Counting Crows

Here are just a few of my favorite lyrics from Counting Crows. Chels and I are going to DTE tomorrow to see them and I cant wait. I dont like to say I have a favorite band because music is pretty huge to me and I have many favs but CC is one of the tops. I love Adam Duritz and when I see his shows I feel like Im there alone and he's singing to me. I don't even find him very attractive, although I do love his dreads. But there is something about his voice and the way he sings with everything he has inside him waiting to burst out. And anyone that can do that night after night in faceless random towns, I will be a huge fan of. I love there old and new stuff, I love The Himalayans (AD's other band) and I love that he can play almost every instrument that I can think of. ohh and I love that he writes all his music. I cant count how many shows Ive been to but Ive seen them in a few different places too. Arizona. Colorado, San Diego and good ol' Ohio too. The more I write the more I realize that I should come to grips that I think they are my favorite band. Woo Hoo cant wait!
Bring your plastic red cups! (inside joke for CT)


*If I could give all my love to you I could justify myself but I'm just not coming through You're a pill to ease the pain of all the stupid things i do I'm an anchor on the line of a clock that tells the time that is running out on you

*And mornings spreading out across the feathered thighs of angels
Oh were did we disappear to the silence that surrounds us and then drowns us in the end

*Wrap her up in a package of lies Send her off to a coconut island

*This time when kindness falls like rain It washes her away and Anna begins to change her mind "these seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days" she says.

*She s talking in her sleep it's keeping me awake And Anna begins to toss and turn And every word is nonsense but I understand and and oh lord. I m not ready for this sort of thing

*Caught some grief from a falling leaf As she tumbled into the dirty ground And said I should have put her back there if I could Well everyone needs a better day And I'm tryin' to find me a better way To get through the things I do and the things I should

*Got no place to go but there's a girl waiting for me down in Mexico She's got a bottle of tequila, a bottle of gin And if I bring a little music I can fit right in

*Well baby I surrender To the strawberry ice cream Never ever end of all this love Well I didn't mean to do it But there's no escaping your love

*All at once you look across a crowded room To see the way that light attaches to a girl

*I can't remember all the times I tried to tell my myself To hold on to these moments as they pass

*Well I woke up in mid afternoon cause that's when it all hurts the most I dream I never know anyone at the party and I'm always the host If dreams are like movies then memories are films about ghosts You can never escape, you can only move south down the coast

*If you've never stared off into the distance then your life is a shame And though I'll never forget your face sometimes I can't remember my name

*When I see you, a blanket of stars covers me in my bed

*We drove out to the desert just to lie down beneath this bowl of stars We stand up in the Palace, like it's the last of the great pioneer town bars Aw, we shout out these songs against the clang of electric guitars Well, you can see a million miles tonight But you can't get very far

*Taffy stuck, tongue tied Stuttered shook and uptight Pull me out from inside

*I'm alive, I'm alive But I'm sinking in If there's anyone at home at your place, darling Why don't you invite me in?

*she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land just like she's walking on a wire in the circus

*she knows she's just a little misunderstood she has trouble acting normal when she's nervous

*Round here we're carving out our names Round here we all look the same Round here we talk just like lions But we sacrifice like lambs Round here she's slipping through my hands

*I remember me And all the little things that make up a memory Like she said she loved to watch me sleep Like she said: "It's the breathing, it's the breathing in and out and in and..." Have you seen me lately?

*She sees shooting stars and comet tails She's got heaven in her eyes She says I don't need to be an angel But I'm nothing if I'm not this high But we only stay in orbit For a moment of time

*Gotta rush away she said I've been to Boston before Anyway, this change I've been feeling doesn't make the rain fall No big differences these days Just the same old walkways Someday Im going to stay, but not today..
