no air, no hair


jane and i spend most of our free time together. a movie at the paris. breakfast at café gitane. a browse in the bookshop. a walk on the west side. i don't play golf, and she doesn't do lunch with the ladies.

for better or worse, we just end up hanging out together - a lot. which is quite nice and relaxing, and we've gotten very good at going out and enjoying the moment, not talking about the kids' schedules, or work, or bills. we generally try to keep things on a semi-inspired level.

the down side of this rears it's ugly head in such a funny way whilst i am preparing dinner last night - which may totally be an inside joke not at all funny to the reader, but quite hysterical to us in the most silly way. let me also say this - when we are home, if i am executing some mindless task like putting away the groceries, jane also comes over and helps me put away the groceries. if i am cleaning up a certain room, she comes over and helps me clean up said room. you get the picture. so as i chop and prep for dinner, jane is there right beside me ... i use a knife, she washes it and puts it away immediately (a knife, which i need two seconds later incidentally). if i take out a pot to boil water, she immediately puts it back, thinking i've already used it - trying to be helpful and clear the lot away.

finally i look at her and tell her that she is totally on top of me - what the #@*%$^ is she thinking - i have no air to breathe, i'm choking!!! and she starts singing the jordan sparks song no air, and we fall over laughing (even though it's NOT funny that she is utterly in my face while i'm cooking!!!). i review the lyrics (below), and they have absolutely NOTHING to do with our little laughing fit, but we do like the song (even though jane has RUINED it for me now, coupled with the rendition we sang in miami by the pool as jane lay wig-less - no HAIR) ...

it's 'cause you took my breath away
losing you is like living in a world with no air

i'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
my heart won't move, it's incomplete
if there was a way that i can make you understand

but how do you expect me
to live alone with just me
'cause my world revolves around you
it's so hard for me to breathe

tell me how i'm supposed to breathe with no air
can't live, can't breathe with no air
it's how i feel whenever you ain't there
it's no air, no air
got me out here in the water so deep
tell me how you gonna be without me
if you ain't here, i just can't breathe
it's no air, no air

no air, air
no air, air
no air, air
no air, air

i walked, i ran, i jumped, i flew
right off the ground to float to you
there's no gravity to hold me down for real

but somehow i'm still alive inside
you took my breath, but i survived
i don't know how, but i don't even care

so how do you expect me
to live alone with just me
'cause my world revolves around you
it's so hard for me to breathe

tell me how i'm supposed to breathe with no air
can't live, can't breathe with no air
it's how i feel whenever you ain't there
it's no air, no air
got me out here in the water so deep
tell me how you gonna be without me
if you ain't here, i just can't breathe
it's no air, no air

no air, air
no air, air
no air, air
no air, air
no more
it's no air, no air

tell me how i'm supposed to breathe with no air
can't live, can't breathe with no air
it's how i feel whenever you ain't there
it's no air, no air
got me out here in the water so deep
tell me how you gonna be without me
if you ain't here, i just can't breathe
it's no air, no air

no air, air
no air, air
no air, air
no air, air
