Love Song

Lyrics:

Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand
Saying 'if you see this girl, can you tell her where I am"

Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke, I'm just a broken hearted man
I know it makes no sense, what else can I do?
How can I move on when I'm still in love with you?

Cuz if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
and you're heart starts to wonder where on Earth I could be
Thinkin maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving

Policeman says, "Son you can't stay here"
I said, "There's someone I'm waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year"
Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go

'cause If one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on our corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving,
I'm not moving, I'm not moving

People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world

Maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
Maybe you wont mean to but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
'cause you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved

Chorus x 2

Going back to the corner where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I'm not gonna move.

Response:
So, I chose "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" by The Script for this week. I love this song because I think it really speaks to the real aspects of love that aren't often portrayed. This song embodies the hope and longing that accompany love especially after the person you love is gone. The singer is so desperate to get the girl he loves back that he's just going to sit outside on a corner and wait for her to show up. There's no guarantee that she'll come by, no reason for him to think that this plan will work, but he's so desperate to have her back that he will do anything. As a listener, I find myself feeling that desperate hope he must be feeling as he's singing this song. I want her to show up and be in love with him!
