Music and Lyrics: I Saw Red – Warrant

Well, how goes it, everyone? It has been a while. I feel like I am writing from another universe right now, this being my first post since I moved to the East Coast. Captain Awesome, Little HRH and I are reunited again with Um. It has been a crazy couple of weeks, what with all the earthquake, hurricane, school enrollment and all that jazz. But, we have been adjusting quite well and we could not be grateful to be with each other again.

One of the things I really missed about being away from Um is listening to him play the guitar and/or the organ. He has not referred to music sheets when he is trying to learn to play a new song for the longest time. And I really love listening to him putting a song together piece by piece. In the last couple of days, he has been working on playing this old song on the piano and now that he has nailed it, I could not get it out of my head.

I Saw Red – Warrant

Ooohh It must be magic
How inside your eyes
I see my destiny
Every time we kiss
I feel you breathe your love so deep inside of me
If the moon and stars should fall
They’d be easy to replace
I would lift you up to heaven
And you would take their place

Then I saw red
When I opened up the door
I saw red
My heart just spilled onto the floor
And I didn’t need to see his face
I saw yours
I saw red when I closed the door

I don’t think I’m gonna love you anymore

Everyday I wake up
I thank God that you are still a part of me
We’ve opened up the door to which
So many people never find the key
And if the sun should ever fail to send its light
We would burn a thousand candles
And make everything alright

Then I saw red
When I opened up the door
I saw red
My heart just spilled onto the floor
And I didn’t need to see his face
I saw yours
I saw red when I closed the door
I don’t think I’m gonna love you anymore

I’ve been hurt
And I’ve been blind
I’m not sure that I’ll be fine
I never thought it would end this way
Oohh it must be magic
