Rainy Thursday

As I look out the window and see the raindrops fall down, I am reminded of a Sesame Street song that I loved listening to.  I am thankful to that person who posted this on Youtube!

Song du jour: King of Anything

I just love this song.  It’s off Sara Bareilles‘ sophomore album Kaleidoscope Heart.  I love the lyrics because it’s filled with the gumption I wish I had! 🙂

Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)

Keep drinkin’ coffee
Stare me down across the table
While I look outside

So many things I’d say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet
And count the cars that pass by

You’ve got opinions, man
We’re all entitled to ’em
But I never asked

So let me thank you for time
And try to not waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you babe
But I’m not drowning
There’s no one here to save

Who cares if you disagree, you are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything

Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)

You sound so innocent
All full of good intent
You swear you know best

But you expect me to
Jump up on board with you
Ride off into your dellusional sunset

I’m not the one who’s lost
With no direction oh
But you won’t ever see

You’re so busy makin’ maps
With my name on them in all caps
You got the talkin’ down just not the listening

And who cares if you disagree, you are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything

All my life I’ve tried to make everybody happy
While I just hurt and hide
Waitin’ for someone to tell me it’s my turn
To decide

Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)
Oh (oh oh oh)

Who cares if you disagree, you are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything

Who cares if you disagree, you are not me
Who made you king of anything
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything

Let me hold your crown, babe
Oh oh
Ah
