hey there delilah - plain white T's... wonderful lyrics.

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This one's for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

Blog series - Traveller and his journey.

I kept thinking fast, moving fast and doing things faster. a wave of enthusiasm had engulfed me and i started loving what i was doing. i had to lose some on the way which could have cost me dearer later but fortunately they didn't. Living life with one thought in your mind was much simpler, the fact is u are never lost to decide upon something outside your mind. I had my priorities set right, they were few and concentrated upon the same. life became lighter and lighter until i kept flying high. i was never grounded on those memorable days. Talking about these to an good friend of mine, i felt good about my flying days. looking back i also take pride in what i did. as they say the path was cherished and taught me a lot. i was more passionate than ever before in my life and more thoughtful and single minded. i learnt to focus on things and learnt to execute them better. I was racing time and calender, patience built a castle in me until that chilly night back to my place. i kept a secret to myself till then that i wud never share my sorrows to anyone nor make people around me feel pity on me.one has to suffer his consequences to become better for the future. the truth could be that the consequence might even trigger a new beginning as i always hope for. but with time i brush it away to the side and get back on track to do what i do best. then it was gettin fast and worse, i started seeing things which i had'nt imagined. my dreams were different from reality. too far for me to understand anything goin around. i backtracked to check for mistakes, yes, quite a few, but they were open and i guess they spoke a lot about me. i had'nt followed what nature had advised mankind. i tried something different, too different for someone of my age. the thoughts that yielded my actions were'nt understood. perhaps it was my fault for choosing a different language, but again like music, love speaks only one language. the language of love itself. i understood, but i shud'nt have expected the other to do the same. i did and i suffered. thats when i realised the human way, a way with a mind and a chemistry on its own. i ardently solved the latter, i completely lost the former. though i cud'nt have done anything about it. my enthusiasm overlooked the scene. it took me above to show things that i have never seen and felt. i started liking the way, making me believe the end was even sweeter. after the chilly night, the end seemed farer, i was travelling the wrong path, there was no end and there was no fruit either, i was travellin with a stranger all of a sudden. she cud'nt understand what i was talkin. she used to wake up inbetween and ask me for water and biscuits, i assumed he had understood me and liked me for my way as a companio n. the thirst for water was there around for everyone and every passenger did the same when he was thirsty. perhaps it was too much optimistic of me to see beyond a companion. but she heard my stories, she laughed, she cried, she comforted me and made me feel better. i was'nt wrong about my decison to not let go of this person, i wanted to laugh, cry and comfort her the way she felt with me. it was true, the tears were warm i knew they came from deep inside. they must have come after a lot of turmoil too. i wanted her to travel alongside me, she understood my hunger better, my view and my way of travelling. i wasn't wrong, but i wasn't meant to travel alongside. i was packed light and i didnt travel with a map. may be he was too scared of my destination, may be my bag was'nt stuffed enough for her kind of travel. i did'nt bother to consider. they were not of much significance. but when she opened the window on one chilly night, i lost the plot. i thought i was travellin until then to some place but i wasn't. i had'nt sized up the situation. i read it hopefully and read it the way my mind wanted to see. the thirst for water was normal unlike any other living creature, the biscuits for hunger and some laughter/ cry to pass the travelling time too. maybe i stretched my mind to think about things alongside her. the journey beyond the destination was what i was all thinkin about. i was right in some way. i was planning the map ahead, but i forgot to ask where she was headin. she had different opinions. i had'nt. i just got one on the way. lucky. may be / may be not.

Blog series - A travelller's thoughts.

Have you ever felt a chill in your spine when u stand hugging urself tightly at the edge of a cliff and when it pours down heavily. The eyes become heavy with all that rain drops and still u try to keep ur eyes open and admire something u find beautiful across the edge. There was a strong westwind blowing across making the trees whistle, the cold air and ur wet clothes make u shiver, and it wud be more worse if u felt like crying for something that is running in ur mind. u really wudn't but it is one of those moments where ur tears get lost amongst the drops, ur body feels warm admist the cold, a nerve of comfort runs thru ur body making ur hair stand up and this comfort makes u break down even more until u collapse. its one of those moments which i believe one wudn't forget for any reason. i am nostlagic abt places, weather and scenarios. they remind me a lot abt " those " days of pain especially those which turned out to be good in the end. but its a nostalgia, i love to pause those moments, stop everything that i was doin, and look around to see if there is something that can make me happy. a life of an optimist is good to watch and read about for others, being an eternal one, sometimes we need something concrete to get a grip of life and things happenin around. i am drawn into conclusion right from my childhood, i think in more than 1 way and behave defenitely in few ways. sometimes/sometimes not, i think its misfortune if u dont have enough ignorance to not see things the way which can affect us in some way. originating from the same source, i see the coin in more than 2 ways as others wud say crazy. i have'nt learnt bliss from ignorance, neither the conviction to live as one can. the path seems clear sometimes, then blurred, missing sometimes and then back to square one. a kind of turmoil many people wud have gone thru for different reasons. mine was'nt but it was for some strange reason and hence it was unique like many others. a misery compounded by the fact that none other the victim can relate to it leave alone understanding it. And so when all this was happening to me, i was left with nothing much but to relish the moment in my own way. then it all happens, the fog clears and i left a different person only to return again with the same cloud over my head. a cloud that had formed on its own picking up everything in its way with ease as an optimist would like to see the world, call it madness but you wud sure not deny it for the moments u live. it taught me a lot of things which i cud'nt cope up with. but still i fought it the hard way. one upon the other, difficulties kept comin, everythin targeted at my emotions and reactions. juggling fire balls became difficult and i realised it a little later. when i felt the burns. now the burnt fingers handle hot things better than ever before.
