Love Song

Love Song, also a lovely song. It is the 'iTune free download' of this week. I downloaded and listened to it while biking home last night. I also played it to FanFan. He loves it!

If you have iPod and iTune, you can go to the iTune Shop to download it for free.

One thing interesting, while I searched the lyrics on the Internet, I found there are several words in the second half of the song, right after "help me see the daylight", no one knows what that is, and all written as "my ???"(labeled in the lyrics below). Can you tell what she sings?

In the iTune version, this part was deleted, so you can only hear it in the MVs below (about at the point when 1:23 left in the second MV).

Sara Bareilles - Love Song (Live)



Sara Bareilles - "Love Song" at Pappy & Harriet's 10-07-06


Head under water and you tell me to breathe easy for awhile \ The breathing gets harder even I know that \ Made room for me \ It's too soon to see if I'm happy in your hands I'm unusually hard to hold on to

Blank stares at blank pages \ No easy way to say this \ You mean well but you make this hard on me

I'm not gonna write you a love song \ Cause you ask for it \ Cause you need one \ You see, I'm not gonna write you a long song \ Cause you tell me it's make or breakin' this \ If you're on your way I'm not gonna write you to stay \ If all you have is leavin' I'm gonna need a better reason to write you a love song today \ Today

I learnt the hard way that they all say things you wanna hear \ My heavy heart sinks deep down under you and Your twisted words \ Your help just hurts \ You are not what I thought you were \ Hello to high and dry

Convinced me to please you made me think that I need this too \ I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

I'm not gonna write you a love song \ Cause you ask for it \ Cause you need one \ You see, I'm not gonna write you a long song \ Cause you tell me it's make or breakin' this \ If you're on your way I'm not gonna write you to stay \ If all you have is leavin' I'm gonna need a better reason to write you a love song today

Promise me you'll leave the light on to help me see the daylight (My ???) \ Cause I believe there's a way you can love me because I say

I won't write you a love song \ Cause you ask for it \ Cause you need one \ You see, I'm not gonna write you a love song \ Cause you tell me it's make or breakin' this \ Is that why you wanted a love song? \ Cause you asked for it \ Cause you need one \ You see I'm not gonna write you a love song \ Cause you tell me it's make or breakin this if you're on your way \ I'm not gonna write you to stay \ If your heart is nowhere in it I don't want it for a minute \ Babe, I walk the seven seas when I believe that there's a reason to write you a love song today \ Today
