Remember this magical slow dance song from the good old junior high days? Sigh... Dancing with the dreamy guy with the skater cut? I heard this in the grocery store the other day and it took me back. Of course, the lyrics to me have always sounded like some skeezy guy wrote it to try to a girl into... well, something. Because, hello? "What would you do if my heart was torn in two? More than words to show you feel That your love for me is real." Although it does just make a girl want to drop her basket full of microwavable soup and slow dance... if there were someone not skeezy standing nearby.
(I got a "helloooo" from a guy selling newspapers on the way into the grocery store today. Which on the one hand was flattering, because he wasn't too skeezy for a salesman, but also made me question his sanity because I have a cold and feel like a big crusty piece of snot right now. And I swear I look like one too.)
This one on the other hand had my convinced that he would fight for me, yeah, he'd lie for me, walk the wild for me, yeah he'd DIE for me (or ask me to slow dance in the church gym, which is also hot). THAT was romance.
But this one is the best. Because it's about red. And because he has a feeling of complete and utter love. Red does that to him.
Do they even write slow dance songs like this anymore? Kids today don't know what they're missing out on.
Also this was going to be my wedding song. The talking part in the middle was the piece de resistance. My heart hurts, baby, I feel pain too.
