Hey Jealousy...

On my way home tonight, I had the song "Hey Jealousy" by the Gin Blossoms in my head. I haven't heard it in a while, and it wasn't on my ipod so I was stuck with the sound of my singing in my head. I always associate people with songs. I think we all do it, but you might not be willing to talk about it.

This song always reminds me of a certain friend. We grew up together, loved together, and watched each other grow up and live incredible lives. But he always had a knack for just randomly showing up on my doorstep after months of not seeing him. A couple of times he asked to crash, a couple of times we just met at the bar, but our friendship has always been about those random moments. And it was all good. It is still all good.

here are the lyrics...

"Tell me do you think itd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see Im in no shape for driving
And anyway Ive got no place to go
And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best Id ever had
If I hadnt blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place...hey jealousy
And you can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
If you dont expect too much from me
You might not be let down
Cause all I really want is to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If I hadnt blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place...hey jealousy
She took my heart
Theres only one thing I couldnt start"
