You know that point when your listening to a cd and your like- just one more song, and it plays, and your like, god, these lyrics, they are just so right, every time, and then, before you can hit the stop button the next song starts up and you just don't have the heart to do it. You can't turn it off now. It's like everything he is saying, signing, is meant for you. Even though you didn't know it, you'd need his song at some point in your life. You liked the song before you even had an experience that related to it at all. When you first heard the song you thought, how could anyone let it get like that? I wont let this get like that. But now, the song is so much more then just "that". It's become undeniable. And then all of a sudden everything sucks. The song knows you better then your friends. The lyrics are your feelings expressed delicately and flawlessly through his song. The song contains one exact moment in time you wish didn't exist at all. If it didn't you wouldn't have to feel like you do right now. It keeps playing over and over again in your head. On and off, back and forth. And you wonder, how did it turn out for you? This circumstance in the song, did you just get over it? Did you move on? But how could you? And in that instant you know him just as well as you know yourself. All because you couldn't turn it off.
