And it made me happy. Really happy. Because I love Imogen Heap- her music is simply amazing in all its eclectic wonder. She possesses an extraordinary gift for putting every emotion into words- even the innate, fleeting emotions we all experience but never pay much attention to. While I love every song on her new CD, there are a couple that I never tire of so I'm putting the lyrics of one up here and can hopefully find the song somewhere to put it on here as well.
Wait it Out
Where do we go from here?
How do we carry on?
I can't get beyond the questions
Clambering for the scraps
In the shatter of us collapsed
That cuts me with every could-have-been
Pain on pain on play repeating
With the backup, makeshift life in waiting
Everybody says
Time heals everything
But what of the wretched hollow?
The endless in between
Are we just going to wait it out?
There's nothing to see here now
Turning the sign around
We're closed to the earth 'til further notice
A stumbling clichéd case
Crumpled and puffy faced
Dead in the stare of a thousand miles
All I want, only one, street level miracle
I'll be an out and out, born again, from none more cynical
And sit here cold, we will be long gone by then
In lackluster, in dust we layer on old magazines,
fluorescent lighting sets the scene
For all we could and should be being
In the one life that we've got
And sit here
Just going to wait it out
And sit here cold
Just going to sweat it out
Wait it out
You should probably go and buy it... like yesterday.
Well I'm buying this ASAP. I didn't even know she came out with a new one. My gosh. I fell in love with her because of you...so long ago.
