Sara Barellis is my girl. I saw her in concert before her hit 'love song' came out and i knew it was meant to be. we would be friends....i'm sure of it ;) This song, like so many others, has cut deep for me. Not for any man in particular at the moment. But too often in my life i've let myself feel like i'm drowning. In reality i just needed to learn that i am strong and able. i am woman, hear me roar ;) And the past 7 months have taught me that. and so much more. though i'm in a bluesy, dark music phase, a little pop crept in for the moment. ejoy.
King of Anything
Sara Bareilles
Keep drinking coffee,
Stare me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I'd say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by
You've got opinions man
We're all entitled to 'em
But I never asked
So let me thank you for your time
And try not to waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast.
I hate to break it to you babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save
Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything
You sound so innocent
All full of good intent
Swear you know best
But you expect me to
Jump up on board with you
And ride off into your delusional sunset
I'm not the one who's lost
With no direction, oh
But you'll never see
You're so busy making maps
With my name on them in all caps
You got the talking down
Just not the listening.
Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything
All my life I've tried
To make everybody happy while I
Just hurt and hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn to decide
Who cares if you disagree
You are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything
Lemme hold your crown, babe...
Love it. Oh, did i tell you i'm getting into soccer? there's good reason...trust me ;)
always,
amanda
