What Would I Do if You Were PERFECT?
I have been writing & rewriting this blog for DAYS, bare with me will ya?
Van Hunt has a song called Down Here In Hell (With You) and it SPEAKS TO ME!
I really love it when
I love it when we make mistakes
Because once again
It gives me a reason to complain
I love the battle lines
The battle lines we draw and cross in the mud
Ooh, I love it when we fight
Standin’ on the verge of breakin’ up or makin’ love
What would I do if we were perfect?
Where would I go for disappointment?
Love without pain would leave me
Wonderin’ why I stay?
I think of savin’ myself
But with nothin’ to complain about up in Heaven
What would I do?
I think of savin’ myself
But I really wanna work it out
Down here in hell with you
Magic carpet ride
It don’t have to last forever
I know we shouldn’t fly so high
But the closer to the sun we go, the better
See, I wanna make you feel the fire
Wanna burn you with my bad days
Ooh, I wanna be unsatisfied
So you can feel the heat comin’ from me, baby
What would I do if we were perfect?
Where would I go for disappointment?
Words without hate would leave me nothin’ left to say
And I think of savin’ myself
But with nothin’ to complain about up in Heaven
What would I do?
I think of savin’ myself
But I really wanna work it out
Down here in hell with you
When I first heard this song I really wanted to feel like this about someone. I have always loved the happy jolly love is lovely love songs, but as a believer in love, I know that love isn’t always so lovely. You don’t know what the sun really feels like unless you have stood in the rain. I can spout a whole bunch of cliche bologna, but it all comes down to this: love has to have a downside otherwise, how do you know it is love?
I haven’t really had a relationship in YEARS so this was all speculation up until this point. I have recently found this to be true. But only when the feeling is mutual. If you are the only one in hell and then the only one in 7th Heaven, that ain’t love, baby.
But, take a moment and read the words and mull it over and TRUST if you have ever REALLY known love, these words will ring so true, you will actually SMILE! It’s really not a sad song, if you know like I know…
