i'm not moving

the. best. love song. i've heard. yet.

like seriously.

Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag. I'm not gonna move,
Got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand,
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am,
Some try to hand me money they don't understand,
I'm not broke I'm just a broken hearted man,
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do,
How can I move on when I've been in love with you

Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I'm not moving,
I'm not moving.

Policeman says son you can't stay here,
I said there's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year,
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows,
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.

Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I'm not moving,
I'm not moving.

I'm not moving,
I'm not moving.

People talk about the guy
Whos waiting on a girl
There are no holes in his shoes
But a big hole in his world

Maybe I'll get famous as man who can't be moved,
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news,
And you'll come running to the corner
Cos you'll know it's just for you

I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved

Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

So I'm not moving
I'm not moving.

I'm not moving...
I'm not moving.

Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag not I'm not gonna move.

the. best. thing.

We all have dreams. Big ones, small ones. Great ones, simple ones. Some selfish, some selfless. Some even silly or downright ridiculous, and we know it, and we say "Who cares, it's my fucking dream?" Fact is, we all dream of the best things. The best position in little league, the best table in the high school lunchroom, the best college in the state, the job with the best pay, the person to best marry. We too make up the best of plans and schedules and timelines to realize all this. We scheme, we plot, and we go out of our way risking all four limbs to reach a satisfaction we blindly seek. And in our determination-slash-desperation to get what we want, we do our very damnedest to follow these plans. But do we ever stop to ask ourselves if these dreams are worth all the hardwork, the time, the almost-religious devotion of trying to make them come true? Because, ironically, sometimes, the best thing to ever happen to us is something that we never planned on. It's just, the trouble with that is, because of our ravenous preoccupation with following the plan to the dot, we sometimes fail to notice that that best thing has been right smack in front of us all along. We may opt to pretend that we do not see it, or we could just be the pitiful stoics that we are, but we could never deny it to ourselves when it happens -- if it happens. And we better ask the hand of fate for some luck, because when that happens, then we're screwed.
