I just love this performance and the lyrics well, just made me cry... as they always do..
Lately I've been thinking
Lately I've been dreaming with you
I'm so resistant to this type of thinking
Oh, now it's shining through
I was alone for the last time
Before my night's vacation with you
Alive from the first
Now I'm denied by the ghost of you
You take yourself a photograph and laugh at me
Please
I know there's little use in crying
It's more wide awake and dying then I'm used to
I thought we'd walk these streets together
Now I'm hoping that I'll never have to meet you
Step aside from all this anger
And somewhere in between I can feel you
Ask me should we try again
I'm thinking no
Y'know, it's not what I believe in
It's not what I believe in
You take yourself a photograph and laugh at me
Please
You make yourself a photograph and laugh at me
Please
No I, wanna taste you, love
No I...no I
No I, just wanna taste you, love
Standing in your shoes
I turn and now
You're standing bare in my doorway
I only wish that I had been prepared
I'm gonna have to go along with your way
Just take the plastic camera out
It's the pants you borrowed in the driveway
Alive from the first
Now I'm denied by the ghost of you
Make yourself a photograph and laugh at me
Please
You make yourself a photograph and laugh at me
Please
No I, wanna taste of love
No I...
I was alive from the first
Now I'm denied by the ghost of you

sorry 'bout that...
No... wistful and philosophical is always good here... I am going to use those feelings, embrace them, I have decided that it is the perfect day to capture this mood in photographs...*hug*
It's too bad Howie Day can't get out of his own head and out of his own way, because I wish he would have come out with more albums. I saw him when he was 18 at a bar in Portland, ME, and he was incredible. I have seen him a number of times over the years and he always put on a good show, but after the last record he sort of got excited about himself and turned into a joke. It's a shame.
Great song though. I have a 12 minute version of this song, where he breaks out his lookping machine (lovingly named Norman) and gets all funky, using the song as a segue into "Beams of Light". It's too big to post here, but you can find it here:

Yeah I love the song, but sad to hear about whats he's done to himself... Cant figure it out... lets hope he pulls his head out of his butt sooner rather than later...thanks for the link I will definitely check it out..
