I hope this old train breaks down
Then I could take a walk around

And see what there is to see
And time is just a melody

All the people in the street
walk as fast as their feet can take them

I just roll through town
And though my windows got a view

the frame I’m looking through
seems to have no concern for now

.
So for now

.

.

I. need. this
old train to breakdown

Oh,

please

just

.let me.

..please breakdown..

Breakdown – Jack Johnson

To pay or not to pay that is the question
It refused to stay, as it all turned gray
Oh, William Shakespeare’s receding hair

Please excuse the pun
It’s hair today, gone tomorrow
So be thankful for what precious locks you have

To pay or not to pay that is the question
And by the way I just gotta say
Thank the Lord, I’m not going bald

And if I may quip
My curls and I are just like heaven
‘Cause rest assured, there’ll be no parting there

But should my head get bare
Like Friar Tuck or heart chased a swallow
It makes me smile ’cause I know just what I’d do

Yeah, if I had more wigs than I knew what to do with
I’d open a second hand store
And if you ever went bald, you’d recall it
‘Cause I’d cleverly call it, ‘Rugs From Me To You’

Oh, I love this song by Owl City! The lyric is hilarious. I don’t know what got him into writing such a lyric, but it makes me laugh! It’s a cheerful song, too.

I think it’s not only Adam Young, I too like to think of the what if, lots and lots of it. What if I don’t get.. What If I can’t.. What if I won’t ever.. But this song has taught me to lessen the fear and the worry. Look how he quickly develops from questioning the probability of going bald and then conforming himself that he will never lose his hair to the decision of what he’s gonna do if his head should get bare someday.

This song with its taking a problem easily, it soothes me. It makes me at ease. Sure, several things should be taken seriously. But I’m a “feeling person” and I feel something intensely. It helps me to let go of things and just laugh at sh*ts because you know, sh*t happens and laughing at it would make it no big deal.

And as Rick Warren said:

If you learn to laugh at yourself, you will never run out of funny material.

Why so serious? :D

When I was in the supermarket today, I was about to take my shopping basket to the checkout when suddenly they played the Owl City’s Vanilla Twilight. So I decided to stayed a bit longer, just to hear the whole song.

So, I ask myself what my other ‘Vanilla Twilight’ songs, songs that will make me stop and listen. It’s not my most fave of all time, but here are 3 of them :

Vanilla Twilight
Owl City

The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

‘Cause I’ll doze off safe and soundly
But I’ll miss your arms around me
I’d send a postcard to you, dear
‘Cause I wish you were here

I’ll watch the night turn light-blue
But it’s not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly

The silence isn’t so bad
‘Til I look at my hands and feel sad
‘Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly

I’ll find repose in new ways
Though I haven’t slept in two days
‘Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilight
I’ll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don’t feel so alone

I don’t feel so alone, I don’t feel so alone

As many times as I blink
I’ll think of you tonight
I’ll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I’ll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I’ll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won’t forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I’d whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here

Warning Sign
Coldplay

A warning sign,
I missed the good part then I realized,
I started looking and the bubble burst.
I started looking for excuses.

Come on in,
I’ve gotta tell you what a state I’m in,
I’ve gotta tell you in my loudest tones,
That I started looking for a warning sign.

When the truth is,
I miss you.
Yeah the truth is,
That I miss you so.

A warning sign,
You came back to haunt me and I realized
you were an island and I passed you by,
You were an island to discover.

Come on in,
I’ve gotta tell you what state I’m in,
I’ve gotta tell you in my loudest tones,
That I started looking for a warning sign.

When the truth is,
I miss you.
Yeah the truth is,
That I miss you so.

And I’m tired,
I should not have let you go.

So I crawl back into your open arms.
Yes, I crawl back into your open arms.
And I crawl back into your open arms.
Yes, I crawl back into your open arms…

Anyone Else But You
The Moldy Peaches

You’re a part time lover and a full time friend
The monkey on you’re back is the latest trend
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of a train
I kiss you all starry eyed, my body’s swinging from side to side
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Here is the church and here is the steeple
We sure are cute for two ugly people
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

The pebbles forgive me, the trees forgive me
So why can’t, you forgive me?
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

I will find my nitch in your car
With my mp3 DVD rumple-packed guitar
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu du

Up up down down left right left right B A start
Just because we use cheats doesn’t mean we’re not smart
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

You are always trying to keep it real
I’m in love with how you feel
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

We both have shiny happy fits of rage
You want more fans, I want more stage
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Don Quixote was a steel driving man
My name is Adam I’m your biggest fan
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Squinched up your face and did a dance
You shook a little turd out of the bottom of your pants
I don’t see what anyone can see, in anyone else
But you

Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu du
But you
