Jason Mraz - If It Kills Me
Hello DailyCrackheads…DailyCrack Disciples…whatever you choose to call yourself. Sorry for the delay in posting today - my computer was not being my friend. I’ve been trying to post this song all day and now that I’ve finally got this thing working, I’m not sure what I want to say about it.
I really have a love/hate relationship with this song. I love the chorus. Really really love it. Not that fond of the first verse. But once you get past that its an amazing song. It’s similar to my relationship with Kelis’s “Caught Out There” - there portions I love I LOVE and the portions I dislike I HATE.
More importantly though, I chose this song because it kind of reminded me of one of our staffers *ahem* that needs to learn to take a few more risks. So…take some risks folks. Tell her what you need to say dammit. Its better to regret things you’ve done then to regret things you wish you had done. IMHO. Think about it and enjoy!

Jason Mraz - If It Kills Me
Hello, tell me you know
Yeah, you figured me out
Something gave it away
It would be such a beautiful moment
To see the look on your face
To know that I know that you know now
And baby that’s a case of my wishful thinking
You know nothing
Well you and I
Why, we go carrying on for hours, on and
We get along much better
Than you and your boyfriend
Well all I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can’t say it after all we’ve been through
And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me
How long, can I go on like this,
Wishing to kiss you,
Before I rightly explode?
Well this double life I lead isn’t healthy for me
In fact it makes me nervous
If I get caught I could be risking it all
Cause maybe there’s a lot that I miss
In case I’m wrong
All I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But still can’t say it after all we’ve been through
And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
If I should be so bold
I’d ask you to hold my heart in your hand
I’d tell you from the start how I longed to be your man
But I never said a word
I guess I gonna miss my chance again
Well all I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
I still can’t say it after all we’ve been through
And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
Oh, I think it might kill me
And all I really want from you is to feel me
It’s a feeling inside that keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
It might kill me
ADDENDUM:
3LeafClover posted the video from So You Think You Can Dance that featured the song. Its an amazing dance and part of the reason I love the song so much. Perfect Addendum to the post. Don’t know how long it will be up so enjoy it while you can.
