My New Favorite Song

What makes me the saddest about moving at the end of this summer is that I will no longer come home to Lauren Garcia. Besides being the most delightful of people to share a bedroom with, she is also my mole when it comes to new music.

So per Lauren, the latest crooner spinning in my car is Marie Digby. Some may know her as the girl who remixed Riana's "Umbrella Song" into an acoustic ballad. I think she was mentioned on Perez recently... Anyways, this is one of the songs I'll be singing under my breath next time you see me, a theme song if you will, for this phase of my life. (See also "Stupid for You," "Spell," and "Paint Me In Your Sunshine.")

...Unfold...

What I can remember
Is a lot like water
Trickling down a page
Of the most beautiful colors
I can't quite put my finger down
On the moment that I became like this

You see, I'm the bravest girl
You'll ever come to meet
Yet, I shrink down to nothing
At the thought of someone really seeing me
I think my heart is wrapped around
And tangled up in winding weeds

But, I don't wanna go on living
Being so afraid of showing
Someone else my imperfections
And even though my feet are trembling
Every word I say comes stumbling
I will bare it all
Watch me unfold
Unfold, unfold

These hands that I hold behide my back
Are bound and broken from my own doing
And I can't feel anything anymore
I need a touch to remind me
I'm still real

'Cause, I don't wanna go on living
Being so afraid of showing
Someone else my imperfections
And even though my feet are trembling
Every word I say comes stumbling
I will bare it all
Watch me unfold
Unfold, unfold

My soul
It's dying to be free
I can't live the rest of my life so guarded
It's dying to be free
It's up to me to choose
What kind of life I lead

'Cause, I don't wanna go on living
Being so afraid of showing
Someone else my imperfections
And even though my feet are trembling
Every word I say comes stumbling
I will bare it all
Watch me unfold, unfold, unfold
Unfold, unfold, unfold

I will allow someone to love me...
