No One Else Like You

A few days ago, Netflix delivered Begin Again to my doorstep, and uncharacteristically, I watched it that very night. I'd been looking forward to seeing it, thinking it would offer an emotional catharsis for me.

I was disappointed. No emotional catharsis. I didn't even think it was that good of a movie, to be honest, even though the friend that recommended it to me usually has my tastes pretty well pegged.

The best thing I can say for it is it has a decent soundtrack, including this song:

Woah
Oh, yeah

Is everything just right
Don't want you thinking that I'm in a hurry
I want to stay your friend
I have this vision that has got me worried
Because everyone wants someone
That's one cliche that's true
The sad truth's I want no one
Unless that someone's you

I can relate, except that it doesn't feel like a sad truth right at the moment. Just a truth:

And looks like you
And feels like you
And smiles like you
I want someone just like you
Through and through
I'm forever blue
Because there's no one else like

I hope that you're not mad
You always said you want a man of action
I'm not the hottest lad, no
There's more to life than physical attraction
You got your special someone
But between me and him, guess who
Will spend their whole life waiting
For someone just like you

That looks like you
That feels like you
That smiles like you
I need someone just like you
Love me true
I'm forever blue
Because there's no one else like

Woah

I want you in my arms
I see you in my dreams
I'm gonna make you mine
As crazy as it seems

And also, I'm not gonna make the New Englander mine, because I can't. If I had that power, I would've done it a long time ago. Instead, I have to let go, turn it over, do all those things that I'm no good at it. It's ok, though, growth in those areas is a good thing...
