Monday Dribble

For the longest time my iPod was not my friend. I could not handle listening to anything on it. Everything reminded me of Christopher or something we did together - it was painful to hit "skip", "skip", "skip", "skip" trying to find something that didn't remind me of him.

This morning on the way into work I pulled out my iPod and dusted it off. I thought, I'll give it a try. This was the first song that played. People have written me that this blog helps them as much as it helps me. Which I have to admit that was not the plan; but I am so thankful to help those people who need to know that they are not the only ones going through something like this or that they had the same feelings and that it's ok to feel that way.

Every Monday (ok more like every other Monday) I'll try to find a song that give me strength or makes me feel like for those of you going through the same thing can relate. Music is a great way of dealing with those feelings we keep to our hearts.

Enjoy. Clumsy by Our Lady Peace (lyrics provided below too)

Throw away the radio
Suitcase...Keeps you awake
Hide the telephone, the telephone
Telephone in case...You realize that
Sometimes your just not OK
You level out, level out, level out
It's not alright now...You need to understand
There's nothing strange out this
You need to know your friends...You need to know that

I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown, watching you scream, quiet or loud
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need...A friend
As clumsy as you've been there's no one laughing
You will be safe in here, you will be safe in here

Throw away this very old...shoe lace
Tripped you again
Try to shrug it off, shrug it off, shrug it off
Sow the skin now
You need to understand...there's nothing fake about this
You need to let me in...watching you and

I'll be waving my hand
Watching you drown, watching you scream, no one's around
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need...A friend
As clumsy has you've been, there's no one laughing
You will be safe in here, you will be safe in...

I'll be wavin my hand...Watching you drown...
Watching you scream...Quiet or loud...
And maybe you should sleep
And maybe you just need...A friend
As clumsy as you've been, there's no one laughing
You will be safe in here, you will be safe in here...Yeah
You will be safe in here...in here...Yeah
in here...Yeah...in here...Yeah...in here...Yeah
in here...Yeah....in here...Yeah
