Lyrically Speaking for June 8th

This week I wanted to change it up a little and go with a song that is much more mellow but still powerful in the words being sung. If you like any music by the Dave Matthews Band, you know that their songs can range from fun hits on the radio but you might not know that they have an array of songs that can really touch you and carry a powerful message.

In the song Say Goodbye, you can see what pain Dave Matthews or whoever wrote the song went through immense heartache and has an extreme desire for a particular woman. I think that most people can relate to the words being sung and even know the pain of wanting someone we can't have. I believe that the music for this song are as important as the lyrics and I highly suggest you give it a listen. The lyrics alone don't do this song justice.

From the amazing album Crash, this is Say Goodbye:

So here we are tonight You and me together The storm outside, the fire is bright And in your eyes I see What's on my mind You've got me wild Turned around inside And then desire, see, is creeping Up heavy inside here And know you feel the same way I do now Now let's make this an evening Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight Stay here with me, love, tonight Just for an evening When we make Our passion pictures You and me twist up Secret creatures And we'll stay here Tomorrow go back to being friends

Go back to being friends But tonight let's be lovers, We kiss and sweat We'll turn this better thing To the best Of all we can offer, Just a rogue kiss Tangled tongues and lips, See me this way I'm turning and turning for you Girl just tonight

Float away here with me An evening just wait and see But tomorrow go back to your man I'm back to my world And we're back to being friends Wait and see me, Tonight let's do this thing All we are is wasting hours until the sun comes up it's all ours On our way here Tomorrow go back to being friends

Go back to being friends Tonight let's be lovers, say you will And hear me call, soft-spoken whispering love A thing or two I have to say here Tonight let's go all the way then Love I'll see you, Just for this evening Let's strip down, trip out at this One evening starts with a kiss Run away

And tomorrow back to being friends Lovers...love...lovers Just for tonight, one night...love you And tomorrow say goodbye
