Sometimes... You Can't Make It On Your Own...
"Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough
You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
We fight all the time
You and I...that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need...I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can - you - hear - me - when - I -
Sing, you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me...
Where are we now?
I've got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone...
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own..."
This was the first song Bobby and I danced to nearly two months ago. I'd never really listened to the lyrics. I was just so delighted to be in the arms of such a handsome, mysterious man. Little did I realize just how true they were. The drive to work is a long one. It gives me a lot of time to think and clear my mind. Many times, I'll simply listen to the radio or a CD, and get lost in the music. As I flipped through stations aimlessly, I heard this song playing. It brought back good memories- which is something I can definitely use right now. So often I rely on the memories of a better time, to get me through a difficult time in the present.

I heard this song live about 7 months ago-It was the 4th time that I'd seen U2. Bono wrote this for his dad, but it's so universal, isn't it.
PS-good choice of songs to dance to.
aaww...
Good memories are -- um-- good! Definitely.
Hang in there Chloe.

If you get a chance, D.M are going to be in NYC later this year-go! Take "your Bobby", and get a floor seat. I love my mom, but I would have enjoyed it a lot more with my GIF. The music is so sexy.....and my name is not Edipus!
"I feel you" was amazing-sexy and powerful, no doubt!
