<p>i bring this topic up because our senior class will be beginning to plan our senior graduation and all that stuff within the next few weeks (i know..kind early)</p>
<p>I elected "I'll be" by Edwin McCain as our graduation song (it was a choice on the ballot). Now that I read the lyrics, I find that it's more like a love song than a friendship/parting song. I first got the hint it was a graduation song when I heard it in a boarding school video several years ago, and I've liked the song ever since.</p>
<p>The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above</p>
<p>(Chorus)
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be love suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life</p>
<p>Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above</p>
<p>(Chorus)</p>
<p>I've been dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, Remembered the things that you said</p>
<p>They always play "Time of Your Life" at the end of the school dances, and people start crying because everyone has to leave. I don't think it's because of the song.</p>
<p>that remix by DJ sammy - the one with the little girl talking to her dad.. about the 9/11 incident (the dad died).</p>
<p>and when i was facing parental pressure, the song, Numb by Linkin park made me cry..
I think it's called Numb.. The song that goes "i'm tired of being what you want me to be, blahlbalhblah don't know what you're expecting of me, under the pressure somethingsomethingsomething every step that i take is somethingsomething to yooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuu"</p>
<p>"If i could turn back the hands of time," by R. kelly, I believe, takes the prize for saddest song. I've cried so many times listening to that song, and I AM A BOY!</p>
