"Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent."
-Victor Hugo
Colbie Caillat's album "Coco" has been playing in my car cd player for weeks. It's the only music I've been listening to lately -- actually everyday. Caillat sings about love in all facets. Her blend of acoustic pop, light jazz, and soul emanates a very relaxing vibe reminiscent of the laid back tempo of Hawaii with clear skies and warm breezes. Her gentle yet spirited style of music is comparable to the likes of John Mayer, Bob Marley, and Lauryn Hill. Despite being young and only 22, her music evokes emotions and warm memories even for the older audience.
"Coco" is truly hard to resist and would surely keep me company during my long drives around the traffic-stricken city...
Realize
Realize
[Verse 1:]
Take time to realize,
That your worth is
Crashing down on in.
Take time to realize,
That I am on your side
Didn't I, didn't I tell you.
But I can't spell it out for you,
No, it's never gonna be that simple
But I can't spell it out for you
[Chorus:]
If you just realize what I've just realized,
Then we'd be perfect for each other
And we'll never find another
Just realized what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder if
We missed out on each other now.
[Verse 2:]
Take time to realize
Oh-oh I'm on your side
Didn't I, didn't I tell you.
Take time to realize
That this all can pass by
Didn't I didn't I tell you
[Refrain:]
But I can't spell it out for you,
No it's never gonna be that simple
But I can't spell it out for you.
[Chorus:]
If you just realized what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
And we'd never find another
Just realized what I've just realized
We'd never have to wonder if
We missed out on each other but.
[Verse 3:]
It's not that the same
No it's never the same
If you don't feel it too.
If you meet me half way
If you 'd meet me half way.
It could be the same for you.
[Chorus:]
If you just realize what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
And we'd never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder now
Just realize what I just realized
If you just realize what I just realized
Oh...
Missed out on each other now
Missed out on each other now
Missed out on each other now
Realize, realize
Realize, realize
Take time to realize,
That your worth is
Crashing down on in.
Take time to realize,
That I am on your side
Didn't I, didn't I tell you.
But I can't spell it out for you,
No, it's never gonna be that simple
But I can't spell it out for you
[Chorus:]
If you just realize what I've just realized,
Then we'd be perfect for each other
And we'll never find another
Just realized what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder if
We missed out on each other now.
[Verse 2:]
Take time to realize
Oh-oh I'm on your side
Didn't I, didn't I tell you.
Take time to realize
That this all can pass by
Didn't I didn't I tell you
[Refrain:]
But I can't spell it out for you,
No it's never gonna be that simple
But I can't spell it out for you.
[Chorus:]
If you just realized what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
And we'd never find another
Just realized what I've just realized
We'd never have to wonder if
We missed out on each other but.
[Verse 3:]
It's not that the same
No it's never the same
If you don't feel it too.
If you meet me half way
If you 'd meet me half way.
It could be the same for you.
[Chorus:]
If you just realize what I just realized
Then we'd be perfect for each other
And we'd never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We'd never have to wonder now
Just realize what I just realized
If you just realize what I just realized
Oh...
Missed out on each other now
Missed out on each other now
Missed out on each other now
Realize, realize
Realize, realize
