she stepped outside into the morning air to watch the
cars go by and let the sun dry her hair i wanted to tell her how beautiful she
was but i just stared i sat behind the wheel and watched the raindrops as they
gathered on the windshield and raced down into the humming motor and she
folded up her fears like paper airplanes and lost them in the trees and i know
i don't deserve this: the capacity to feel (to laugh and to cry and to praise)
for that i live and breathe and wake each day clean is nothing less than your
grace (in awkward and glorious movement).

    General Comment:this song has nothing to do with god, i promise.
    but wow, nothing has ever sounded so romantic as this song. there is a kind of creepy stalker aspect, but who cares? who wouldnt love someone thinking something like this about them. it almost makes me want to die. wow. wow. wow. i am in awe. no matter how many times ive heard it it always makes me ache the exact same way.

    General Comment:I used to love this song in high school, these days I have to skip it when I'm listening to the Power of Failing, 'cause the lyrics are kinda embarrassing at times.

    General Comment:this is my favorite song by mineral. what i love about them is that their lyrics are so broad that you can interpret them any way that you like, but they are always just exact enough that it's not too vague, and the imagery that they use in their songs are always just enough to paint the scene for you even if you can't relate. brilliant.

    General Comment:I think this song is amazing...It's got to be one of my favourites right now...i feel like i can relate to it also. There's this girl I really like, but I've never told her how i feel...mostly beacuse i don't think she feels the same way, but also because if she did i wouldn't know what to do. She's been one of my best friends for a long time and i really don't wanna ruin that....but whatever, sorry i wasted your guys' time :P
