Ever The Same

While in Cagayan de Oro, I rediscovered Rob Thomas amongst sexy Maya babes' eclectic CD collection and fell in love with him again. One song in particular moved me so much that I'm blogging it.

To Ann, Maya, my sis, my cousins, and my friends back in Cebu -- Thank You so much for letting me fall on you when I felt like falling apart. No words can ever describe how much it means to me.

And especially to the one sweet guy who took the 6-hour bus trip from Davao to CDO and then back just to see me, well, you may not be Rob Thomas, but thank you for making me feel this just the same:

we were drawn from the weeds
we were brave like soldiers
falling down under the pale moonlight
you were holding to me
like someone broken
and i couldn't tell you but i'm telling you now

just let me hold you while you're falling apart
just let me hold you so we both fall down

fall on me
tell me everything you want me to be
forever with you forever in me
ever the same

we would stand in the wind
we were free like water
flowing down
under the warmth of the sun
now it's cold and we're scared
and we've both been shaken
look at us
man, this doesn't need to be the end

just let me hold you while you're falling apart
just let me hold you so we both fall down

fall on me
tell me everything you want me to be
forever with you forever in me
ever the same
call on me
i'll be there for you and you'll be there for me
forever it's you
forever in me
ever the same

you may need me there
to carry all your weight
but you're no burden i assure
you tide me over
with a warmth i'll not forget
but i can only give you love
