Starts Right Here

"Oh, my heart is a thoroughbred
I can't sleep in my bed
Everything is burning up inside me
I need something I can feel
Cigarettes and a driving wheel and
Oh my god, when you cross your legs beside me--

I know true love don't look like anybody else
I know your heart don't beat like anybody else

When it all comes down to kerosene
And sorry signs on cash machines
And it don't look like anything you've dreamed of
I won't let you give it up
With sorry sighs and forced bad luck
Come on baby, let's see what we're made of

I know true love don't look like anybody else
I know your heart don't beat like anybody else

And all these burning battlefields are now behind us
Life has brought us here together to remind us
That love will rise above it all and just keep growing
Life keeps flowing, and every moment starts right here with us."

--Mason Jennings, "Sorry Signs on Cash Machines."

The first time I heard this song, I fell in love with the person who gave it to me. It is the most romantic song I've ever heard in my life. There's not much more I can say about it, because it says everything on its own.
