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

Hear Me Out
Frou Frou
Details

I join the queue on your answerphone
And all I am - is holding breath
Just pick up I know you're there
Can't you hear - I'm not myself

Oh go ahead and lie to me
You could say anything
Small talk will be - just fine
Your voice is everything
We owe it to love
And it all depends on you

So listen up - this sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling
Just hear me out - I'm not over you yet
It's love on the line can you handle it

So how do I do normal
The smile I fake - the permanent wave of
Cue cards and fix it kits
Can't you tell - I'm not myself

I'm a slow motion accident
Lost in coffee rings - and fingerprints
I don't - wanna feel - anything
But i do
And it all comes back to you

So listen up - this sun hasn't set
(I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling)
Just hear me out - I'm not over you yet
(It's love on the line can you handle it?)

So listen up
Look at me straight
Just hear me out
Don't make me wait
I'm not myself
I can't take this
Love's on the line
Is that your final answer

I join the queue on your answerphone
And all i am - is holding breath
Just pick up i know you're there......

So listen up - this sun hasn't set
(I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling)
Just hear me out - I'm not over you yet
(It's love on the line can you handle it?)

Before everyone gets their panties in a bunch, there is no hidden meaning in this selection.

My Tegan and Sara station on Pandora keeps playing it and it was totally stuck in my head in not that particularly awesome way, I mean I liked it, but until I really started to listen, and realized how much I loved it, and, in turn, Imogen Heap, whom I've loved for a couple of years now, because - man. Just listen to her! To the song! It's beautiful. It's moving. It's intimate. It's desperation and longing and painful and all of the stuff that makes tortured love so torturous.

I don't miss it - tortured love, that is - because I got blessed with the kind of love that includes someone who walks into your apartment and sees that you weren't lying when you said, at 6:23 p.m. from the Damen bus, that you were crawling right into bed. In all of the clothes you wore all day. Watching Supernanny. The kind of love that crawls into bed right there with you and, to top it off, brings you a small bag of Cheetos because he always, almost without fail, brings you Cheetos when you've hit the point of breaking and need to make your way back.

This time, though, he didn't mess with the baked version. Yesterday was a day that necessitated the real Cheetos.

That's the kind of love I'm grateful for, and would never want to experience unrequited love again, but I'm glad I can dip my toes in once in awhile through a song.
