In Lieu of a Sunday Poem

Here are the lyrics to "Total Eclipse of the Heart"*

Every now and then
I get a little bit lonely
and you're never coming around

Every now and then
I get a little bit tired
of listening to the sound of my tears

Every now and then
I get a little bit nervous
that the best of all the years have gone by

Every now and then
I get a little bit terrified
and then I see the look in your eyes

Every now and then I fall apart
Every now and then I fall apart

Every now and then I get a little bit restless
and I dream of something wild

Every now and then I get a little bit helpless
and I'm lying like a child in your arms

Every now and then I get a little bit angry
and I know I have to get out and cry

Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
but then I see the look in your eyes

Every now and then I fall apart
Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever

And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line

Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

Every now and then I know
You'll never be the boy you always you wanted to be
Every now and then I know
You'll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am

Every now and then I know
There's no one in the universe as magical and wonderous as you
Every now and then I know
There's nothing any better and there's nothing I just wouldn't do

Every now and then I fall apart
Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever

And we'll only be making it right
Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line

Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can say
Total eclipse of the heart


*Why? Because tonight while doing karaoke I realized; not only are these lyrics ridiculous to the point of being sublime, but I'm pretty sure Twilight is actually based on this song.

Which I guess could explain the Hair Issues I was discussing the other day, because Seriously:
