Music Monday

The following song has been very popular on the radio because of the publicity it received from being featured on the 2nd season finale of the the hit tv show, Grey’s Anatomy! The lyrics are very emotionally powerful I find, and speak of many feelings I’ve had or am currently feeling. I want to share with you an acoustic version of this great ballad of our time:

Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars

We’ll do it all, everything, on our own
We don’t need anything or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world

I don’t quite know how to say how I feel
Those three words are said too much
They’re not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world
Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life

Let’s waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
to remind me
to find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world
Forget what we’re told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that’s bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
They’re all I can see
I don’t know where
Confused about how as well
I just know that these things
Will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world

(As Meredith hugs Finn and keeps dancing with her head on his shoulder. Sees Derek staring at her over Addison’s shoulder)
Finn: You alright?
Meredith: Yeah, I’m just hot, and ah, claustrophobic.
Derek (To Addison): You know what? There’s a patient I forgot to check on.
Meredith: You know, I’m just gonna run and splash some cold water on my face.
Derek: I’ll be right back, okay?
Meredith: I’ll be right back, okay?
(Meredith running down a hall in the hospital)
Derek: Meredith.
Meredith: Leave me alone.
Derek: Meredith.
(Meredith and Derek in a hospital room)
Meredith: Just leave me alone.
Derek: I just want to make sure you’re alright.
Meredith: No! I’m not alright? Okay? Are you satisfied? I’m not alright. Because you have a wife, and you call me a whore, and our dog died, and now you’re looking at me again. Stop looking at me.
Derek: I am not looking at you. I am not looking at you.
Meredith: You are looking at me. And you watch me. And Finn has plans. And I like Finn. He’s perfect for me, and I’m really trying here to be happy, and I feel like I can’t breathe. I can’t breathe with you looking at me like that so just stop!
Derek: You think I want to look at you? That I wouldn’t rather be looking at my wife? I’m married. I have responsibilities. She, she doesn’t drive me crazy. She doesn’t make it impossible for me to feel normal. She doesn’t make me sick to my stomach thinking about my veterinarian touching her with his hands. Man, I would give anything to not be looking at you.
(Long pause. Meredith turns around and looks at Derek. Derek grabs Meredith’s head and kisses her. And then they have sex)
Derek: What does this mean?
Meredith: Uh, I had panties on, black. Do you see them?
Derek: What does this mean?
Meredith: And fix your tie.
Derek: Meredith, what does this mean?
Callie (opening the door): Oh, the nurse told me to come find you. You have to come now, its Izzie. Wait, wait. (stops Meredith and ties the back of her dress and gives Derek a mean look)
