I spot her from across the room
heard she sings in perfect tune
four languages and a bookshelf of poetry!
clutch my drink tight to my chest
missed the class on how to dress so effortlessly -
she radiates
I wanna be I want to be just like you but also me
someone you’d think is cool to be
an ordinary extraordinary, ordinary extraordinary girl
I wanna be I wanna be just like you but also me
someone you think you’d like to be
an ordinary extraordinary, ordinary extraordinary woman
could it be there’s no other?
no other I can hold onto?
could it be there’s no other,
no other who loves me like you?
could it be there's no other,
no other in the heat of the summer?
could it be there’s no other,
no other I can hold onto?

this record is so evocative of a specific time of day, in a specific room, in a specific time of my childhood in 1991, that I get kind of lost in memory when I listen. this is music overflowing with warmth and kindness, a soft world for anyone who needs it Ashley Rivera
