Brand New Colony

This is one of my most favorite songs. I love the lyrics. So romantic. My favorite line,  "I'll be the fire escape that's bolted to the ancient brick. Where you will sit and contemplate your day" So beautiful!
 
Band: The Postal Service
Song: Brand New Colony
 
Link to song: http://ameru.eecafe.net/...and_New_Colony.mp3 Sorry but the quality kind of sucks.
 
Lyrics:
I'll be the grapes fermented,
Bottled and served with the table set in my finest suit
Like a perfect gentlemen
I'll be the fire escape that's bolted to the ancient brick
Where you will sit and contemplate your day

I'll be the waterwings that save you if you start drowning
In an open tab when your judgement's on the brink
I'll be the phonograph that plays your favorite
Albums back as your lying there drifting off to sleep...
I'll be the platform shoes and undo what heredity's done to you...
You won't have to strain to look into my eyes
I'll be your winter coat buttoned and zippedstraight to the throat
With the collar up so you won't catch a cold

I want to take you far from the cynics in this town
And kiss you on the mouth
We'll cut out bodies free from the tethers of this scene,
Start a brand new colony
Where everything will change,
We'll give ourselves new names (identities erased)
The sun will heat the grounds
Under our bare feet in this brand new colony
Everything will change, oOo oOo...

Ya! Love is a beautiful and tragic thing sometimes. All we can do is be strong and open. Don't fight love but don't be desperate to find it! Focus on yourself and love will find you, I'm sure of it. Every time I wanted a girlfriend, I could never find one. I would truly give up and promise myself to never date. Then a girl would come into my life and open my eyes to a whole new world. A brand new colony! Hehe

You know what dude, I can't get over your words. The first time I ever heard yet it was so helpful. For love, I can't fight or flight. Focus on myself and sometimes surrender a little. Having the feelings but not necessarily suppress or confess. It is easy and natural. I just copied your words on my wall so that I can remind myself. Love it soooooo much!Thanks!

Thank you for your kind words. I just woke up and I'm not feeling all that great today. But thanks to you, I'm in a great mood now. It's nice to know that I helped. Because, I've been there, life is so difficult sometimes, finding love is amazing but losing love is one of the most horrible feelings in life. The fact is that everyone goes through this, why? I don't know, for some reason or another we are meant to suffer. I believe that suffering can make us grow stronger or kill us. It hurts my heart to read all of these blogs about people being down. I want to reach out and give them a big hug but I can't, so I try to help with words.
