Michael Bernard Fitzgerald – Reach You

My post for today is another fantastic piece from the Calgary indie/folk artist Michael Bernard Fitzgerald.  Reach You is off MBF’s most recent album The MBF Love LP, released earlier this month.  I have found that i’ve developed a significant crush on this song, mostly because I like to think that he is singing it to me.  Unfortunatly, due to our separate lives and careers, Michael and I will never be able to be together. And yet, with that sad reality, I hope you enjoy the song.  For more MBF tunes, head over to his MySpace here or check out some of our previous posts here, and here.

Once I met a girl at, at the super market
She said that she worked, worked so hard an
bagging groceries and fresh produce
I turned to her and said how can I help you?

I work my 9 to 5 and get paid nothing new
I work so hard to be rescued by you
I said baby, I mean lady pardon me miss
You can’t miss the mark if you’re not afraid to hit

I am trying to reach you baby, I am trying to reach you yeah
I am trying to reach you baby, I hope you understand
That I’m gonna be your man

Like the child I am, wanna be your friend
Wanna hold you tight, hold you through the night
Look inside to see, look inside of me
I hold you, yeah, I hold you, yeah

But you’re not here to stay, forced to be a slave
Hid out from my hand, here to be your man
Let yourself go, let yourself go, let yourself go, let yourself go

I am trying to reach you baby, I am trying to reach you yeah
I am trying to reach you baby, I hope you understand
I am trying to reach you baby, I am trying to reach you yeah
I am trying to reach you baby, I hope you understand
That I’m gonna be your man

This is my hand this is my heart of the full sky?
It could be great if you only tried
The good addition inhibtion trust your heart
And if a hurt you make a mark

This is my hand this is my heart of the full sky?
It could be great if you only tried
I am trying to reach you baby, I’m trying to reach you yeah
I am trying to reach you baby, I hope you understand

I am trying to reach you baby, I am trying to reach you yeah
I am trying to reach you baby, I hope you understand
That I’m gonna be your grocery card man
Your man, Your man, Your man.
I’m gonna be your man.
