how we operate

over the last few weeks i've been listening a lot to a mix i made for bo. (i thought i made it for him, but maybe in the end, i really made it for me...)

anyway, one of the songs that i put on the mix is a song called "how we operate" by a band named gomez. the opening of this song immediately draws you in and i must say that before i engaged in the lyrics, it would get stuck in my head from a purely musical standpoint.

but... like all good songs, there are many layers to it. there's how it sounds, but then there's what's being said. the more i listen the more i'm completely taken with the lyrics.

see how they strike you and share with me what you think. then, i'll share with you what i think in my next post. we love a cliffhanger!

calm down
and get straight
it's in our eyes
it's how we operate

you're true
you are
i'd apologize but it won't go very far

please come here
come right on over
and when we collide we'll see what gets left over

a little joy
a little sorrow
and a little pride so we won't have to borrow
wherever you lead, i'll follow

turn me inside out and upside down
and try to see things my way
turn a new page, tear the old one out
and i'll try to see things your way

please come here
please come on over
there is no line that you can't step right over
without you well i'm left hollow
so can we decide to try a little joy tomorrow
'cos baby tonight i'll follow

turn me inside out and upside down
and try to see things my way
turn a new page, tear the old one out
and i'll try to see things your way

the way that we've been speaking now
i swear that we'd be friends, i swear
'cos all these little deals go down with
little consequences, we share, we share

turn me inside out and upside down
and try to see things my way
turn a new page, tear the old one out
and i'll try to see things your way

and i'm gonna love you anyway
try to see things your way
try to see things your way
try to see things your way
