-tunes. it is worth every penny, i promise you. if you really wanted to go all out, you could buy the whole cd, because that wouldn't disappoint either.
(side note: i realize these lyrics are from a male p.o.v... doesn't mean i am actually thinking of a girl when i hear them, i'm just able to relate to the person who is singing/writing.)

cheers, darlin'

cheers, darlin'
you give me three cigarettes to smoke my tears away.

and i die when you mention his name.
and i lied, i should have kissed you
when we were running in the rain.

what am i darlin'?
a whisper in your ear?
a piece of your cake? what am i, darlin?
the boy you can fear?
or your biggest mistake?

cheers, darlin'
here's to you and your lover man.
cheers, darlin'
i just hang around and eat from a can.
cheers, darlin'
i got a ribbon of green on my guitar.
cheers, darlin'
i got a beauty queen to sit not very far from here.

i die when he comes around
to take you home.
i'm too shy,
i should have kissed you when we were alone.

what am i, darlin'?
a whisper in your ear?
a piece of your cake?
what am i, darlin'?
the boy you can fear?
or your biggest mistake?

oh, what am i? what am i, darlin'?
i've got years to wait....
