Duet... Impression.

IMPRESSION
copyright: Audrey Korshoff 2008 (doc 9/16/08) BMI

MAN:
I look back and see, the man I used to be
so afraid to love you that it hurt
I was a coward way back then
didn't know just what life was about

And I'm sorry
because I hurt you
And I regret
all the things i did
It wasn't really my intention
to leave you with that impression

WOMAN:
Well your actions, spoke louder than your words
You left your mark on me.
I used to be weak, but now I'm strong
Except each time I see your face.

And I'm sorry
because you hurt me
And I regret
All the things you did
It wasn't really my intention
To let you leave your impression.

BOTH:
The time has passed
But the memory stays
I can change tomorrow,
but my yesterdays remain the same

CHORUS (BOTH):
And I'm sorry
(because I hurt you) That you hurt me
And I regret
(All the things I did) All the things you did
It wasn't really, my intention
(to leave you with that impression) To let you leave your impression.

BRIDGE:
WOMAN: I can accept your apology
Because I know you won't hurt me...
BOTH: Ever... again...

And I'm sorry
(because I hurt you) That you hurt me
And I regret
(All the things I did) All the things you did
It wasn't really, my intention
(to leave you with that impression) To let you leave your impression.

It's been such a long time since I felt so inspired to write a song. And for this one I've got the tune too. That happens every now and then to me.

Anyway, when I was a teenager, I was friends with this boy, who I really cared for. He went off to college, and I was a senior in high school when he came back to visit one night. We had always kissed before (nothing more), and I was excited to see him.

The date rape drug was pretty famous back then as being a popular thing to do to women. I was rufied.

By my friend.

I didn't realize what it was until the next day, and I didn't have sex with him, but I woke up/came to choking on a body part. That was my first introduction to that body part as a teenager. Not a great one.

Anyway, years later, he actually apologized to me at my high school reunion.

I came home tonight to find his picture on my facebook account, and he has since married one of our former classmates. The song just flowed.... but there's the story behind it.

Completely unglamourous, but full of emotion.

I've dealt with it, and I've moved on... but I think some experiences never leave you. Seeing his picture, brought back all of it. The friendship, the betrayal, and even the apology - as an adult.

Hm.

Just lookin' for a good time!

I am in love with this song from Lady Antebellum.



Here are the lyrics:

Lookin' For A Good Time(Dave Haywood / Charles Kelley / Hillary Scott / Keith Follese)

Girl you're beautiful
You're bout near perfect
But I bet somebody's already told you that
Name your poison
Name your passion
Cause a boy like me just couldn't help but ask
Keep on talking to me baby
I'm hanging on your every word
Keep those drinks a coming maybe
We'll both get what we deserve

Chorus

How bout baby
We make a promise
To not promise anything more than one night
Complicated situations
Only get worse in the morning light
Hey I'm just lookin' for a good time

Put in a long hard week doing this 9 to 5
And you're just the girl to get that off my mind
You shouldn't 've worn that dress
You shouldn't dance like that
You got this little heart of mine in overdrive
I sure love this conversation
The band is good, the music's loud
But would you get the wrong impression
If I called us a cab right now

Repeat Chorus

Go ahead and lie to me and pull me close
Tell me that you love me even if you don't
The rule is don't you ever even talk about forever
But you never say never in life

Repeat Chorus

Hey I'm just lookin' for a good time
