I've Missed You, But I Haven't Met You, Oh But I Want To

So, today we have a double header since I can't decide which of these songs I would rather post...and seeing as I haven't posted in a while, I figured posting 2 wouldn't be unbearable...and especially seeing as I just kinda make these little blogs for my own entertainment cause no one else reads them, I can do whatever I want. so there. ha.

Anyway, both of these songs are by The Civil Wars. I really quite enjoy this duo. They are just two people that write great music, play, and sing by themselves...not to mention they are awesome at it. So, these songs kind of have the same theme and can go together, which is also why I figured it would be ok to include them in the same blog update. The first one is entitled "To Whom It May Concern," the second song being "I've Got This Friend." ...and I guess I like these songs cause I can relate. I'm at the point in my life where, well, lets just say of the first 4 cousins on the Reese side of the family, I am the only one that is single...and probably will be for the rest of my life...and sometimes I can't help but feel like I will be the loner/let down of the family. I have been single for approximately 20 years, and with little friends for most of that too, so I can't help but relate in the first song when it talks about waiting for someone to walk into your life...and missing that close relationship. I mean, I want that too. And then on to the second song. I really love this song, and partially because I feel like I am the friend...both the male and female friend. (and you will understand this more when you listen to the song.) I originally have had in mind for a while now to add "To Whom It May Concern" onto my list of blog updates, but the more i listened to "I've Got This Friend," the more I thought about adding this song instead...so I ended up posting both, but I think if you only have time for one, check out I've Got This Friend. So I guess without further delay, lets listen to the song shall we:



Why are you so far from me?
In my arms is where you ought to be
How long will you make me wait?
I dont know how much more I can take
I missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh how I want to
How I do
Slowly counting down the days
Till I finally know your name
Ooo the way your hand feels round my waist
The way you laugh
The way your kisses taste
I missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh how I want to
How I do, How I do
I missed you
But I haven't met you
Oh how I missed you
I haven't met you
Oh but I want to
Oh how I want to
Dear whoever you might be
I'm still waiting patiently.



I've got this friend
I don't think you know him
He's not much for words
He's hid in his hardened way

Oh I've got this friend
A loveless romantic
All that he really wants
Is someone to want him back

Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, If the right one came, along

I've got this friend
I don't think you know her
She sings a simple song
It sounds a lot like his

Oh I've got this friend
Holding onto her heart
Like it's a little secret
Like it's all she's got to give

Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, if the right one came, along

It'd be such a shame
(If they never meet)
She sounds lovely
(He sounds right out of a dream)
If only
(If only)
If only

Ohh
Ohh, if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, (I've got this friend) if the right one came
If the right one came along
Ohh, (I've got this friend)
If the right one came, along
