when you thought you would never stand out.

Tonight, eventful? Fairly. Me and a few friends attending Copeland and switchfoot this evening. Mainly copeland, we left two songs into switchfoot and made our way to the living room for tea and cheese cake. Anyways I have to say, after sitting down with aaron marsh, I have a new respect, don't get me wrong, Copeland has been one of my favorite bands for as long as I can remember listing to this style of music. You just see a different side to the person behind the music, its neat. Copelands set tonight definitly met me where I was, I was in the mood, so to speak. Their set was more then enjoyable.

Two that met me where I was.



YOU HAVE MY ATTENTION

Quiet now, your voice seems miles away
Yet somehow, I hear your song resound
A little bit softer each day
And from my tired heart, a little bit farther away

I’ll sing along
The whole day through
Just do your best to hear me
It’s all you can do

You have my attention
Like you’ve had all the while
Since that first day when you made my heart smile
With loving eyes and tired sighs that flow
You have my attention
Like a shout through an empty sanctuary
Speak but a whisper

I’ll hear a sermon
I’ll sing along, the whole day through
Just do your best to hear me
It’s all you can do
I’ll sing along, the whole night through
While you sleep safely
I’ll be thinking about you

You have my attention




WHEN PAULA SPARKS

Sleep now moon
I'll watch over her while the sun is up
And you'll have her eyes again soon
It's a glorious day
And my lonely heart is tired again
And I am
Starved for her attention

That's when Paula sparks OH...
That's when Paula sparks a little light in my eye
(Ever since she went away)
That's when Paula sparks a little light in my eye
(I miss her more everyday)
That's when Paula sparks OH...

Sleep now sweet princess
I'll cheer for you silently
And carefully not to disturb oh
And I'll be ready on that evening
When you're starved for my attention
And you'll say
You'll say
Wait now prince
There's a brilliant sky above
And a jealous moon in love and they are
Starved for our attention

Ever since you went away
That's when Paula sparks OH...
I miss her more everyday
That's when Paula sparks a little light in my eye
Ever since you went away
That's when Paula sparks a little light in my eye
I miss her more everyday
That's when Paula sparks OH...

Sleep now moon
That's when Paula sparks OH...
Ever since you went away
That's when Paula sparks a little light in my eye
Ever since you went away
That's when Paula sparks a little light in my eye
Ever since you went away
That's when Paula sparks OH...


Oh to be able to write music such as this. Someday, I pray.
