The Postal Service-Be Still My Heart

I was running late for work
So I didn't change my shirt
The evening's drinks left a lingering taste in my mouth
And when I left
You were fast asleep
Tangled in the sheets
And on the bus I could have sworn it was all a dream
And it didn't happen to me

And then I felt the scrapes
From the slippery subway grate.
Oh how you laughed
At my complete lack of grace.
But I could not recall
A more perfect fall
Cause when I looked up into your eyes
It didn't hurt at all.

And I thought, be still my heart
This could be a brand new start, with you.
And it will be clear
If I wake up and you're still here with me in the morning.

And I thought, be still my heart
This could be a brand new start, with you.
And it will be clear
If I wake up and you're still here with me in the morning.

i've listened to this song like a bazillion times but the lyrics never stuck out to me before the way it did today.i felt like today when i listened to the song, the words being sung were just obnoxiously blaring at me; forcing me to listen and soak in every single word. when i was listening to the song i was no longer distracted by the catchy tune and chorus like i used to be. and i'm glad it happened this way because it gave me a lot of insight on how i should approach love. hehe <3
this is the outlook on love that i got from the lyrics of this song.
love gives you a sense of secureness. you can get a feeling of familiarity and redundancy when you're with the one you love. you wake up every morning expecting your loved one to be right next to you. you know their habits; you know what makes them happy; you know what makes them sad; you feel like you know them inside out. sometimes you may even feel a little annoyed that there's no longer any excitement or spontaneity between you two. but please dont forget that when the familiarity and redundancy is taken out of your life you can begin to feel very lost and insecure.
there's always gonna be bumps and detours on your journey finding love. you may get scraped and bruised along the way, but don't give up! just laugh it off and charge on forward. it's ok to be vulnerable and blindly trust in the person you love. by taking a chance, you can potentially gain much more than what you can potentially lose. there's always gonna be that someone out there who can mend your broken heart and heal your wounds. =)
the chorus really appealed to me. it acted as words of encouragement for me.
i need to follow my heart and hope for the best. there may be days where i'm gonna get hurt, days where i feel like giving up, days where i feel bored, and days where i wish i never knew you. but i know for a fact there's always gonna be tomorrow to look forward to. i should look at tomorrow as a "brand new start" for us. i should also be thankful that you're still by my side through it all. <3
