Day 4: A Song You Want Played At Your Wedding

Even though it's only day 4, I'm already having a hard time with this post. I don't like thinking about the future much, so planning for an event that won't happen for a long time is definitely a challenge. Another problem is that the kind of music that I like wouldn't really fit in with a wedding atmosphere. I'm pretty sure punk rock or techno songs aren't the norm for formal events such as this. And what about the other songs I like? Yeah, they're mellow and soft, but the lyrics are usually about heartbreak, which is the opposite of the message I would like to convey on that particular day.

I've thought of songs like My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion and Everytime We Touch by Cascada, but the problem is that they are some of my favorite songs. I wouldn't want to associate something that was special for me with the thought of 'us'. So I also have to cross out those choices from my list. Fudge.

Eventually, I had to resort to trusty old Google. I found plenty of lists of love songs and I had to skim through them all to get a good idea. I checked out a few, but the lyrics just wouldn't match what I had in mind. Finally, I thought of a song that would sound nice, even though it wasn't really on any list that I saw.



You and Me - Lifehouse Lyrics

What day is it
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up, and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time

'Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me
And all the other people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

Why are the things that I want to say
Just aren't coming out right?
I'm tripping on words
You got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

'Cause it's you and me
And all of the people people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me
And all other people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

Something about you now
That I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right

'Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you and me
And all the other people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all the other people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
