Favorite Find of the Day

Driving home from Columbia today I listened to P!nk's new album. I'm a fan of her music because it's got attitude and she is always true to herself. I also love the fact that while she has a tough exterior, she also has a very soft side (that is so rarely seen)...this little gem is the last song on the album, and it is a beaut! There are some beautiful lines in this song...I hope you'll take a moment to listen to it online.

Glitter in the Air

Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don't care?

It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg, the sun before the burn
The thunder before the lightning, the breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table, the walk before the run
The breath before the kiss and the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?

La La La La La La La La

There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee, calling me sugar
You called me sugar

Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself
Will it ever get better than tonight? Tonight

Why?

You have left me questioning;
closed doors were reopened
and I find myself in limbo, again.
The healing process is slowed by your ripping
the band aid off, fast and without warning.

Why?
Why pull me into the
doubts you may be having?

I found a small place in my heart to store
my disappointment, while I placed
your happiness, your joy, your future
at the forefront.

It was not easy, but I did it.

Why?
Why disrupt the progress?
Why tell me things were best when we were together?
Why make me question your happiness,
when it was the one salvation I had for a breaking heart?
