you are my sweetest downfall

i have fallen in love with this song. it's by Regina Spektor. i love her voice! it is so enchanting. anyway, these are the lyrics.

Samson
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first

Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

I'm listening to it over and over again right now. love love love it. I should be studying for a statistics test.... but really i'm just waiting for my roommate to come home so we can watch "white christmas", which i've never seen the end of and she hasn't seen any of it at all, so i'm very looking forward to it! maybe while i am waiting, i will put the clean dishes away so that we can load it with the dirty ones so that our sink isn't overflowing with dirty dishes. and maybe then i will be able to have a clean pan to make some soup in, cause i want to have some soup!!

i have a confession to make, dear blog. i have a crush on a man 10 years older than me. terrible, i know. but we spent an hour today after class talking about life and everything and i just really enjoyed it.

well, i'm going to try to get some kind of studying done for this test. wish me luck!
