Send "Rest of My Life" Ringtone to Cell

There are worse ways for
A guy to spend his time
Than to sit and think of you
I think I'd marry you
Just your smile
Leaves me satisfied
Though you're not mine

So for the rest of my life
I'm gonna search
For someone just like you

And we tend the garden
All day long
Watching history unfold
And I'd be enough
And you'd be enough
And we'd grow old

So for the rest of my life
I'm gonna search
For someone just like you

For the rest of my life
I'm gonna search
For someone just like you

Yeah, for the rest of my life
I'm gonna search
For someone just like you

    General Comment:I guess he's not gay but it SOUNDS like it's about being gay. It's a nice song.

    General Comment:Dude, any guy who knows and sings songs by Rilo Kiley automatically wins my heart. Musical taste is the number one thing I look for in a guy.

    General Comment:I love this song so much, it's so sad, because you see that he knows that wanting her is so impossible that he wants someone like her, not her directly....I don't know if that makes any sense, but great song

    General Comment:No, Blake isn't gay! He was dating Jenny for a while. It's possible that this song is about her, actually.

    At least I hope he isn't gay...otherwise my marrying him could be a little awkward.

    General Comment:Isn't Blake gay? I always took it as a gay guy longing over a straight guy but he knows he'll never get him.

    General Comment:This song is beautiful. I was so close to singing it to a guy I really like. o_o;; I don't know if he feels the same way or not, but it seems appropriate.

    "Just your smile leaves me satisfied, though you're not mine." Damn, couldn't have said it better myself.
