I love all the poetry that exists in music, in songs. Today, while driving in the midst of traffic, I was able to stop worrying about trying to get here or there at a particular time, because this sweet, melancholy tune I heard on the radio kept my mind occupied. The lyrics took me through a few different emotions- sadness, smiles, and the unforgettable line that had me laughing was, "Too many downward dogs, they can be bad for your health."
I knew I had to find out which song it was and who sang it, but the DJ never mentioned it. After awhile, I forgot about it.
But then this evening, I was driving home, and I'm sure it wasn't a coincidence that I heard the song again. As soon as I got to my computer, I searched that one line, the only lyrics I knew, and I finally found it- It's Chantal Kreviazuk's "Invincible".
LYRICS:
I thought I had the right day, but I was in the wrong place.
I tried to open a door, but got it slammed in my face.
I'm at the back of the line, feels like eternity.
Well, they tell me I'm gettin' close, but I know I'm still far.
You can dress me up, but you can't cover my scars.
I've become a professional at hide and seek.
I'm a danger to myself.
I can take a wrong turn, you're right behind me.
Crash and burn, I know you'll find me.
As long as you're here, I'm invincible.
I can call your name and you'll come running.
It's pouring rain, you'll make it sunny.
As long as you're here, I'm invincible.
Want to be part of the cure, but I'm part of the disease.
I can chase butterflies, but I get stung by the bees.
Sometimes I think too much, forget my clarity.
I bought every self-help book that I could fit on the shelf.
Too many Downward Dogs,
they can be bad for your health.
I don't know who I am, so much for therapy.
I'm a danger to myself.
I can take a wrong turn, you're right behind me.
Crash and burn, I know you'll find me.
As long as you're here, I'm invincible.
I can call your name and you'll come running.
It's pouring rain, you'll make it sunny.
As long as you're here, I'm invincible.
I'm not the same old girl, no.
I want a brand new world.
I can take a wrong turn, you're right behind me.
Crash and burn, I know you'll find me.
As long as you're here, I'm invincible.
I can call your name and you'll come running.
It's pouring rain, you'll make it sunny.
As long as you're here, I'm invincible.
I thought I had the right day, but I was in the wrong place.
I tried to open a door, but got it slammed in my face.
I'm at the back of the line, feels like eternity.
