my favourite

Maybe



I'm strong, But I break
I'm stubborn, And I make plenty of mistakes
Yeah I'm hard, And life with me is never easy
To figure out, to love I'm jaded but oh so lovely

All you have to do is hold me
And you'll know and you'll see just how sweet it can beIf you'll trust me, love me, let me
Maybe, maybe

Someday, When we're at the same place
When we're on the same road
When it's OK to hold my hand Without feeling lost Without all the excuses
When it's just because you love me, you let me, you need meThen maybe, maybe
All you have to do is hold me
And you'll know and you'll see just how sweet it can beIf you'll trust me, love me, let me
Maybe, maybe

I'm confusing as hell
I'm north and south
And I'll probably never have it all figured out
But what I know is I wasn't meant to walk this world without you
And I promise I'll try
Yeah I'm gonna try to give you every little part of me Every single detail you missed with your eyes
Then maybe, Maybe yeah maybe, yeh maybe and maybe maybe

One day we'll meet again and you'll need me, you'll see me completelyEvery little bit
Oh yeah maybe you'll love me, you'll love me then

I don't want to be tough

And I don't want to be proud
I don't need to be fixed and I certainly don't need to be found
I'm not lost
I just need to be in love
I just need to be loved
I just want to be loved by you and I won't stop 'cause I believe that maybe, yeah maybe
Maybe, yeah maybe

I should know better than to touch the fire twice
But I'm thinking maybe, yeah maybe you're mine
Maybe, love maybe

while everyones racing to claim the best song/album/artwork/meltdown of the passing pop year, i only wanna draw your attention to my favourite recording, from my favourite album by a woman slowly becoming my favourite vocalist and lyricist. she thinks this is her 'december' but its really her jagged little pill. its epic in its ambitous scale as it delves ever deeper into the painful numbness caused by kellys evident loss, until that numbness is reworked thru vocals and arrangements that add emotion to lyris which self referentially seem to come from a person thats emoitonless, this is like an emo's wetdream, reminds me of a dennis cooper novel and plays out like a masochistic alanis with each track hurting more than the last.

Ashlee Simpson - Outta my Head (Ay ya ya)

i hated it on first listen now i love it kinda song that may well mark a turn in Asshlee's career the video is all a little too kooky but its a nice little risk taker reminds me of Billie Piper for some reason? but it most certainly reminds everyone else of the beat from Maneater, the throb of blackout, and the yelps of cyndi's oeuvre.
