26. Its not - Aimee Mann

http://365songstherapy.blogspot.com/

I keep going round and round on the same old circuit
A wire travels underground to a vacant lot
Where something I can't see interrupts the current
And shrinks the picture down to a tiny dot
And from behind the screen it can look so perfect
But it's not

So here I'm sitting in my car at the same old stop light
I keep waiting for a change but I don't know what
So red turns into green turning into yellow
But I'm just frozen here on the same old spot
And all I have to do is to press the pedal
But I'm not

People are tricky you can't afford to show
Anything risky anything they don't know
The moment you try - well kiss it goodbye

So baby kiss me like a drug, like a respirator
And let me fall into the dream of the astronaut
Where I get lost in space that goes on forever
And you make all the rest just an afterthought
And I believe it's you who could make it better
Though it's not
No it's not...
No it's not...

I can't stop listening to this song.

[kevboski82]

The current soundtrack of my life...

[likeashot42084]

I haven't heard this in a long time. Like 3 days :)

[Cicilo1983]

I can't think of any song that portrays depression as well as this one. Anyone who's ever been there - or who has been near someone going through a depression - can relate to what she's written. What a masterpiece...

It's not Aimee Mann???? Well exactly who is it then? ;)

[limestoneblocks]

I can listen to the Lost in Space album over and over and over and over again. ...and I do.

[Albatrosdante]

@maychen neither can I!

Such a beautiful soul this woman must have. I could spend an hour just fantasizing about what a perfect lifelong relationship she and I would have. Alas...perhaps in another life.
