Waiting

Echo in the emptiness
Can you hear my silent scream?
The one asking you to be with me?
You cursed me with your evil lips
With each and every single kiss.
The kisses that broke the unbreakable-
You always seem to do the things I think impossible.

And your tongue found the part of me that said I wouldn't let you know.
But now you know that I want you so,
And how hard it'll be to ever let you go.

So you wrap me tightly around you finger,
Knowing I'll hold on tight.
Wanting you so bad--
I could almost die.
You keep me waiting,
Make me linger just so,
And when I think I'm over you,
I've got no where else to go

I convinced myself to not try to convince you,
If you want to be with me,
Then that's exactly what you'll do.
So I stand here waiting,
As always, anticipating.
And if you think you'll hurt me,
you probably will,
So get it over with,
Go for the kill.

Don't say you're too busy,
To let my heart down.
You're avoiding the inevitable,
Slowly letting me drown.

I'm hoping to hear the opposite of what I'm preparing for,
I just want to be with you,
And truly, nothing more.

So you wrap me tightly around you finger,
Knowing I'll hold on tight.
Wanting you so bad--
I could almost die.
You keep me waiting,
Make me linger just so,
And when I think I'm over you,
I've got no where else to go

I hold on so tight,
As if you are already mine.
But the truth remains
I still don't know,
Do you want me or should I go?
I can't wait forever,
And I promise I wont, I refuse.
Don't keep me waiting,

Just let me get over you. 

You keep me waiting,Make me linger just so,And when I think I'm over you,I've got no where else to go

Haven't Met You Yet

I'm sure you've heard this on the radio recently. It's a really beautiful song. It's great for those who feel like they'll never find the one. Check out the lyrics if you don't know what I mean. Download this song, or, like me Download the whole album Crazy Love, it's classical and jazzy, but yet is current as well. I love how Michael B. can pull that off. The title song, Crazy Love is amazing, fun, and catchy, be sure to give that a listen as well.

Haven't Met You Yet:

I'm not surprised.
Not everything lasts.
I've broken my heart so many times I stopped keeping track.
Talk myself in.
I talk myself out.
I get all worked up, then I let myself down.

I tried so very hard not to lose it.
I came up with a million excuses.
I thought I thought of every possibility.

And I know someday that it'll all turn out.
You'll make me work so we can work to work it out.
And I promise you, kid, that I'll give so much more than I get.
I just haven't met you yet.

I might have to wait.
I'll never give up.
I guess it's half timing,
And the other half's luck.
Wherever you are.
Whenever it's right.
You'll come out of nowhere and into my life.

And I know that we can be so amazing.
And baby your love is gonna change me.
And now I can see every possibility.

But somehow I know that it'll all turn out.
And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out.
And I promise you, kid, I'll give so much more than I get.
I just haven't met you yet.

They say all's fair

In love and war.
But I won't need to fight it.
We'll get it right and,
We'll be united.

And I know that we can be so amazing.
And being in your life is gonna change me.
And now I can see every single possibility, mmmm.

And someday I know it'll all turn out.
And I'll work to work it out.
Promise you, kid, I'll give more than I get,
Than I get, than I get, than I get.

You know it'll all turn out.
And you'll make me work so we can work to work it out.
And I promise you, kid, that I'll give so much more than I get.
I just haven't met you yet.

I just haven't met you yet.
Ohh, promise you, kid, to give so much than I get.

(I said love, love, love, love...)
I just haven't met you yet
I just haven't met you yet.

Extra bonus: Crappy Song OTW: Eenie Meenie by Sean Kingston and Justin Bieber. Not J. Bieber's biggest fan, but I give him credit for being so young, having great talent, and being down to earth and hecka funny in interviews. I just wish he, and S. Kingston never made this song. It's rediculous. I'll add this song to the "change the station when this song comes on" list. ;)

Lyrics by Elle OTW

I told you this blog was going to be a little bit of everything, didn't I? Mostly, it's about things I follow in the entertainment industry. Music, Television, Celebrities, Movies, and so on. But it's also about me. Those who read blogs about entertainment want to feel a connection to the writer as well (at least that's how I feel). And obviously I love to write, and I want to share that with you. That's why two out of the seven OTW's are going to be more personal. For example, Friday's will be Lyrics by Elle of the Week.

I've been writing poetry and lyrics for as far back as I can remember. I still keep all my notebooks from high school, because they have more of my lyrics/poems than notes for classes. (Yea, I didn't do so well in school...) I love to share my best lyrics with the world, but I can't sing and I can't play an instrument (Well, I did play the clarinet way back in the day). So the only way I can really share my writing with everyone is by posting it online. (and reading it to whoever who will listen!)

Every Friday I will post either some of my best lyrics or maybe some brand new lyrics. For the first one, I will post my first ever shared lyrics. This was a song I wrote in high school and the first song I even remember reading and sharing with people. It also happens to be one of my first posts on my myspace blogs. It's a little different than the original, as I grow as a writer, I learn how to make previous songs even better than they were. Check it out.

Lyrics by Elle of the Week:





-Romantic-

You sang as you strummed your guitar
You seemed so near but yet so far
I watched your lips as words flowed out
I tried to read your mind-to see what you were thinking about
You laid down your guitar
And then held me in your arms

Now this may seem romantic as I sing these words,
But keep listening to my story- Things don't get better,
They only get worse

It wasn't just me and you,
There was someone else too.
He strummed his guitar,
He was in his own little world,
But remembering something I said,
You said I must keep my word.
This may seem romantic as i sing these words
But keep listening to my story
Things don't get better,
They only get worse

I did what I did,
because I wanted to,
Who would've known I would fall so hard for you?
It's my own mistake-for falling for your games,
But what can I say?
I wanted to play.

Is this seeming less romantic as I sing these words?
That's because it is, as things don't get better,
They only get worse

Call me naive,
I didn't think that's all you'd want me for,
But after that night,
you don't talk to me anymore,
Tell me what that's all about?
I fell hard for you, there's no doubt.

Not the romantic story you thought I would sing
Cos in the end guys only want one thing

Yeah this isn't romantic,
No, not at all,
I'm singing this song,
As I increasingly fall.
This isn't romantic,
Not your typical love song...
I'm singing of all that's messed up,
And all that goes wrong.
It's about all the mistakes-
That just happened to be made,
And about those boys who strum their guitars-
As you fall for their games

This may seem less romantic,
And more pathetic as I sing these words,
That's because it is when things don't get better,
They only get worse.

Song OTW

It's Tuesday. And it's time for my first official Song OTW! I thought I'd start out with a simple song. It's beautiful, short (only 40 seconds), and straight to the point. It's also in my depressing, I'll always love him, pathetic love songs playlist on iTunes. (We all have some version of this playlist right?)

The Song of the week is:

Parachutes by Coldplay

Let me start by saying I'm not the biggest Coldplay fan (don't hurt me, please!). But this song is brilliant. Like i said, it's straight to the point. Only 40 seconds long and all these feelings rush through me. I love when a song can make me think of someone or something, even if it's not something I really want to dwell on.

The lyrics are:

In a haze, a stormy haze
I’ll be round, I’ll be loving you, always
Always

Here I am and I'll take my time
Here I am and I’ll wait in line, always
Always

Beautiful, right? We all wait for that someone, maybe it's someone we already met, or someone we are hoping to meet. Uh, well, actually, maybe you're one of the people who didn't have to wait, and you are already with the love of your life. In that case, leave my blog right at this moment. I can't look at you.

haha. I joke.

In all seriousness. This song is fan-freakin'-tastic. Download it now. Yea, right this second! :)

(Hopefully I'll figure out how to post songs without the videos by next week, so you can listen to my Song OTW's before downloading them)
