Your name is the splinter inside me

Somehow I feel that Joshua Radin hides such melanchony under his soothing voice. How do you sound so sad and comforting at the same time? But I love how he sounds, especially in duets, where the voices complement so perfectly.

I should know who I am by now
I walk the record stands somehow
Thinking of winter
Your name is the splinter inside me

While I wait

And I remember the sound
Of your November downtown
And I remember the truth
A warm December with you

But I don't have to make this mistake
And I don't have to stay this way
If only I would wake

The walk has all been cleared by now
Your voice is all I hear somehow
Calling out Winter
Your voice is the splinter inside me

While I wait

I could have lost myself
In rough blue waters in your eyes
And I miss you still



Joshua Radin | Winter

This is the first song where I heard his voice, it's from the soundtrack of The Last Kiss. I suppose it's a happy song, but it makes me sad.

Been up all night staring at you
Wondering what's on your mind
I've been this way with so many before
But this feels like the first time
You want the sunrise to go back to bed
I want to make you laugh

Mess up my bed with me
Kick off the covers I'm waiting
Every word you say I think
I should write down
Don't want to forget come daylight

Happy to lay here, just happy to be here
I'm happy to know you
Play me a song, your newest one
Please leave your taste on my tongue
Paperweight on my back
Cover me like a blanket

Mess up my bed with me
Kick off the covers I'm waiting
Every word you say i think
I should write down
Don't want to forget come daylight

And no need to worry
That's wastin time
And no need to wonder
What's been on my mind

It's you

Every word you say I think
I should write down
Don't want to forget come daylight

And I give up
I let you win
You win cause i'm not counting

You made it back to sleep again
Wonder what you're dreaming
