by a_manda on 12-31-2004 @ 01:52:08 AM this song gives me hope that there are other people in the world, besides me, who are just as impulsive with their feelings as i am...and that i'm not the only hopeless romantic left. this is the way this song makes me feel, not sure why...but seeing and hearing this song live in concert made me feel all the more hopeful. van halen have a few songs give me the same feelings... they are really awesome musicians, and their words are great too. never miss the beat. Catch a magic moment, Right here and now It means everything You miss the beat, you lose the rhythm, And nothing falls into place

It's always said Jesus christ was the only perfect man, I belive that it isnt impossable for us to be perfect, it's as simple as switching a lightswitch, but then again it's the hardiest thing in the world, it's self motivation, disapline, to do whats right, thing whats right, life rightously... and if your not, turn it around, right now......
