"Carried Away" - George Strait
This is as Country as it's gonna get, but before you judge me listen to it. Let it get into you because only Country can do love songs like this: To sing about how one should truly be loved and how awesome it could feel to be the one receiving it.
I know deep in my heart that I can love someone well. I know that I have been loved before just as well. Unfortunately, it only lasts for so long before it slowly drains away. It's almost as if I have a certain amount set aside just for me, but once that's gone, it's done. I never quite understood this. I love with a full tank and never empty it out. It gets banged up every now and then and may spring a leak or two, but somehow some way it manages to patch itself up. Now, I promise myself to reserve just a little bit of this love for me. As a back-up plan so that I'm not left completely unprepared when something unexpected happens. So that I will remember that I will still have something left over to fulfill me.
I know this is wishful thinking, but it's not impossible. I want the infatuation, but I also want it to grow into something genuine and real without losing the passion of wanting someone so badly you can't think straight. I want a man to do whatever it takes to please me. I want the romance, the take-charge, the compliments, the wine & dine (maybe without the wine). I want the long, interesting conversations of getting to know each other even if it's doing it all over again, the side-jokes, the pet-names, the sweet gestures like opening the car door. I want the candlelight, the sharing the same likes and accepting what we dislike, the learning from each other, the laughing, the intimacy, the leaving the past in the past and moving forward. I want the ambition, the drive to want to give more than you can take, the too much vs not enough, the pulling out all the stops because it's what I deserve. Because it is how I love in return.
Lyrics:
I don't take my whiskey to extremes
Don't believe in chasin' crazy dreams
My feet are planted firmly on the ground
But darlin' when you come around
I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on baby I'm long gone
I get carried away nothin' matters but bein' with you
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day, I get carried away.
It might seem like an ordinary night
Same ol' stars, the same ol' moon up high
But when I see you standin' at your door
Nothin's ordinary anymore.
I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on baby I'm long gone
I get carried away nothin' matters but bein' with you
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day, I get carried away.
I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on baby I'm long gone
I get carried away nothin' matters but bein' with you
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day, I get carried away.
