And another one...(junior year in college...very...umm...just very)...

Last Goodbye by Jeff Buckley

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it’s over
Just hear this and then I’ll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you’ll ever know

This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face
Why can’t we overcome this wall
Well, maybe it’s just because I didn’t know you at all

Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know it makes me so angry ’cause I know that in time
I’ll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye

Did you say ’no, this can’t happen to me,’
And did you rush to the phone to call
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind
Saying maybe you didn’t know him at all
You didn’t know him at all, oh, you didn’t know

Well, the bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories
Offer signs that it’s over... it’s over

ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD. THIS REMINDS OF THE MORNINGS I WOULD GET READY FOR SCHOOL, AS THE DAYLIGHT PEAKED THROUGH MY DUSTY CURTAINS. I WOULD HUM THE SONG WHILE I WALKED TO THE JEEPNEY STOP AT THE END OF MY STREET (WHICH INTERSECTED BANAWE). THEN I'D RIDE THE FX TO SCHOOL WITH LSS (LAST SONG SYNDROME). I WISH I WERE 18 AGAIN...ANY AGE THAT HAD THE SUFFIX "TEEN" IN IT. LOL.

The connection that CB and LL have to this song is ironic. AGO had me listen to this song because it was supposedly my theme song for LL. On the other hand, CB and I connected because he was surprised I knew the artist and the song when we heard it on the soundtrack of "Vanilla Sky." Hmmm...(lost in thought)
