Gradeschool Crush

I remember being IN LOVE with the lyrical stylings of Chicago when I was in 4th and 5th grade. Don't ask me why, because today I can't recollect what it was about Chicago. All I do remember is a very specific feeling. A feeling that has been bonded to my memory. No love songs have moved in me so deeply since I was in grade school, that is, until I started listening to Iron and Wine. This song, "Naked As We Came," nearly brings me to tears every time I listen to it. I find the tune (and concept) to be the most romantic song I have ever heard. There's a certain something about Iron and Wine that brings back that particular feeling. And I am indeed IN LOVE with all of Iron and Wines lyrics, but don't ask me why, because I couldn't tell you. Now, to share a little part of my heart:

"Naked As We Came"

She says "wake up, it's no use pretending"
I'll keep stealing, breathing her.
Birds are leaving over autumn's ending
One of us will die inside these arms
Eyes wide open, naked as we came
One will spread our ashes 'round the yard

She says "If I leave before you, darling
Don't you waste me in the ground"
I lay smiling like our sleeping children
One of us will die inside these arms
Eyes wide open, naked as we came
One will spread our ashes round the yard
