I'm overjoyed and over loved and feeling lucky
like a little boy who's hiding under covers
and looking to discover any way to play the part inside his darkened cave
well the meaning of life it starts at the nightlight
close your eyes and hope to see mine

well Iove seen a thousand things in one place
but I stopped my counting when I saw your face
erasing memory I feel as though I've never seen a face before
until I saw your eyes smiling back at me thru my tears
I've been counting all these years
Now suddenly the thousand things Iove seen were
nothing more than dreams of you and me

you and me quietly at a stand still
fortunately you will kiss me and I'll kiss you back
fact of the matter of is that I don't know what the latter is
that I always wanted to kiss you but
I always wanted to run from you
Because I always wanted to miss you
And that Iove always wanted to come for you

So how do you do?

    General Comment:hmmm i think this is about replacing that picture of the perfect girl in your head, when you see someone who specifically perfect to you :)

    General Comment:I dont know if this song was made while Mraz was dating Tristan Prettyman but I'm pretty sure that was his second love and this song might be about her. I think this song is about him finding the kind of love he most identifies with. This song conveys some sort of relief, like "Finally. shes mine...the girl whom I only once imagined and dreamed about having."

    General Comment:This song always reminds me of how my boyfriend can calm down the (bad) crazy in me. I have OCD and count things...

    General Comment:I adore this song, seriously, it's so beautiful. The beginning always has me swooning. I like how it talks about how simple love can be sometimes. You just look at each other, and any worry you had everything just goes away. This part:" I always wanted to run from you. Because I always wanted to miss you " Reminds me so much of something a friend once told me. How he always wished to mess something up with his girl just so he would have a reason to try and win her back. For some reason, it just reminded me of that, even though that's not what it means. So much love.

    General Comment:I think theres another song or poem or something with a similr theme but I can't think of what it is...

    it's all about how after meeting this person nothing else seemed very significant anymore, like they might as well not even exist. that's how glorious this one person is; she just outweighs thebeauty of all else. at least that's how I see it.

    General Comment:i absolutely love this song. there are times when i would put my ipod on repeat and listen to this song over and over for about 3 weeks straight.

    i agree with lethological... it's hard to interpret jmraz's songs word for word. but after listening to them, it just gives you this feeling and you automatically understand what he means.

    ]now suddenly the thousand things i've seen were nothing more than dreams of you and me.] brilliant!!

    General Comment:Simple love. It's the type of love that is so easy to understand. All you have to do is look at the person, and everything disappears. You lose everything, including your mind. Erasing memory well i feel as though i'd never seen a face before until i saw your eyes...explains it all
