I watched her do this song at one of her live shows and I was mesmerized.......

One of my old favorites. Thank you for easing my pain so sweetly all those years, Juliana! Best wishes to you always. 💐

"This might just be the best time of my life" (4:26) always knocks my socks off

Flashbacks to 'coming down' early 90's with friends...lifetime ago...haven't heard this for ...since down. Thanks! Really need to burn this album to my IPod.

The best song I've heard ever about a girl impossibly trying to obtain a promiscuous
alpha male. She's so talented.

The Lights
Juliana Hatfield
Produced by Gary Smith
Album: Hey Babe

I follow the path of a falling star
It takes me closer to where you are, are
What can I do? I try to be with you
But I can only go so far
You're light years ahead of me
So bright that I can't help but see (c)
And you, I know how good it could be
I try to look outside myself
I try to find some outside help
I'll try to sleep 'til you come up to me
And I'll lie down right under the lights
For a little while, I can feel alright
A better life is in plain sight
I'll be fine until the time comes to put out all of the lights
Half a Moon is Moon enough
To get me all the way across the bay
A roman candle shoots off from the beach
And lightning strikes a place way out of my reach
I'd say I have the perfect view
If only it was always true
But in the dark, it is most of the time
When I get right down in front of the lights
Sometimes, I really start to feel alright
A better life is in plain sight
I'll be fine until the Sun comes up
And dims the light of the night
Come up right down next to me
I don't have to say anything
It's better than any made-up fantasy
Looking out and looking up
I can see with my eyes shut
This might just be the BEST TIME OF MY LIFE
And when I get right down in front of the lights
Sometimes I really start to feel alright
A better life is in plain sight
I'll be fine until the time comes to put out all of the lights

[@whitesakura7799]

Holy Shit

[@goodbail]

Great song..shame she never hit the big time....although she seems so shy maybe its better she didnt

[@sandrajovic9304]

She don't want that kind of stardom, nor needs that shit. Shy or not, tho true...
Independent all the way, I say!

[@Astrogoth13]

AutoTune rocks. ;)

[@sandrajovic9304]

Explain, please. I would love to know what you meant...(???) Seriously-
