How I'm Feeling Now

給我一團熊火試煉我證明我這麼狠狠愛過期望不多只要得到過
你身旁那寶座
給我一場洪水冷靜我眼淚太多已匯聚成河力竭聲嘶請你喜歡我
什麼事都做過　都不能感動你麼

原來暫時共你沒緣份來年先會變得更合襯
頑石哪天變黃金　我可以等
融和二人是哪樣成份但願虔誠能顯得吸引
用五十年溶化你　成就金禧一吻

不夠激情仍可靠耐性對付你的冷酷及無情沉默假使都算種本領
我一定最安靜
深信忠誠遲早會獲勝那份固執終於都會被尊敬
如煉金般等你先轉性
除非遺失人性　怎可能一直結冰

頭白了　還在等　情人預約在黃昏

原來暫時共你沒緣份來年先會變得更合襯期待再苦再難堪我都會忍
談情十年未晚不怕等渡日如年仍覺得興奮
若最後能溶化你　何用心急手震

Hey you mentioned about a bookstore, do you own the bookstore? That would be very fun, I'd be posting my own staff recommendation on a 3 by 5 index card and stick it on the shelf and all that...

oh...the song...it's about giving your whole to someone but he doesn't respond or love the way you love him. It's sad.; 3/26/2006 7:34 PM
