The Grammy's

(I am transferring back posts from WordPress---I still don't like their platform!)
I'm always looking for theme songs for moments of my life...and Pink's "Glitter in the Air" hits it on the head. I have apparently had this song on my ipod forever, just never really listened- and man, it brought me to tears! Who knew that this hard rocking chic could belt out a ballad that is this beautiful??? For those that missed it- here's the video

And here are the lyrics-

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 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

Love means so much to me. I've had three major relationships in my adult life and was crushed by two of the them--the third was a charm and he is my life savor, my best friend, my lover and my biggest cheerleader. I can say that yes, I have closed my eyes and just trusted the feeling of love. Yes it's a terrifying feeling to know that someone has your heart and soul in their hands and that yes, they can totally crush you if they wanted. And it's an amazing feeling to know that crushing you is the last thought on their mind- their sole intent is to cup your soul so gently and so entirely that nothing in the world can get to it.
