Fifty-Three (3/6/2008)

[verse]
I have closed my eyes to look back in time
Those forty-nine days that I fought the tides
When you were unsure and I had to cry
Praying to someone to make all this right
Then you stopped by, I remember the taste
The day we fell into love and place
That night broke me when you fell away
A long walk home on the morning of day

[chorus]
These words just can’t seem to say it
I know that I can’t explain it
Simple things I say never capture it
Little things you say, what comes after it?

[verse]
Day after next is when we found peace
A heart break day that a kiss would cease
Mistakes were made and mistakes would leave
And in their place, it’s just you and me
And we’ll fight the world, we can make them see
That this is right and it’s meant to be
A tattoo’ed heart, written fifty-three
I’ve come so far, it’s what you’ve given me

[chorus]
These words just can’t seem to say it
I know that I can’t explain it
Simple things I say never capture it
Little things you say, what comes after it?

[bridge]
I’m across the street, I can see you
I’ve been lost all week and I need you
Once my heart was weak, now I breathe you
Lift me off my feet, never leave you
I’ll never leave you…
I’ll never leave you…

[chorus]
But words just can’t seem to say it
I know that I can’t explain it
Simple things I say never capture it
Little things you say, what comes after it?

These words I say, dedicated
You and me, baby, look we made it
Simple things we say, we can prove this
You and me today, we’ll get through this

Notes: It’s a pop rock love song. Someone like Kelly Clarkson could probably sing it. As for the meaning? Well, cmon, it’s obviously about my beautiful girl.
