It's kind of a practical thing to do it this way,
I'll start drinking like the way I drank before. And I just won't have a future anymore.
It's not what you know, but what you're thinking half the time
I keep drinking the ink from my pen, and I'm balancing history books up on my head, but it all boils down to one quotable frase; if you love something, give it away!
And it all boils down to one quotable phrase... "If you love something, give it away.
And we will share a drink. Yeah we will share our fears and they will know how I love them. They will know how I love. They will know how I love them. I am nothing without their love.
The sound of loneliness makes me happier.
We've all seen the power music has to spread messages of solidarity and hope.
On good days, I can see the inherent goodness in people, and that human beings have a high capacity to learn and adapt. But things like the environment, nuclear weapons and ideas like peak oil - if you think about them too much, they can really freak you out.
And I never thought this life was possible,You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for. In polaroids you were dressed in women's clothes Were you made ashamed, why'd you lock them in a drawer? Well, I don't think that I ever loved you more Well let the poets cry themselves to sleep And all their tearful words will turn back into steam The sound of loneliness makes me happier
My head's a carousel of pictures and The spinning never stops.
Everything must belong somewhere. I know that now, that's why I'm staying here.
There's a lot of optimism in changing scenery, in seeing what's down the road.
If I loved you, well that's my fault
