{Re-Play Thursday} A Thousand Years - Christina Perri

"Christina Perri - A Thousand Years"

We are gonna slow it down for this weeks Re-Play Thursday! For the past couple weeks I have been GO GO GO GO non-stop and my music tends to reflect my mood 100% of the time. I tell myself every now and again, "Amanda, you have to just caaaaalllllllmmmmmmmm down. Really. You will give yourself a heart attack and that is just not o.k. You don't have time for that." 

Fast forward to this past Tuesday morning in my car coming home from the gym and this little tune comes on. I have heard it before, yes, but it was this particular moment when I really listened to it. Don't judge but I have not read Twilight or seen any of the movies. I refuse to see the movies until I have read the books. With that being said, I had no clue this was in the most recent movie. I will be honest and say that because of this song alone, I may jump on the bandwagon with the Twilight series. (I am that influenced by music....no joke) The lyrics are touching. The music is beautiful and fluid. The entire song is one that I wished I had on my ipod that second to listen to over and over. Well you better believe I did just that! 99 cents later, I had this beauty on repeat until I could sing along at the top of my lungs.....

Heartbeats fast 
Colors and promises 
How to be brave 
How can I love, when I'm afraid to fall 
But watching you stand alone 
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow 

One step closer 

I have died everyday waiting for you 
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you 
For a thousand years 
I'll love you for a thousand more 

Time stands still 
Beauty in all she is 
I will be brave 
I will not let anything take away 
What's standing in front of me 
Every breath 
Every hour has come to this 

One step closer 

I have died everyday waiting for you 
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you 
For a thousand years 
I'll love you for a thousand more 

And all along I believed I would find you 
Time has brought your heart to me 
I have loved you for a thousand years 
I'll love you for a thousand more 

One step closer 
One step closer 

I have died everyday waiting for you 
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you 
For a thousand years 
I'll love you for a thousand more 

And all along I believed I would find you 
Time has brought your heart to me 
I have loved you for a thousand years 
I'll love you for a thousand more
