A Slightly Backwards Thought

The song:

"Lips Of An Angel" - Hinder

Honey why you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now.
Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud

Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice say my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I don't think she has a clue

Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice say my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's really good to hear your voice say my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

Honey why you calling me so late?


The situation:

I've pretty much hated this song since the first time I
heard it. I thought it was the most annoying voice I'd heard in a long time, and the lyrics left much to be desired. The guy in the song is a total dick! Well on Christmas Day eve, Poke and I went to Brewstir's on Sunbury for karaoke. He was completely wasted after drinking all day at his Aunt's house, and I was completely sober. We had some beers, about 2-3 pitchers I think, and then I had a nice buzz going on. It was all fun. Near the end of the night someone played "Lips of an Angel" on the jukebox, and as we're talking about what a shitty song is, Poke says, "You know, last year, you were the girl on the phone." I'm like... wtf? And then it hit me - I was. I was the other woman to Caitlyn (sp?), the other woman to Carrie, and the other woman to whoever else he dated (I think he only dated one other chick though.) When he was in Myrtle Beach, I called him on his birthday, and he was with Carrie. He actually cheated on Caitlyn with me I suppose. It was kind of a sweet thought, that all this time I've been the one he's been waiting for, the one he was always thinking about. When I was with SL, all I thought about was Poke. He would call me randomly in the middle of the night, or send me text messages while I was out, or when I saw him he would buy me a drink or something, and I always wished I could be with him. I settled for SL just because I thought I would never ever get Poke.

I'm in love. Yay!!

That song drives me insane too!
It's the most generic, contrived shit in the last year, and that singer needs a good beating.
