teenage dream...

do you ever hear a song and wonder later why it really resonated with you? why you wanted to play it over and over and over again? why it meant so much to you even though the lyrics might be something you wouldn't normally like, or the song itself is too poppy or whatever?

well, that's how i feel about Katy Perry's Teenage Dream! since the first time i heard it (some months back) i have loved it and then lastnight as i was driving to Leah's in the pouring rain, playing it so loud that i could hardly hear myself think, it dawned on me....Chris makes me feel like i'm living a teenage dream!

and i'm not saying this is a good realisation necessarily, actually it's not, but of course, my teenage self has been the one who has struggled to say goodbye to him and she's the same one that has this 'chemistry' with him and the desire to be a bad girl with him...or does she? is it me that has this amazing chemistry with him? mmmm more thinking required there methinks! good job i haven't done my walk yet today....

so it's true! he makes me feel hot and i would like him to touch me in my skin tight jeans (of course my 13 year old body probably looked better in skin tight jeans that my current 42 year old body)....i'd like to have my teenage dream with him...

but alas, it can't be...

so Chris, this is for you (of course you won't read it, but that doesn't matter!)

You make me feel
Like I'm livin' a
Teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away and
Don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back

My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance and
Don't ever look back,
Don't ever look back


ah teenage dreams....love 'em!
