I kept hearing the following lyrics on the radio, but never the whole song: "It's a quarter after 1:00. I'm a little drunk and I need you now. I said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now." I didn't know the title or artist of this song and wanted to hear the rest of it.
The night I signed my life away on the house in California (note to self: your mother-in-law's birthday is tomorrow), I stopped in to Baskin Robbins to take comfort in a double scoop of Baseball Nut (my absolute favorite non-chocolate seasonal ice cream flavor). The song was playing so I asked the gal helping me if she knew the name of it and who sang it. She told me it is "Need You Now" by Lady Antebellum. It's an awesome song I have played on YouTube so many times the dogs probably have it memorized.
I subscribe to Rhapsody so I added it to my playlist. I also decided to see if they had any other songs I like and found one whose lyrics are so perfect for where I feel I am right now. The song is called "Ready to Love Again," and the lyrics are:
Seems like I was walking in the wrong direction
I barely recognized my own reflection, no
Scared of love, but scared of life alone.
Seems I've been playing on the safe side baby
Building walls around my heart to save me, oh
But it's time for me to let it go.
Yeah, I'm ready to feel now
No longer am I 'fraid of the fall down
It must be time to move on now
Without the fear of how it might end
I guess I'm ready to love again.
Just when you think love will never find you
You run away and it's right behind you, oh
It's just something that we can't control.
Yeah, I'm ready to feel now
No longer am I 'fraid of the fall down
It must be time to move on now
Without the fear of how it might end
I guess I'm ready to love again.
So come and find me
I'll be waiting up for you
I'll be holding out for you tonight.
Yeah, I'm ready to feel now
No longer am I 'fraid of the fall down
It must be time to move on now
Without the fear of how it might end
I guess I'm ready, ready to love again.
Okay, Universe. Bring it on.
