Lyrics similar to James Blunt's "You're beautiful"?

Q. About a one sided love, when you only meet him/her once. (or few times)

A. Different sound entirely, but Dire Straits' Tunnel of Love comes to mind...

Getting crazy on the waltzers- but it's that life that I choose
Sing about the six-blade, sing about the switchblade, and a torture tattoo
And I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam
And I don't know I'll be tonight but I'd always tell you where I am

In a screaming ring of faces- I seen her standing in the light
She had a ticket for the race, hey, just like me she was a victim of the night
I put my hand upon the lever, she said let it rock and let it roll
I had the one arm bandit fever- there was an arrow through my heart and my soul

And the big wheel keep on turning- neon burning- up above
And I'm just high on the world
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
On the tunnel of love

It's just the danger (danger) when you're riding at your own risk
She said you are the perfect stranger- she said baby let's keep it like this
Its just a cakewalk, twisting baby, step right up and say
Hey mister- give me two, give me two 'cause any two can play

And the big wheel keep on turning- neon burning- up above
And I'm just high on the world
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
On the tunnel of love

Well its been money for muscle another whirligig
Money for muscle another girl I dig
Another hustle just to make it big
And rockaway rockaway

And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
Like the Spanish city to me when we where kids
Oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
Like the Spanish city to me when we where kids

She took off a silver locket she said remember me by this
She put her hand in my pocket I got a keepsake and a kiss
And in the roar of dust and diesel- I stood and watched her walk away
I could have caught up with her easy enough, but something must have made me stay

And the big wheel keep on turning- neon burning- up above
And I'm just high on the world
Come on and take a low ride with me girl
On the tunnel of love

And now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades
Searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades
In any shooting gallery where promises are made
To rockaway rockaway from culler coats and Whitley bay out to rockaway

And girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
Like the Spanish city to me when we where kids
Girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did
Like the Spanish city to me when we where kids




Also.. Take it easy (love nothing) by Bright eyes


First with your hands, then with your mouth
A downpour of sweat, damp cotton clouds
I was a fool, you were my friend
We made it happen
You took off your clothes, left on the light
You stood there so brave, you used to be shy
Each feature improved, each movement refined
And eyes like a showroom

Now they're spreading out the blankets on the beach
Oh that weatherman's a liar, he said it'd be raining
But it's clear and blue as far as I can see

Left by the lamp, right next to the bed
On a cartoon cat pad she scratched with a pen
"Everything is as it's always been,
This never happened"

"Don't take it too bad, it's nothing you did
It's just once something dies, you can't make it live
You're a beautiful boy, you're a sweet little kid
But I am a woman"

So I laid back down, wrapped myself up in the sheet
And I must have looked like a ghost 'cause something frightened me
And since then I've been so good at vanishing

Now I do as I please, and I lie through my teeth
Someone might get hurt, but it won't be me
I should probably feel cheap, but I just feel free
And a little bit empty

No it isn't so hard to get close to me
There will be no arguments, we'll always agree
And I'll try and be kind when I ask you to leave
We'll both take it easy

But if you stay too long inside my memory
I will trap you in a song tied to a melody
And I'll keep you there so you can't bother me
