The Guy Who Says Goodbye

What I love about Sirius is that some days it just knows when to play me a good song. And today I got one while on my way to the post office and to grab some lunch. I met, for the first time, Griffin House and the song "The Guy Who Says Goodbye." I don't think any more explanation is necessary.

OK - maybe one thing is necessary. He plays in Charlotte on July 23! SWEET!

Lyrics:
ou don’t need to change a thing about you babe
I’m telling you from where I sit you’re one of a kind
Relationships I don’t know why they never work out and they make you cry
But the guy that says goodbye to you is out of his mind
Well I been down and I need your help I’ve been feeling sorry for myself
Don’t hesitate to boost my confidence
Well I been lost and need direction I could use a little love protection
What do you say, honey, come to my defense?
I’ll stand up for you if it’s what you need and I can take a punch I don’t mind to bleed
As long as afterwards you feel bad for me
And you give me all of your attention I got deep desire and it needs quenchin’
I think that’s pretty plain for you to see
Hell, enough about me and more about you ‘cause that’d be the gentlemanly thing to do
I hope you like your men sweet and polite
I thought I was done with telling you but I ain’t nearly half way through
I got a few more things I’d like to say to you tonight
You don’t need to change a thing about you babe
I’m telling you from where I sit you’re one of a kind
Relationships I don’t know why they never work out and they make you cry
But the guy that says goodbye to you is out of his mind
You always did kind of drive me crazy and it pissed me off ‘cause I let it faze me
But I never wanted my time with you to end
Now I’m back in town for a day or two and mostly I came back just to see you
I’m leaving now but I don’t want to go
You don’t need to change a thing about you babe
I’m telling you from where I sit you’re one of a kind
Relationships I don’t know why they never work out and they make you cry
But the guy that says goodbye to you is out of his mind

I Will Possess Your Heart

I haven't much listened to the new Death Cab for Cutie album, but this song is getting a lot of play on Sirius, and I like it. There is also some appropriateness.

Lyrics:
How I wish you could see the potential,
the potential of you and me.
It's like a book elegantly bound but,
in a language that you can't read.
Just yet.

You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.
You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.

There are days when outside your window
I see my reflection as I slowly pass,
and I long for this mirrored perspective
when we'll be lovers, lovers at last.

You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.
You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.
I will possess your heart.
I will possess your heart.

You reject my... advances... and desperately...
I won't let you... let me down... so easily.
So easily.

You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.
You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.
You gotta spend some time, Love.
You gotta spend some time with me.
And I know that you'll find, love
I will possess your heart.
I will possess your heart.
I will possess your heart.
