E Aadd2/E
Eyes like an infant
E
Staring me down
Aadd2/E E Aadd2/E
She'll take anything that's tied up
C#m7 F#m7
In my glorious past
E
It's just 4 days 'til Sunday
Aadd2/E E Aadd2/E
When I say that I'm gone
E
Little one screams you cry
Aadd2/E C#m7 F#m7
Tell the pain to leave me alone
(Same as before)
It's just 2 days 'til Monday
Another week 'til the 4th
Is anyone listening or
Should I call on the Lord
G# A
Oh believe me...
B
Sometimes I breathe
A
Sometimes I see
C#m
Then I dream a dream that won't come true
A E
And I struggle with lies when I'm lonely
(Rest of song continues with same chord progression)
Someone called my name out loud about 4 a.m.
It wasn't you so I let her in
Just to see what she wanted
She left screaming because I called her by your name
But the next day she came to call
And we finished our game
Alright now
Some days I breathe
Some days I see
Then I dream a dream that won't come true
And I struggle with time when I'm lonely
Shep plays piano down in
Shandon on the other side of Rosewood
You said he wasn't your type
But you went anyway
You left screamin' cause you thought you would
Call him by my name
Ah and you whisper
Why do I do this
I can't go through this why do I do this, why
Sometimes I breathe
Sometimes I see
Then I dream a dream that won't come true
And I struggle with life when I'm lonely

| I like this song, even though it does make me kinda sad. I have no idea why, though. | |

| This song is great. My ex-girlfriend told me about it. We met each other on the internet and fell in love. We met and everything. It kind of explained the way I felt the first few days of it all. "Hello again Your words they make me smile As I drift away In my little room upstairs" I don't know if it's about talking to someone on the internet and falling in love with them but that's my interpertation of the song. | |

| had to see the movie. Not sure if he wrote it just for the movie or not. But the song seems like she fell in love with him just by reading the letters he wrote to his wife. She Knew he was so lost by his deceased wife that she was willing to try but knew it was not going to happen .They say there is only one real true soul mate out there for all of us and I believe it . Great Song 1 | |

| Soundtrack indeed. For "Message in a Bottle" with Kevin Costner. So, with the movie in mind I think the song is about falling in love with someone that you don't really know. Someone that you haven't been with, talked to one on one. In the movie the woman finds this passionate message as it leads her to the writer of the note. Or...something. | |

| Intoduced by a friend who I then came to love. Both in relationships so it was never gonna work. Got to the point where it hurts to listen to it but it was our song and means so much. "If we should ever cross the same place at the same time Would your world skip a beat 'cause it was me" | |
