collide


this is quite an old song i know but somehow ive only recently discovered it, and listening to it feels somewhat like finding a soulmate of a song (i know, im strange). the tune just really gets me... reaches that obscure part of you in a way few songs do.


putting it here so i can find it whenever i want :) enjoy...
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah

But I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find, you and I collide

I'm quiet, you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know
I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
You somehow find, you and I collide

Don't stop here
I've lost my place
I'm close behind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find, you and I collide

You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide

stuff, fluff & everything


its been so long since i last blogged i forgot my login and password!

the past few months have been a montage of rollercoaster highs and lows, surprises & blows. been on 2 trips - one to kl on a decadent food tour and another to hk for much needed time with dad. both memorable, snapshot filled times! also gleaned new gadgets, new toys :) been overwhelmed with ministry commitments - all worthy endeavors but somehow preps and needs have been culminating in the last 2 mths, which calls for diligent time mgt, perseverance & reliance on Him. serving with joy nonetheless. work has been tough with various frustrating situations presenting themselves... taunting and making me wonder if im cut out for it / it is cut out for me. dormant affections have been quietly blossoming, bringing about a new feeling ive termed subdued happyness :) much to give thanks for there esp since complicated and jaded me have tempered things with much prudence and fear, its a wonder he's still sticking around. more than that im thankful to Him for surprising me over and over with His meticulous care, foreknowledge. He who owns me is sovereign and very good... so i must trust in His provision and relax in His plans.

today has been an especially difficult day as i struggle with taking the blame and shame for choices i did not make. im praying for reconciliation soon as every moment delayed demands more will to resist resentment.

distracting me from the burden of the day & wk, is this song by Michael Buble. my current fave - Everything. on replay mode!

a simple, sweet, honest declaration through love's tainted lenses... check out video here and lyrics here:
You're a falling star
You're the getaway car
You're the line in the sand
When I go to far
You're the swimming pool
On an august day
And you're the perfect thing to say

And you play it coy but it's kinda cute
Oh when you smile at me you know exactly what you do
Baby don't pretend that you don't know it's true
Cause you can see it when I look at you

And in this crazy life
And through these crazy times
It's you
It's you
You make me sing
You're every line
You're every word
You're everything

You're a carousel
You're a wishing well
And you light me up
When you ring my bell
You're a mystery
You're from outer space
You're every minute of my every day

And I can't believe that I'm your man
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can
Whatever comes our way
We'll see it through
And you know that's what our love can do

And in this crazy life
And through these crazy times
It's you
It's you
You make me sing
You're every line
You're every word
You're everything

And so la la la la
So la la la la

And in this crazy life
And through these crazy times
It's you
It's you
You make me sing
You're every line
You're every word
You're everything

You're every song
And I sing along
Cause you're my everything

Yeah, yeah

So la la la la
So la la la la
... doesn't it make you wish you could be someone's everything in such an undeniable way? ;)
