Shannon’s Pick: The Way It Should Be

I kind of feel like a cheater when I reuse an original write up but if it ain't broke don't fix it....

 “A sea of emotion just made for you and me.”  
This makes me think of all that we have been through. 
 “It could all be the same, the way that it used to be.” 
 This makes me think of the time we will soon have when it is just the two of us again. 
 “And if you let me love you I’ll show you the way it should be.”

Larry’s Perspective:

We all know my love for The Outfield and this album (Rockeye) was another one released prior to meeting Shannon. So I loved a lot of songs just because it was a new Outfield album and they were great songs.

I think that's important to know because when Shannon first gave me this song, it was that classic listening vs. hearing line I talked about in Wake up Time.

I think I was just happy that she included a song I already loved from a band I loved.

But at some point later on, I really put myself in her shoes and heard what she was saying to me - not The Outfield.

Honestly, it was one of those moments when you question your worth - do I really mean this much to someone else?

When the answer to that question is "yes", that is a humbling and beautiful realization. I have never listened to this song again without thinking about this sentiment and getting a little teary eyed...

P.S. Here's more songs we have used from Rockeye: Going Back; Take Me Home; Tonight You're Mine

The Way It Should Be
The Outfield

Picture an ocean - that no one else can see
A sea of emotion - just made for you and me
I'd promise you anything if you'd - listen to my plea

And if you let me love you - I'd show you the way it
should be
Yes if you let me love you - I'll show you the way it
should be

Picture a sad man - alone inside his dreams
It's just how I feel when - I try to make you see
That you could have anything if you'd - put your trust
in me

And if you let me love you - I'd show you the way it
should be
Yes if you let me love you - I'll show you the way it
should be

I'm always afraid of what you might think of me
It could all be the same - the way that it used to be

Picture a castle where - a fool is all you see
I'm living in hope that one day - you might rescue me
'Cos I'd wait forever if I - thought you'd set me free

And if you let me love you - I'd show you the way it
should be
Yes if you let me love you - I'll show you the way it
should be
