Don’t worry. I’m just talking about myself. I don’t like myself when I start getting all sentimental and emotional for no obvious reasons. I really hate it. But I feel compelled to share this song (and it’s lyrics) with my fellow readers.
I know I’ve always liked country music, (I know… ewww) it’s just that I’m not really proud to admit it in the open (just like my Westlife? WTF Dude? entry previously), but country music really can tug your (okay, MY) heart strings sometimes. And this song.. well, I just wish I had the talent to write such deep, meaningful and beautiful lyrics. It’s poetic and it really definitely strike a cord within me. This song is deep, man. So deep.
Seriously? I think I’m about to hit the dreaded mid-life crisis. Country music. Feeling sentimental. What the fuck? But enjoy this song, anyway.
Find Yourself by Brad Paisley
When you find yourself in some far off place
And it causes you to rethink some things
You start to sense that slowly you’re becoming someone else
And then you find yourself
When you make new friends in a brand new town
And you start to think about settlin’ down
The things that would have been lost on you are now clear as a bell
And you find yourself
Yeah that’s when you find yourself
Where you go through life so sure of where you’re headin’
And you wind up lost and it’s the best thing that could have happened
Cause sometimes when you lose your way it’s really just as well
Because you find yourself
Yeah that’s when you find yourself
When you meet the one that you’ve been waiting for
And she’s everything that you want and more
You look at her and you finally start to live for someone else
And then you find yourself
That’s when you find yourself
When we go through life so sure of where we’re headin’
And we wind up lost and it’s the best thing that could have happened
Cause sometimes when you lose your way it’s really just as well
Because you find yourself
Yeah that’s when you find yourself
