I think she's got the right idea.

I think this is one of the best lyrics I've ever heard in a while.

All the boys are begging for her,
reaching long to grab her clothes to
pull her in every direction and
throw some game that won't win.

This girl, she's looking at me
A glance over then down at her drink.
I think she's got the right idea.
I think she's got the right idea.

'You come with me, we should leave,
there's more things interesting than this joint
You pull stares from this whole crew,
and you act like you never even knew.'

We move out to the street
It's raining hard - coming down in sheets.
She takes my hands, pulls hard,
and then we make the dash to her car.
I think she's got the right idea,
I think she's got the right idea,
'We're not going anywhere,'
she says, 'We'll just stay here.'

'You come with me, we won't leave,
I'll show you something interesting.'

Her hair streaked her shirt with rain
and that did something to me.

This is the sort of music I want to make. It's not a love song, it's more of a .. in-the-moment, feel, you know? That 30 minutes where everything felt just right.. without any expectations, hopes and dreams, knowing that I might not be able to have this moment ever again. It's like, talking to that random someone at a party, and just enjoying the fact that there's a connection, like something just clicked. Although that was the first time we met, that three-hours was good. I don't know if it's because of the drinks that I had then, but there was something. And it turns out I was wrong. My point is, it's these little things that count, the way I felt that night. It made me realise that.. ah fuck it, I'm not making any sense am I? This is a very corny entry, and a bad new post after a week-long hiatus. Ah well.
