How Does a Song Become the Song of the Summer?!
I have a belief that a song is not born the song of the summer. Rather it can be elevated to that status by an individual, if that person deems it worthy. I’m officially deeming Natasha Bedingfield’s “The One That Got Away” the Song of the Summer, for reasons that are very clear to me and probably a little sketchy to you. In due time, I’ll reveal the story behind the song.
For now, enjoy the lyrics:
Would you spare a minute?
Give me a single chance
To look in your eyes
Let me hold your hands
I want to get close enough,
To read you
Understand you
Open up your heart
Open up your mind
Nobody needs another stalker in your life
I'm only here to help you learn to love me,
To know me
CHORUS
I need a hook so you won't be the one that got away
I need a look that stuns ya, makes you wanna stay.
Don't wanna speak in case it comes out wrong
Don't wanna blink cause in a second you could be gone
I need a twist to help me turn, turn this story round.
I need a bridge to cross this dangerous ground
Meet me in the middle like I want you too.
I gotta find your heart to shoot my arrow through.
Did ya see me staring
You caught my eye
Don't turn around
Don't walk away
The night is young, can we get together?
Got so many questions
Feelings I can't explain
We're worlds apart
I don’t even know your name
I'm longing to give you my heart
I need a hook so you won't be the one that got away
I need a look that stuns ya, makes you wanna stay.
Don't wanna speak in case it comes out wrong
Don't wanna blink cause in a second you could be gone
I need a twist to help me turn, turn this story round.
I need a bridge to cross this dangerous ground
Meet me in the middle like I want ya to.
I gotta find your heart to shoot my arrow through.
Turn around, don't evaporate
Like you never came
Turn around, don't be a ghost
Forever never there to haunt me.
Sliding doors.
They aren't just on trains
We're alone on a platform in the rain
There’s a chance
And it won't come again
Turn around your whole life has changed
I need a hook so you won't be the one that got away
I need a look that stuns ya, makes you wanna stay.
Don't wanna speak in case it comes out wrong
Don't wanna blink cause in a second you could be gone
I need a twist to help me turn, turn this story round.
I need a bridge to cross this dangerous ground
Meet me in the middle like I want ya to.
I gotta find your heart to shoot my arrow through.
And a shout-out goes to Italy, who pulled off the victory over France in the World Cup Final yesterday. Thank you boys for a great game, and for taking time leading up to the tournament to pose for your undying fans!

David,
Just so you know, I just found your blog Saturday night...Yeah, a little slow to catch things, I know, but I did have a baby right after you told the parents, so I did have a reason for not keeping up:)
I spent hours reading it all, till the weee hours of the morning, and I just want to say that I am so thankful for the MANY friends in your life that love and support you. BUT, as much as they all love you, KNOW THAT NOT ONE OF THEM LOVE YOU AS MUCH AS WE, YOUR FAMILY, DO. I've loved you and your sister, and H (our cousin and future heart surgeon) from the moment I saw your tiny faces, as much as I would have a baby sister and brothers. I know that you and A may not know that, but it's true :)
When your "Uncle Tommy" died, we understood more than ever how precious our time together on this earth is. Please don't ever think our silence is any indication of how we feel about this, or our continued love and support. We simply didn't know (well, we didn't know for sure ;0) But I promise you, there is no judgement or condemnation awaiting you from us. A word from your Aunt C - "After all I've been through (you know what she's referring too) I would never judge or condemn him. What a hypocrite that would make me. Besides, We Love Him, period - end of story...that will never change! And you tell him that."
I'm going to email this to you, but I wanted to post it for the world to see. We love you and will go on loving you.
Your Cousin Andie
P.S. I am a year late, but the IDIOT that told you to stay out of Mobile and said all those nasty things about you had NO right to ever speak for anyone here. I know you know that, but, I just had to say it to you. I don't care who or what they think they are, we, YOUR FAMILY, want you here as much as we can get you here!!!! And as a Christian,YES, everyone reading, I am not only a Christian, but a Southern Baptist, 'to boot', I would tell them to take a long walk off a short pier - and I can even direct them to a few (I think I can guess what area of town they live in.) OR your cousin, the policeman, would gladly escort THEM out of town!
