Elephants

Just when Rachael Yamagata released her newest album Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart, I just played the Elephants (first part of the album) all the time. The mood was perfect, so as the lyrics. Just haunting how sad love is. Now listen again, it's moves me even more.

So for those of you falling in love,
keep it kind, keep it good, keep it right.
Throw yourself in the midst of danger, but keep one eye open at night.

Oh and sometimes in my dreams I hear you say,
"If you really care you won't go away"
What if I leave...

I'm not gonna live for you or die for you
won't do anything anymore for you
cause you leave me here on the other side

But I remember what we said as we lay down to bed
I'll forgive you oh if you just come back home

I really thought I was okay.
I really thought I was just fine,
But when I woke this time,
There was nothing to take me back to sleep, to take you off my mind
