Belief builds from scratch...

I have a tendency to see my life in song lyrics, I have talked about it before. When I sit and listen to music, I get drawn into songs in a similar way that I am drawn into movies and books and stories and fantasies. I put myself, people I know, or stories that touch me into the world the lyrics build and use it to access emotions and explain to myself the deeper details of how I feel. Or... I just like to be touched, to feel that the things in my heart relate to the world.

Just today, I updated my status with a new guy in my life in mind. He's amazing and I am constantly excited about him. So I find myself in this silly school girl state of needing to talk about it, about him, about this amazing feeling. I updated my status to "Good things fall apart so better things can fall together." which is something that Marilyn Monroe said. I believe that. A friend of mine from home commented that she hopes it to be true... and I got to thinking about hope and belief in general. I believe that belief makes things happen. If you can truly believe, in yourself, in your dreams, they can be accomplished.

It got me thinking about some song lyrics (here's where I tie it all together) that touch me. Gavin DeGraw has been in my head a lot, the first album has a few songs about new love, getting to know someone and that time in between the moment you meet and the time you are actually a couple that sparkles. The time with the butterflies.

A few of the lyrics I like from "Belief":

Belief, makes things real.
Makes things feel, feel alright.
Belief, makes things true.
Things like you, you and I....

Belief - Builds from scratch.
Doesn't have to relax, it doesn't need space.
Long live the queen and I'll be the king.
In the collar of grace.

I'm gonna yell it from the rooftops.
I'll wear a sign on my chest.
That's the least I can do, it's the least I can do.

Mr DeGraw often speaks to my emotions, I find myself lost in what he has to say often. Feeling sometimes as though he's speaking only to me, I will listen to a song that applies to my life over and over.

Right now it's "Over-Rated", "Crush", "Follow Through", and "Nice to Meet You". I'm not going to post all those lyrics. The internet can find them for you, I'm sure.

ps. This is running through my head over and over:

I suppose that I could hold it in,
But you excite my every cell.
Sources say that senses are your friend,
My senses say that I should tell.
