"Never Knew I Needed You" - NeYo
I logged on this afternoon, still feeling sick. I was at a lost with so many songs and when I found one, I didn't know what to write. And when I knew what to write about, I couldn't find a song that fit. So, I logged off and plopped on my living room sofa to unwind. There I was, flippin' through the channels without really looking for anything to watch and then as if it were planned all along, Disney's The Princess and the Frog came on just in the nick of time.
I never thought I'd like this film. I really had no interest in watching it at all. But when I was lying in my bed this passed Saturday, after a full day of cleaning and dusting, I decided to give it a try. Surprisingly, I related to it, but had to turn it off too soon to set up for a last minute party. Since then I've been checking to see when it would play again...(please, please, please) but day after day it never popped up. I find it amusing that when I finally stopped looking, there it was.
I identify with the character Tiana a lot. She's a hardworking girl who finds it difficult to simply have fun. Confusing what she wants with what she needs until she "dug a little deeper" and low and behold, found what she was never really looking for all along.
Princess Tiana: "Daddy never got what he wanted... but he had what he NEEDED: love! He never gave that up, and neither will I!"
This has nothing to do with what I'm feeling right now. It's actually quite the opposite of what I'm going through, but for some reason I know it's not too far from the truth. It's just gonna take 'em a bit longer to figure things out. And, hey who knows? Maybe I won't be here. Maybe I'll be taken, with kids, in a different city, living a different life. But then again, maybe so will they. But I guess it always has to happen that way. Some people gotta learn how to fight. And in my case, I gotta learn how not to. So for now, I'll simply enjoy life.
Lyrics:
For the way you changed my plans
for being the perfect distraction
for the way you took the idea that i have
of everything that i wanted to have
and made me see there was something missing
for the ending of my first begin
and for the rare and unexpected friend
for the way you're something that i never choose
but at the same time something i don't wanna lose
and never wanna be without ever again
you're the best thing i never knew i needed
so when you were here i had no idea
you're the best thing i never knew i needed
so now it's so clear i need you here always
my accidental happily (ever after)
the way you smile and how you comfort me (with your laughter)
i must admit you were not a part of my book
but now if you open it up and take a look
you're the beginning and the end of every chapter
you're the best thing i never knew i needed
so when you were here i had no idea
you're the best thing i never knew i needed (that i needed)
so now it's so clear i need you here always
who knew that I could be here (who knew that i could be here)
so unexpectedly (so unexpectedly)
undeniably happy
said with you right here, right here next to me
girl you're the..
you're the best thing i never knew i needed (said i needed)
so when you were here i had no idea
you're the best thing i never knew i needed (needed)
so now it's so clear i need you here always
baby baby
now it's so clear i need you here always
