You say I only hear what I want to.
You say I talk so all the time so.
And I thought what I felt was simple,
and I thought that I don’t belong,
and now that I am leaving,
now I know that I did something wrong ’cause I missed you.
Yeah, I missed you.
And you say I only hear what I want to:
I don’t listen hard,
I don’t pay attention to the distance that you’re running
to anyone, anywhere,
I don’t understand if you really care,
I’m only hearing negative: no, no, no.
So I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up,
and this woman was singing my song:
the lover’s in love, and the other’s run away,
lover is crying ’cause the other won’t stay.
Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was
dying since the day they were born.
Well, this is not that:
I think that I’m throwing, but I’m thrown.
And I thought I’d live forever, but now I’m not so sure.
You try to tell me that I’m clever,
but that won’t take me anyhow, or anywhere with you.
You said that I was naive,
and I thought that I was strong.
I thought, ”hey, I can leave, I can leave.”
But now I know that I was wrong, ’cause I missed you.
You said, ”I caught you ’cause I want you and one day I’ll let you go.
You try to give away a keeper, or keep me ’cause you know you’re just scared to lose.
And you say, ”Stay.”
You say I only hear what I want to.
這是Lisa Loeb的《Stay》。
喜歡這首歌很久很久。只知道它的歌名，不知是誰的作品。
米黃在姐姐家中餵貓咪時，在姐夫的CD櫃上翻閱到這張CD。
太久沒有聽過了．．．一聽到就立即起了雞皮疙瘩。
歌詞有如兩個人的對話，有如一個短篇故事，有如一個人的日記．．．很簡單的Feel~ 我們都曾經覺得愛人很碎咀、我們都曾經覺得愛人很聰明、我們都曾經覺得自己很堅強、我們都曾經覺得情人很幼稚、我們都曾經覺得自己應該要走、我們都曾經覺得自己是走的那一個，原來我們是被遺棄的那一個、我們都曾經自大的認為我們很不在乎對方，但其實我們很介意．．．我們都以為自己可以一個人走下去，我們都曾經很想情人對自己說出一句：「Stay~」
米黃很喜歡這個Style。不太重的，輕輕的感覺，不要太濫情，溫暖得來不會拘謹，英式愛情電影是米黃的favourite．．．雖然米黃現在很少看電影了，還是忘不了那種感覺。
米黃這個人會有某一段時間特別地喜歡某一類型的歌曲，除了《Stay》，米黃還曾瘋狂地喜歡Sophie Zelmani的《Always You》。
If it wasn’t the oceans, wasn’t the breezes,
wasn’t the white sands, I might not be needed,
If I could sleep through the coal mines,
If I could breathe through hatred,
If I could, work through the summer,
then I woulnd’t feel so humble,
oh you, it’s always you, it’s always you.
If red roses weren’t so lovely, Wine didn’t taste so good,
Stars weren’t so romantic, Then I could do what I should
Oh you, it’s always you It’s always you.
Oh you, it’s always you It’s always you
If you love, I could command it,
Get your head, to understand it,
I’d go twice, around the world,
Even though, I may not find it.
Oh you, it’s always you, It’s always you.
You, it’s always you, It’s always you.
米黃知道這歌是因為電影《My Best Friend’s Wedding》，電影已經是1997年的作品，女主角是米黃的favourite - Julia Roberts。電影很好看，感覺有如我們身邊會發生的事 - 好朋友結婚，然後覺得自己好像一直喜歡這個好朋友。哼~ (冷笑一聲) 看完這電影之後，米黃飛快地去買了它的Soundtrack，一直聽一直聽。因為這張Soundtrack，令米黃有一陣子迷上了電影原聲大碟，也從此愛上了經常聽著音樂、戴著Earphone的感覺．．．覺得自己的生活都有著自己的Background Music。
有一張Soundtrack，米黃到現在都依然耿耿於懷自己沒有買下的，是電影《Great Expectations》的Soundtrack。已經是1998年的電影。電影很好看，女主角是Gwyneth Paltrow，男主角是Ethan Hawke．．．這是米黃很推薦的電影，可能是因為那次和米黃一起去看的那個人關係．．．或者電影的感覺真的那麼Wonderful．．．總之到現在，米黃還很記得那電影的感覺．．．在華麗的世界中，我們都迷惘、迷失，沒有自信，為了面對現實世界，我們要自己變得強悍、我們要改變自己、裝備自己，甚至是．．．放棄自己所愛．．．
