Music & Earplugs

If you've followed me for any length of time at all, you know God created me to listen to music.  Well, maybe a little more than that, but He wants me to listen to music... a lot.  He wants this!  No, seriously.  My  dad teases me for the fact that every room I enter, the first thing I do is turn on an iPod, stereo, some sort of electronic device that fills the blank air with music.  Maybe I'm fascinated so much because I myself can't sing.  I wouldn't put myself in the 'nails down a chalkboard' category, but I'm no belting diva by any means either.  It's true, I was a choir nerd in high school, but in choir you can act like your singing and still get an A.  But of course, I never did that. Never.

Because of my infatuation for the musical angels, when I get hooked on a song... I seriously get hooked.  I play it on repeat everywhere I go.  I'm not kidding.  Everyone around me starts to wear ear plugs because they can't stand to listen to Mariah Carey's remix of Faithfully.  Has that come out yet?

For the past week, I've had THIS BABY on repeat.  Love it.  Love the emotion mixed with the raspy voice. 

how long have I
been in this storm
so overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
water's getting harder to tread
with these waves crashing over my head

if I could just see you
everything will be alright
if I'd see you
the storminess will turn to light

and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
and everything will be alright

I know you didn't
bring me out here to drown
so why am I 10 feet under and upside down
barely surviving has become my purpose
cause I'm so used to living underneath the surface

if I could just see you
everything will be alright
if I see you
the storminess will turn to light

and I will walk on water
and you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright

and I will walk on water
you will catch me if I fall
and I will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
everything's alright
