Shot at the Night

The song marking this day is a twofer of sorts. Don't worry, it's not another Fuel song, but it comes to you courtesy of the same coworker.

She sent me this video, and told me I had to watch it:

Once in a lifetime, the suffering of fools
To find our way home, to break in these bones
Once in a lifetime (Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime

Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kind of mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kind of mysterious

The Killers are awesome, and I was enjoying the video, when I got a text from my coworker asking me if I was watching it and commenting on what a powerful human emotion yearning is:

Once in a lifetime, we're breaking all the rules
To find that our home, has long been out grown
Draw me a life line, 'cause honey I got nothing to lose
Once in a lifetime (Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime

Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kind of mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kind of mysterious
Give me a shot at the night

Look at my reflection in the mirror
Underneath the power of the light
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a shot at the night
I feel like I'm losing the fight

Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kind of mysterious
Give me a shot at the night

Yep. And yearning is something I know more than a little something about. I yearned so hard for so long, and at the same time, tried not to, because I knew that wouldn't bring the New Englander back.

And it didn't. It was setting him free that did it. Goddamn cliche, right? But it's true.

And in a few short days, we are going to have a shot at six nights together, and a whole lot of moments, and I couldn't be happier about that:

Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kind of mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kind of mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kind of mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
