1,000 Things Lyrics
like a little boy who's hiding under covers
and looking to discover any way to play the part inside his darkened cave
well the meaning of life it starts at the nightlight
close your eyes and hope to see mine
but I stopped my counting when I saw your face
erasing memory I feel as though I've never seen a face before
until I saw your eyes smiling back at me thru my tears
I've been counting all these years
Now suddenly the thousand things Iove seen were
nothing more than dreams of you and me
fortunately you will kiss me and I'll kiss you back
fact of the matter of is that I don't know what the latter is
that I always wanted to kiss you but
I always wanted to run from you
Because I always wanted to miss you
And that Iove always wanted to come for you
what version isn't live? the only one i know of is on "tonight not again: live at the eagles ballroom." just curious.
sighh, ive been listening to this dude for almost three years now; his songs never get old..i'm always re-discovering them. amazing. the fact that his lyrics make so much sense in such an abstract way, that you just know that he knows exactly what he's talking about..it's really incredible. and comforting.
I love this song so very much. It seems to me like it's about someone who's had so many problems trying to find that one person right for them, and once they find them, none of the hurt before matters anymore.
ah. love... isn't it so very... (crazy, beautiful, warm, tickly, soft, safe, terrifying, calming, simple, impossible, exquisite, worn, twisted, inspiring, dangerous, painful, terrible, hurtful) fleeting...
Jason Mraz should write a book on love. He is nothing short of amazing. I feel like this song speaks right to my heart. "fact of the matter of is that I don't know what the latter is that I always wanted to kiss you but I always wanted to run from you Because I always wanted to miss you And that I've always wanted to come for you" so very true.
a 1000 things
i have the live version of this song, and im not too sure about what he says right before the song, but i love it anyways! its great... as are most- ok all- of jason's songs. i introduced him to a friend and now he's hooked, too. ps. i love the name, mrazmerize!!
i actually stole it from mrazmerized.com check it out
Danika- In the live version, he is saying (probably to Toca) "Did I ever tell you you remind me of Grimace from McDonaldland? Especially when you wear your purple shorts. I'm like...'whoa dude, I'm trippin'. I gotta get out of here."
haha, very funny, actually i also think he looks like the predator in the film 'alien and predator', and it was so interesting to see his ‘uncredit’ acting in 'you & i both' MV:)

when my boyfriend and i broke up, for some reason this song was comforting. i cant explain it. just, puts the simple complexity and fun back into being in love. jason = <3
such a cute song. no one could sing it except jason.
