What's playing on Erin's iPod right now ...

The Luckiest
Ben Folds
Rockin' The Suburbs

I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here

And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

What if I'd been born fifty years before you
In a house on a street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike
Would I know?

And in a wide cliche sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you

Next door there's an old man who lived to his nineties
And one day passed away in his sleep
And his wife; she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away

I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong
That I know

That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

The first concert Scott and I ever went to together was Ben Folds. Kind of. It was the first planned concert. We are extemporaneous concert-going folk.

We have, in the nearly two years we've been dating, seen countless bands together. But I, of course, always remember Ben Folds. Strangely enough, he didn't play this song - and, if you ask me to this day what reminds me of that night, if would be "Emaline" - but it's the song that makes me think of our relationship.

We had a nice weekend, and I'm reminded that I got lucky when I met that one.
