"I'm only asking because I wanna know how you wanna feel." - Matchbox 20

This weekend, I had several run-ins with God's sense of humor.

Two songs for today, for different reasons (I am not sure what they are...):

COULD I BE YOU
By P. Doucette (Matchbox 20)

SOMETHING IS WRONG
WITH THE SUM OF US
THAT I CAN'T SEEM TO ERASE
HOW CAN I BE
THE ONLY ONE
WITHOUT A SMILE ON MY FACE
WHEN NOW

YOU'RE LAUGHING OUT LOUD
AT JUST THE THOUGHT OF BEING ALIVE
AND I WAS WONDERING
COULD I JUST BE YOU TONIGHT

YOU SHOW YOUR PAIN
LIKE IT REALLY HURTS
AND I CAN'T EVEN
START TO FEEL MINE
AND I'M STANDING IN PLACE
WITH MY HEAD FIRST
AND I SHAKE I SHAKE I SHAKE
AND I SEE YOUR PROGRESS
STRETCHED OUT FOR MILES
AND MILES

AND YOU'RE LAUGHING OUT LOUD
AT JUST THE THOUGHT OF BEING ALIVE
AND I WAS WONDERING
COULD I JUST BE YOU TONIGHT

THIS IS THE SOUND THAT I MAKE
THESE ARE THE WORDS I CHOSE
BUT SOMEHOW THE RIGHT THING TO SAY
JUST WON'T COME OUT

CUZ YOU'RE LAUGHING OUT LOUD
AT JUST THE THOUGHT OF BEING ALIVE
AND I WAS WONDERING
COULD I JUST BE YOU TONIGIHT
I WAS WONDERING
COULD I JUST BE YOU
TONIGHT

and...

Mistake of my Life
(Caedmon's Call)
I'm in love, never been so sure of anything
Then again, could be a tumor in my brain
Tricking me into thinking that we were meant to be
Either way, I'm about to shock my family
And my hometown again
'Cause this time I'm leaving

Once I'm gone I cannot look back
I've got to trust this is right
Maybe I'm on my way to find you
Maybe I'm gonna make the mistake of my life

Since we met my life's been so up in the air
Here today but by next week I could be there
On the street struggling to support my newest vice
With a sign that says 'I will work for love advice.'
'Cause I will mow your lawn
If you'll tell me what I'm doing wrong

But I'll leave the car runnin'
And I'll leave half the boxes packed
For the slim chance I'll go right back
