"It's been a long December and there's reason to believe
Maybe this year will be better than the last
I can't remember the last thing that you said as you were leaving
Now the days go by so fast
And it's one more day up in the canyons
And it's one more night in Hollywood
If you think that I could be forgiven...I wish you would"
--the Counting Crows
I think that last line is just so sweet and somehow poignant. It's partly the melody, but I love the way the words shape that feeling. And although that's the chorus they only say that line once; it turns into "If you think you might come to California...I think you should" and then "It's been so long since Ive seen the ocean...I guess I should." It's really a lovely song.
