You're the only angel in my life.
I've been listening to I'm Yours by The Script nonstop. It has been literally on repeat for six days already. Having said that, let me explain what the song is about and why I love it so much.
For starters, I've always loved The Script. It sucks big time that I missed their concert here in Singapore but I am hoping they would come back.
I was introduced to their music by one of my closest friends back in college. The song is called "Breakeven" and I am sure as hell that everybody knows that. All radio stations have played it a bajillion times and it has been a favorite live band request for years. I loved it, too and at some point, it was the theme song of my life. That being said, I'm glad I have left that ground behind and I have moved on to "I'm Yours" which is quite a happier song.
There are songs that you like listening to because the melody is good but there are songs you can't stop listening to because it speaks to you. This is one of those songs.
"You touch these tired eyes of mine and map my face out line by line. And somehow growing old feels fine."
These are the first few lines of the song and these are my favorite. Initially, I thought it was because the guy was way older than the girl but listening to it everyday, I've realized that it's about the "growing old together" kind of love.
"I listen close for I'm not smart. You wrap your thoughts in works of art and they're hanging on the walls of my heart. I may not have the softest touch, I may not say the words as such and though I may not look like much, I'm yours. And though my edges may be rough. I never feel I'm quite enough. It may not seem like very much but I'm yours. You healed these scars over time. Embraced my soul, you loved my mind. You're the only angel in my life."
This is the part where the guy hopes that the girl will accept him for who he is. Isn't that what love is about? Embracing the chaos within the person and loving every version of him, the good, the bad, the ugly, the best.
"The day news came, my best friend died. My knees went weak and you saw me cry. Say I'm still the soldier in your eyes."
These lines are also on my favorites list. I think the best kind of love is when you let that person know that he can be vulnerable around you but you wouldn't make him feel like he is weak. He can fall apart in front of you but you would remind him that he is so strong, the world doesn't stand a chance against him.
