For You From Me

Every so often I hear a song that really just captures my heart. Recently, I've become a fan of Jon McLaughlin. I looked into his music at first because I thought he was a former American Idol contestant that was one of my favorites. It turns out that he's not, but I'm very grateful for the mistake. His music is absolutely wonderful. He reminds me of my friend Chris in that they both are amazing singers and pianists. I heard this song on my way back from Wal-Mart, and it became an instant favorite. I can't wait until I have someone to sing this about. So...here are the words for "From You From Me" by Jon McLaughlin:

Unexpected
Understatement of the year
That's for sure
Who'd of thought that
I'd be standing at your door

It's just the way you say my name that throws me
And all the windows of my past are closing
And everything that you see

Is for you from me
I'd give it away so easily
Never stopped to look at what's behind
For you from me
Everything we want will be
Holdin' us together tonight
Tonight

Unexpected
I'm not used to chasin' dreams
And catchin' them
All of a sudden
I'm the winner in the end

I'm used to every door I open closing
Always makin' sure I'm not supposing
I can't believe I'm really here

For you from me
I'd give it away so easily
Never stopped to look at what's behind
For you from me
Everything we want will be
Holdin' us together tonight
Tonight

We will never fall
We'll defy the laws of this world
With new ones of our own
That's the way I feel
Stupid but for real
All that I am is...

For you from me
I'd give it away so easily
Never stopped to look at what's behind
For you from me
Everything we want will be
Holdin' us together tonight
Tonight
