Lyrics

Anyone who really knows me and music knows that I am a sucker for lyrics. I like a good beat but when it comes down to it, 9 times out of 10 the lyrics decide whether or not I like a song. Here is a song that has been on my mind and my heart for a couple days. I even made it my ringtone. I love it. My little sister Emi has been telling me to go check out this artist so I finally did and I found this song, which I had heard a couple times but didn't fall in love with til just earlier this week. My mom teases me that I am a hopeless romantic and it's true. This song makes me happy.

I'd Rather Be with You - Joshua Radin

Sitting here, on this lonely dock
Watch the rain play on the ocean top
All the things I feel I need to say
I can't explain in any other way

I need to be bold
Need to jump in the cold water
Need to grow older with a girl like you
Finally see you are naturally
The one to make it so easy
When you show me the truth
Yeah, I'd rather be with you
Say you want the same thing too

Now here's the sun, come to dry the rain
Warm my shoulders and relieve the pain
You're the one thing that I'm missing here
With you beside me I no longer fear

I need to be bold
Need to jump in the cold water
Need to grow older with a girl like you
Finally see you are naturally
The one to make it so easy
When you show me the truth
Yeah, I'd rather be with you
Say you want the same thing too

I could have saved so much time for us
Had I seen the way to get to where I am today
You waited on me for so long
So now, listen to me say:

I need to be bold
Need to jump in the cold water
Need to grow older with a girl like you
Finally see you are naturally
The one to make it so easy
When you show me the truth
Yeah, I'd rather be with you
Say you want the same thing too
Say you feel the way I do
