Dying.


I'm dying to die just to come back, so we can meet again
I'm dying to say what I always should have said
It's a strange emotion this, but there's still hope in this
As long as there's a breath..

I'm dying and I can't live without you
I'm dying and I can't live without you again

January 8.



And still I dream she'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed..

Take me back to the start..

Come up to meet you, tell you I'm sorry
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart

Tell me your secrets and ask me your questions
Oh, let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start

Wildflower.

She's faced the hardest times you could imagine,
And many times her eyes fought back the tears.
And when her youthful world was about to fall in,
Each time her slender shoulders bore the weight of all her fears,
And her sorrow no one hears, still rings in midnight silence,
In her ears...

And if by chance that I should hold her,
Let me hold her for a time.
But if allowed just one possession,
I would pick her from the garden, to be mine.

Be careful how you touch her, for she will waken,
And sleep's the only freedom that she knows.
And when you walk into her eyes, you won't believe,
The way she's always paying for a debt she never owed,
And the silent wind still blows, that only she can hear,
And so, she goes...

Let her cry, for she's a Lady,
Let her dream, for she's a Child,
Let the rain fall down upon her,
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild.

Do you think that so many will love you?

Guido, sai che ti voglio bene figliolo mio.
Guido, do you think that so many will love you, as I do?

Friends, lovers, or nothing.

Friends, lovers, or nothing
We can really only ever be one
Friends, lovers, or nothing
Don't you know
We'll never be the in-between
So give it up

Anything other than yes is no
Anything other than stay is go
Anything less than I love you is lying

A bad dream.

I wake up, it's a bad dream, no one on my side
I was fighting, but I just feel too tired to be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting kind

Wouldn't mind it, if you were by my side
But you're long gone, you're long gone now..

Lies.

The little cracks they escalated
And before you know it was too late
For making circles and telling lies

You're moving too fast for me
And I can't keep up with you
Maybe if you slowed down for me
I could see you're only telling
Lies, lies, lies
Breaking us down with your
Lies, lies, lies
When will you learn?

Stop this train.

Stop this train
I want to get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
Cause now I see I'll never stop this train.

More than just a car.

Quoting Jeremy Clarkson's view on cars from Times Online:

"We do not buy cars like we buy dishwashers and toasters. It’s not a decision made on cost or practicality and it certainly has nothing to do with the environment. Otherwise everyone would have a Hyundai Accent with a three-cylinder diesel engine. Or a bus pass.

The reason we don’t is that cars, here, are status symbols, they are penis substitutes, they are cherished members of the family, they are heart-starters, they are art, they are sex, they are glamorous, they are cool, they are something you probably don’t need. But, my God, you want one so badly that it hurts. Giving up your car is like giving up an emotion. It’s like giving up love, or happiness. And that’s why people will sell their children before they’ll sell their wheels".

I wonder.

I wonder to myself how on earth I ended up here. I decide not to think too hard about it in case someone realizes there's been a mistake.

In the wee small hours of the morning.

In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake thinking of the girl
Never even think of counting sheep

While the whole wide world has learned it's lesson
She'd be yours if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
It's the time I miss her most of all
