Just a random music moment

I'm Not That Girl" Lyrics



Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl


Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl


Ev'ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in

Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with a gentle curl

That's the girl he chose
And Heaven knows
I'm not that girl

Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl

There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl...


I love the musical Wicked.  I really do, but from time to time this song will randomly play on my iPod and I always seem to catch my breath.  We have all been there.  We all know what it feels like to be 'not that girl'. And even when we are not in that situation, we can remember a time when we might have been.  I am pretty sure that is what most 80's movies are based on, so it can't just be a select few of us!

Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl

I think that this is my favorite part of the song. You let yourself dream.  Sometimes it works and other times, you get hurt.  I guess it's all part of the game.  Guess I would rather be in the game then spend my life on the bench, so it's a risk I am willing to take.

But when you wanted so desperately to be the one that he/she fell in love with and you come to the realization that it will never happen and they are giving that love to someone else ....makes you want to not only leave the game, but refuse to be a part of it ever again.

I am not saying this is about me.  Or that I am asking for my jersey to be retired.  I just heard this song a few minutes ago, and this was the feeling that it brought up in me.  That's all.
