feb 15/drops of jupiter

now that she's back in the atmosphere
with drops of jupiter in her hair
she acts like summer and walks like rain
reminds me that there's time to change
since the return from her stay on the moon
she listens like spring and she talks like june


this song is one of those song that have a wonderful lyric and the metaphors i could only dream about writing. i love everything about this song, it's so heart-wrenching the longing of a lover who's changing before his eyes without him realizing it.

9 years after its release, this song still brought tears to my eyes.

tell me did you sail across the sun
did you make it to the milky way to see the lights all faded
and that heaven is overrated

tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
one without a permanent scar
and did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

i don't know what draws me into this song, but it always drew me in like it has a gravity that tied up with it *deep....*

now that she's back from that soul vacation
tracing her way through the constellation
she checks out mozart while she does tae-bo
reminds me that there's room to grow

now that she's back in the atmosphere
i'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' jane
told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
and head back to the milky way
and tell me, did venus blow your mind
was it everything you wanted to find
and did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
your best friend always sticking up for you even when i know you're wrong
can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
the best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me


my favorite verse of the song.... "the best soy latte that you ever had and me..." so no matter how she grew and all the roads she traveled, she's still talking about him.

tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
and head back toward the milky way


all in all, this song always my favorite tune when i just want to lay back and recollect my thoughts.... drops of jupiter
