I heard their debut song “We Cry” (posted on slide 2), thought it was Jason Mraz singing (sorry!) and just had to look for more songs from this band. Found out they are an Irish band from Dublin, stumbled upon their other song about a man who waits on one corner for a lost love, and listened to the song over and over and over again.The three man band is composed of Danny O’Donoghue on vocals and keys, Mark Sheehan on guitars and Glen Powers on drums.
Who wouldn’t fall in love with these lyrics? So sad and romantic… (sigh)…
Going back to the corner where I first saw you. Gonna camp in my sleeping bag I’m not gonna move. Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand -- Saying “if you see this girl can you tell her where I am”. Some try to hand me money they don’t understand. I’m not broke I’m just a broken hearted man. I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do? How can I move on when I’m still in love with you?
'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me and your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be? Thinking maybe you’d come back here to the place that we’d meet. Then you’d see me waiting for you on the corner of the street. So I’m not moving.
Policeman says “Son you can't stay here”. I say there’s someone I’m waiting for if it's a day, a month, a year. Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows. If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go.
People talk about the guy who’s waiting in on a girl. There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world. Maybe I’ll get famous as the man who can’t be moved. And maybe you won’t mean to but you’ll see me on the news. And you’d come running to the corner 'cause you’ll know it’s just for you. I’m the man who can’t be moved.
Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me...
