Her




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?"





The first verse, his voice was full of pain. I can feel it, dahil nakatingin lang siya saakin bago at habang kumakanta siya.





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?




"Ay, mapanakit naman kanta ni sir." Rinig kong sabi ni Karen. Hindi ko nalang siya pinansin. Umiwas na lang rin ako ng tingin kay Erebus.





How can I move on when I'm still in love with  you?





Damn.





'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'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street




I remembered the words he said on the elevator, that he waited for me to come back.






So I'm not moving, I'm not moving

Policeman says, "Son, you can't stay here."
I said, "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."




Hindi ko pinansin ang mga nagtitililian na mga babaeng employees sa tabi ko, pati na rin mga galing sa kompanya ko. Grabe, si Erebus lang 'yan.




'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'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.




"Miss Vance, diba boyfriend mo po si Sir?" An employee asked me. Nabilaukan naman ako sa sinabi niya.





"What?" I asked.






So I'm not moving, I'm not moving,
I'm not moving, I'm not moving






People talk about the guy that's waiting on a girl, oh ohh
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world, hmm





And maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
Maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news
And you'll come running to the corner
'Cause you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved





"Ay sorry po, kalay po kasi sa department namin na boyfriend niyo po si Sir. Pansin ko rin po sa mga titig niya sayo kanina sa meeting, hehe." Eksplanasyon niya.
