Caught In The In Between...

I was shopping at Kohls a little while ago today and, all of a sudden, I heard the coolest song over the store speakers. The lyrics grabbed my attention. I stopped in the middle of the store and wrote a couple down to make sure I could find the song later. It is a song about self esteem. Just love these lines:

...Cuz she's just the way she is, but no ones told her that's ok....

...Perfect only in her imperfections....

Here is the video



Beautiful Disaster
by Jon McLaughlin

She loves her mama's lemonade,
Hates the sound that goodbyes make.
She prays one day she'll find someone to need her.
She swears that there's no difference,
Between the lies and compliments.
It's all the same if everybody leaves her.

And every magazine tells her she's not good enough,
The pictures that she sees make her cry.

And she would change everything, everything just ask her.
Caught in the in between, a beautiful disaster,
And she just needs someone to take her home.

She's giving boys what they want, tries to act so nonchalant,
Afraid they'll see that she's lost her direction.
She never stays the same for long,
Assuming that she'll get it wrong.
Perfect only in her imperfections.

She's not a drama queen,
She doesn't want to feel this way, only seventeen, but tired

She would change everything for happy ever after.
Caught in the in between, a beautiful disaster,
But she just needs someone to take her home.

Cuz she's just the way she is, but no ones told her that's ok.

And she would change everything, everything just ask her.
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster,

And she would change everything for happy ever after.
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster,

But she just needs someone to take her home
And she just needs someone to take her home.

peace, hope and love,

note: if Jon McLaughlin sounds familiar, he sings this song from the Movie Enchanted.
