Song Lyrics

Listening to Edwin McCain’s “I’ll Be”.  Very interesting lyrics.  You can hear the sadness of his love.  The line that says, I’ll be better when I’m older.  I may have this all wrong, but it sounds to me like a guy who’s getting it all wrong, but his girl is sticking it out with him in spite of his faults.
Kind of reminds me of my wife, Pam.  She’s stuck with me for 18 years now.  

Wow… Am I that old???

Man… it’s amazing that she’d be willing to stick it out through my moodiness,

• my melancholy days


• my angry days


• my hyper days


• my fits of rage


• my days when I don’t know what’s wrong and can’t tell her why

I guess Pam exemplifies God’s love.  She’s patient, she’s kind, and she’s not proud or boastful.  She’s pretty great.  

Song just changed.  Edwin is singing “I could not ask for more”.  
I really couldn’t.
I dream of winning the lottery and building a really cool cutting-edge church and being a full-time minister.  I dream of all the things I could do if only my bill-paying job was out of the way.
Have I enslaved myself to this job with all the stuff I own?  I have a big house, but I have a big mortgage too.  I have two nice cars, only one of which is paid off.  I have a big old theater room; at least I own that outright.  (Thanks Heather for the re-fi).
What was I talking about?
Song changed again.  Jeffrey Gaines is doing an “In Your Eyes” cover.  Very cool.
Amazing how so many love songs can be pointed right at God and never sound weird.
I guess since He invented love, it helps to involve Him.

But that’s just what I think.
