Day 1: Favorite Song

Going Back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
saying, "if you see this girl can you tell her where I am"

Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke I'm just a broken hearted man
I know it makes no sense but what else can I do
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you

Cause If one day you wake up and find your missing me
and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving

Policeman says, "son you can't stay here"
I said, "there's someone I'm waiting for If it's a day, a month, a year"
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go

Cause If one day you wake up and find your missing me
and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinkin maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving,
I'm not moving, I'm not moving

People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world

Maybe i'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
Maybe you wont mean to but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
cause you'll know it's just for you
Im the man who can't be moved

(Chorus 2x)

Going Back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move
 



I heard about this song when I went on facebook and found its lyrics on a friend's status. I was intrigued and decided to find the music video on youtube (just out of curiousity, which I am always burning of). I highly recommend every guy in the world to listen to this song. Seriously. Not. But anyway, it's not like I'm REQUIRING people to hear it... hahaha.


The line "I'm not moving" seems to tickle my skeptic self with questions like "what if you need to pee?" or "don't you have plans on taking a bath?". Seriously, I am THAT crazy. But beyond the invitation of cynism (due to lack of logical consideration... as you find in most songs anyway), the weird falsettos and the generic melody (and by generic I mean it could possibly compose of at most 8 notes... but I haven't tried playing it so I'm not so sure... I'll keep you posted when I do decide to play it...); I found myself completely moved by the song.

Yes, I do admit from the bottom of my (diseased) heart that I have cried ONCE (only once ha). I was in a fragile state and this (stupid) song was on (I had no idea who played it... *innocent look*)... and I guess every girl sometimes wishes that their guy (or... girl? whichever sexual preference you have... I'm not one to judge.) would sing them the same devotion to wait (because waiting is probably the most annoying thing to do... especially if you're hungry... I am serious about this one. I'm very cranky when hungry.)

There is something about a man waiting on a girl (who might or might never come) that just pleases the ever-so-sadistic nature (that I believe sleeps in every girl).


So why is this my favorite song?

I'm not sure of it myself. I'm pretty sure I can find other songs that contain mushy and heart-wrenching lyrics, but I do know that as of this moment (14:35, March 31, 2010).... This is my favorite song.
