Listening to Regina...


"On the Radio"
This is how it works
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath
No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again

Current lyrics of my life:

"O' Sailor" - Fiona Apple

I'm undecided about you again
Mightn't be right that you're not here
It's double-sided, ause I ruined it all
But also saved myself by never believing you, Dear

Everything good I deem too good to be true
Everything else is just a bore
Everything I have to look forward to
Has a pretty painful and very imposing before

O' Sailor, why'd you do it?
What'd you do that for?
Sayin' there's nothing to it
And then letting it go by the boards

And after waiting, fighting patiently on my knees
All that other stuff tired itself out first
Not me
And in its wake appeared the touch and call of a different breed
One who set to get me wise and got me there
And then got me

And what a thing, to know what could be instead
Oh, what a blessed curse to see
Took the agenda from its place in my bed
Made a merry paramour of me

O' Sailor, why'd you do it?
What'd you do that for?
Saying there's nothing to it
And then letting it go by the boards

O' Sailor, why'd you do it?
What'd you do that for?
Giving me eyes to view it
And then letting it go by the boards
