We all have guilty pleasures when it comes to music, and The Garden State soundtrack is definitely one of mine. (My biggest one, however, is probably Train’s ‘Drops of Jupiter.” Don’t tell anybody.)
While I love pretty much all the songs on The Garden State soundtrack, this is one of my favorites. Now while the lyrics could be interpreted in a way that you might not think is perfect for a wedding song, I think the sentiment is definitely there (I pasted the lyrics below just so you can see). I personally love the lyrics, and I love the song. Give it a listen and let me know what you think!
I drink a coffee every morning
It comes from a place that’s far away
And when I’m done I feel like talking
Without you here there is less to say
I don’t want you thinking I’m unhappy
What is closer to the truth
Is if I lived ’til I was one-hundred and two
I just don’t think I’ll ever get over you
I’m no longer moved to drink strong whiskey
I shook the hand of time and I knew
That if I lived ’til I could no longer climb my stairs
I just don’t think I’ll ever get over you
Your face it dances and it haunts me
Your laughter’s still ringing in my ears
I still find pieces of your presence here
Even, even after all these years
I don’t want you thinking I don’t get asked to dinner
‘Cause I’m here to say that I sometimes do
And even though I may soon feel a touch of love
I just don’t think I’ll ever get over you
And if I lived ’til I was one-hundred and two
I just don’t think I’ll ever get over you…
