your heart was busy within

There's this song called "The Shape I Found You In" by a country/folk band named Girlyman... The lyrics go as such:

You were spoken for
I spent twenty lifetimes at your door
But your heart was busy within
Building bomb shelters under your skin
That's the shape I found you in.
That's the shape I found you in.

I was calling to you
It was one thing I knew how to do
But my heart tried to cheat
Building safety nets under my feet
So if I fell I would fall right in
That's the shape you found me in.

You were delivered to me
We were closed as the stores on Christmas Eve
So I felt around in the dark
Building rope ladders into your heart
Climbing hand over hand to get in
That's the shape I found you in.
That's the shape I found you in.

There is something about this song that just really gets to me. Now I don't mean it makes me cry, but it does something to my heart. It gets stuck in my head for days and I don't want it to leave. I don't even like country! It usually makes me feel a bit ill, to be perfectly honest. There is just something about this group and this song though. It feels like being in love for real for the first time ever. I'm not talking about little kid crushes and high school romance. I'm talking about that first time it really hits you- "Wow, I could see myself with this person forever". It's a feeling that sort of floors you, and yet at the same time is very sobering. It's a feeling that forces you to grow up a little, I think.

Now, these lyrics alone can't give you the full focus of this song, so I strongly recommend going out and finding it for yourself. Or if you talk to me really nice-like, I might be able to help you out. Either way, look into it. And next time you're bopping away to the radio or your favorite cd, try looking beyond what a song is saying to your ears. Listen to what it is saying to your heart.
