I always liked this song a lot. Who knows what the Gallagher boys were really getting at, but now I hear it and remember a time and place when I really believed I would live forever too. The lyrics speak of someone who is young and doesn’t want to learn about the limitations of life. You plant seeds, cultivate gardens and over time your hard work plays off. Unlike the immediate satisfaction you demand in youth, with age comes the knowledge you have to work over time for long term rewards. Another song I love is the Travis song "Flowers In the Window." They seem to go hand in hand, but maybe it is just me.
Maybe I don't really want to know
How your garden grows
I just want to fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks it to the bone
Maybe I just want to fly
I want to live I don't want to die
Maybe I just want to breath
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
Maybe I don't really want to know
How your garden grows
I just want to fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks it to the bone
Maybe I will never be
All the things that I want to be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
We're gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
Live forever
Forever
Maybe I don't really want to know
How your garden grows
I just want to fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks it to the bone
Maybe I just want to fly
I want to live I don't want to die
Maybe I just want to breath
Maybe I just don't believe
Maybe you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
Maybe I don't really want to know
How your garden grows
I just want to fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks it to the bone
Maybe I will never be
All the things that I want to be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever
We're gonna live forever
Gonna live forever
Live forever
Forever

Hey, just wanted to say hi. Don't have your email, so I thought I'd leave a note here. I always enjoy reading your blog.
How are things going for you, aside from the disgruntledness I read here?
Haven't heard of Travis. I looked into them on yahoo music. What's your feelings about their music?
Take care!
