Kate Nash - Nicest Thing

I just discovered this song today, and it is amazing. I've been listening to it all day. It's terribly sad and beautiful. Enjoy.

"All I know is that you're so nice
You're the nicest thing I've seen
I wish that we could give it a go
See if we could be something

I wish I was your favourite girl
I wish you thought I was the reason you are in the world
I wish my smile was your favourite kind of smile
I wish the way that I dressed was your favourite kind of style
I wish you couldn't figure me out
But you always wanna know what I was about
I wish you'd hold my hand when I was upset
I wish you'd never forget the look on my face when we first met

I wish you had a favourite beauty spot that you loved secretly
'Cause it was on a hidden bit that nobody else could see
Basically, I wish that you loved me
I wish that you needed me
I wish that you knew when I said two sugars
Actually, I meant three

I wish that without me your heart would break
I wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake
I wish that without me you couldn't eat
I wish I was the last thing on your mind before you went to sleep

All I know
Is that you're the nicest thing I've ever seen
I wish that we could see
If we could be something"

-Kate Nash "Nicest Thing"

i love this song. i was listening to it as i lay in my bed with insomnia and all i could think of was how euphoric the sound and her voice blend. kate's great. have you ever listened to Mariella? it's another one of her songs, and it has a great conjunction of punkiness and beautiful prose that is very catchy.
