is to love and be loved.

I’ve been living with a shadow overhead
I’ve been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I’ve been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can’t seem to move on
[Alex]
I’ve been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again someday
I’ve been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
[Cora & Alex]
All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love Oh oh oh
[Cora]
I’ve been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I’ve been searching but I just don’t see the signs
I know that it’s out there
There’s gotta be something for my soul somewhere
[Alex]
I’ve been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I’m open to your suggestions
[Cora & Alex]
All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I’m hoping you’ll be there for me in the end
[Cora]
There are moments when I don’t know if it’s real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation
[Cora & Alex]
All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I’m hoping you’ll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I’ll be there for you in the end

I love this song, from top to bottom, start to end.
Music & Lyrics is a damn good movie.
Then again, it's probably just because i'm a sucker for romantic comedy flicks, where you just know that no matter what happens, the male lead and the female lead will definitely fall in love, argue and break up, but love prevails and they get back together again, with the male chasing after her on a motorcycle (ala How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days) or the guy writing a song and performing it at a live concert.
Don't we all wish that somehow, it'll end up like that for us? that a guy will do something drop-dead romantic for us and sweep us off our feet and all the anger we've mustered inside will dissipate instantly.
sigh.
anyway. yeah, watch Music & Lyrics. It was sitting around in my laptop, collecting dust cos i was waiting to watch it with him. :( though i knew he doesnt like romantic flicks. doesnt that make me really silly? haha. so i gave up and watched it myself. =)
I'm also a sucker for romantic movies set in New York. Something about that setting makes it more magical. :D
Watch the stars outside my window,
In your arms I'd burst out crying,
And as you lay your head on my pillow,
All I wanted was to touch your face
And hear you say that it'd be all right
And that we'd be together all night.
