Music and Lyrics

This movie is my all-time favorite. Nothing much in particular but it is purely meaningful, inspirational and touching. A 2007 production starring Hugh Grant (as Alex Fletcher) and Drew Barrymore (as Sophie Fisher). I love Drew Barrymore... YAY! I am gonna leave the synopsis for this one and emphasize more on the music. I really loved two of the songs really a lot. And one of them sounds like this:
Don't Write Me Off by Alex Fletcher

It's never been easy for me
To find words to go along with a melody
But this time there's actually Something on my mind
So please forgive These few brief awkward lines

Since I met you My whole life has changed
It's not just my furniture You've rearranged
I was living in the past But somehow you've brought me back
And I haven't felt like this Since before Frankie said, 'Relax'

(Chorus)
And though I know
Based on my track record
I might not seem like the safest bet
All I'm asking you
Is don't write me off just yet

For years I have been telling myself The same old story
That I'm happy to live off My so-called former glories
But you've given me a reason To take another chance
Now I need you despite the fact That you've killed all my plants

(Chorus)
And though I know
I've already blown more chances
Than anyone should ever get
All I'm asking you
Is don't write me off just yet
Is don't write me off just yet
And you know what is the next song I loved the most I suppose. It means a lot to me and is something really meaningful to me as well. And that song is Way Back Into Love.

Oh, and some interesting lines that makes me really loved this movie so much is...
Sophie: A melody is like seeing someone for the first time. The physical attraction. Sex.

Alex: I so get that.

Sophie: But then, as you get to know the person, that's the lyrics. Their story. Who they are underneath. It's the combination of two that makes it magic.
I present to you, Music and Lyrics.

I should have just caught the show regardless of what the reviewers said then. I'm a big fan of Drew Barrymore in romantic comedy. In fact, just bought Ever After, one of my all time favourites!
