I'll Back You Up

I was going through my massive CD collection and I came across the album Remember Two Things by Dave Matthews Band. I would not consider myself a huge fan of him or them necessarily but I respect them as artist. Anyhoo, I happen to be listening to this song and I couldn't believe how beautiful the lyrics are. I have always enjoyed the song, but I am not sure if I ever really took time to listen to the words. They are amazing and quite possibly could be one of the best written songs ever and this is a very bold statement coming from me. But I like it and I think everybody has someone they feel this way about or we all have someone we wish felt this way about us...Oh and Nicci, I thought you might enjoy this blog because I know how much you love this song...:)


I'll Back You Up
Dave Matthews Band

I remember thinking
I'll go on forever only knowing
I'll see you again
But I know
The touch of you is so hard to remember
But like that touch I know no other
And for sure we have danced
In the risk of each other
Would like to dance
Around the world with me


I'll be falling all about my own thing
And I know your the heaviest weight
When your not here that's hung
Around my head


And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
The seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up


I remember thinking
Sometimes we walk
Sometimes we run away
But I know
No matter how fast we are running
Somehow we keep
You'll be here
Somehow we keep with each other


I'll be falling all about my own thing
And I know your the heaviest weight
When your not here that's hung
Around my head


And your lips burn wild
Thrown from the face of a child
And in your eyes
THe seeing of the greatest few
Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up
