Annie

A few days ago, my friend Grace Anne showed me a song called Annie. Ever since then I've been hooked. It gets stuck in my head and plays over and over and over, and I find that I'm still not tired of it. If I could figure out how to do it, I would set it as the ring tone for my phone (hey, that rhymed!). I find it interesting that the music reminds me of Switchfoot. They have almost the same sound as this. And then the vocals sound almost exactly the same as the Rascal Flatts! It's like the two bands got together and became Safetysuit!

Anyhow, without further ado, I present to you Annie in all her glory.

Annie
By Safetysuit



There was a girl named Annie,
She had a very pretty face,
But not the way you would think so,
Let me see if I can try to explain it...

She had a smile that could light up a room,
And when she moved, it'd be moving in you,
But she wasn't like a magazine,
She was just plain Jane,
And her name was Annie.

She never looked in a mirror,
She didn't like what she would see,
And even if I tried to tell her,
She'd never listen to a word I'd say,

She always wanted what she never had
But never had what she needed so badly,
Someone telling her she was fine
And that’s not right
And its why I’m saying...

Annie don’t be shy here
Annie don’t just lie there
Looks don’t make the world go round
But it comes around
Annie don’t be shy here
Annie please don’t cry dear
I always have to stop myself
Cause you’re beautiful.

I didn’t know if I could tell her
I didn’t know if I could make her see
She didn’t need to find her beauty
She didn’t need to find a way to show me

They took her moments of feeling alive
And made them moments of dying inside
She needed someone to scream her name
To take her pain and its why I screaming...

Annie don’t be shy here
Annie don’t just lie there
Looks don’t make the world go round
But it comes around
Annie don’t be shy here
Annie please don’t cry here
I always have to stop myself
Cause you’re beautiful

And Annie you are the one sight my eyes never tire of
Its like I cannot get enough of you
Annie you are the one song left in my symphony
Like you were made for me

Annie don’t be shy here
Annie don’t just lie there
Looks don’t make the world go round
But it comes around
Annie don’t be shy here
Annie please don’t cry here
I always have to stop myself
Cause you’re beautiful.
