So this is funny–One of my top five favorite movies is Serendipity.
And one of my work colleagues just introduced me the JayMay, who is this singer/songwriter that I am currently obsessed with (as of noon this afternoon)
So I’m listening to JayMay’s “Gray or Blue”, and I’m loving the lyrics (which are listed below), esp these lines:
I know the shape of your hands because i watch it when you talk
and i know the shape of your body cause i watch it when you walk
and i want to know it all but i’m giving you the lead .
So go on, go on and take it.
And so I start to research her and come across this little gem…how fortuitous!
I’m a lyrics-girl, so I’m loving these right now–Thanks, Sally!

“Gray or Blue”
I feel so helpless now, my guitar is not around
and i’m struggling with the xylophone to make these feelins sound
and i’m remembering you singing and bringing you to life
It’s raining out the window and today it looks like night
You haven’t written to me in a week im wondering why that is
are you too nervous to be lovers– friendships ruined with just one kiss kiss
I watched you very closely and i saw you look away
your eyes are either gray or blue i’m never close enough to say
But your sweatshirt says it all with the hood over your face
I can’t keep staring at your mouth without wondering how it tastes
I’m with another boy (he’s asleep, i’m wide awake )
and he tried to win my heart, but it’s taken . . . . . time
I know the shape of your hands because i watch it when you talk
and i know the shape of your body cause i watch it when you walk
and i want to know it all but i’m giving you the lead . . . . .. . .. .
So go on, go on and take it, don’t fake it, shake it
(charmin//crazy eyes have you are they gray or blue/i wont make the move/you must make the move/if you make the move/i will then approve/if you do not move/we will surely lose)
Don’t second guess your feelings you were right form the start
and i notice she’s your lover, but she’s nowhere near your heart
This city is for strangers, like the sky is for the stars
But i think it’s very dangerous if we do not take what’s ours
And i’m winning you with words because i have no other way
I want to look into your face without your eyes turning away
Last night i watched you sing because a person has to try
And i walked home in the rain because a person can not lie
