39. QUOTE A SONG LYRIC THAT SUMS UP YOUR YEAR.

I have 2, both by Jem:

Save me:
Save me save me save me wooh

I've gotta stop my mind
Working overtime
It's driving me insane
It will not let me live
Always so negative
It's become my enemy

Save me ah ah save me ah ah
save me ah wooh
Save me ah ah save me ah ah
save me ah wooh

Why would I think such things
Crazy thoughts have quick wings
Gaining momentum fast
One minute I am fine
The next I've lost my mind
To a fake fantasy

And none of these
thoughts are real
So why is it that I feel
So cut up and so bad
I need to take control
Coz my mind is on a roll
And it isn't listening to me

Save me ah ah save me ah ah
save me ah wooh
[thinking and thinking]
Save me ah ah save me ah ah
save me ah wooh
[thinking and thinking]

Mirror mirror on the wall
Who's the dumbest of them all
Insecurities keep growing
Wasted energies are flowing
Anger, pain and sadness beckon
Panic sets in in a second
Be aware it's just your mind
And you can stop it anytime

Save me ah ah save me ah ah
save me ah wooh
[thinking and thinking]
Save me ah ah save me ah ah
save me ah wooh
[thinking and thinking]

Ok so here we go
If it works I'll let you know
One two three I say stop

Just a ride

Life, it's ever so strange
It's so full of change
Think that you've worked it out
then BANG
Right out of the blue
Something happens to you
To throw you off course
and then you

Breakdown
Yeah you breakdown
Well don't you breakdown
Listen to me
Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
no need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you round and round
Sometimes you're up
sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
don't be scared
don't hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
but don't forget it's just a ride

Truth, we don't wanna hear
It's too much to take
Don't like to feel out of control
So we make our plans
Ten times a day
And when they don't go
our way we

Breakdown
Yeah we breakdown
Well don't you breakdown
Listen to me
Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
no need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you round and round
Sometimes you're up
sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
don't be scared
don't hide your eyes
It may feel so real inside
but don't forget it's just a ride

Slowly, oh so very slowly
accept that
there's no getting off
So live it, just gotta go with it
coz this ride's, never gonna stop

Breakdown
Don't you breakdown
No need to breakdown
No need at all
Because

It's just a ride, it's just a ride
no need to run, no need to hide
It'll take you all around
Sometimes you're up
sometimes you're down
It's just a ride, it's just a ride
don't be scared now
dry your eyes
It may feel so real inside
but don't forget enjoy the ride

Men. In general.

Please do not condemn the entire gender. It's just the rotten 95% that give we 5% a bad name. ;-)

Wow!

[ithisia.livejournal.com]

Men are good, honest! I just like them too much :X

Dunno...men are ok. It's the boys I can do without.

Re: Wow!

[princekermit.livejournal.com]

Of course. Ever since you friended me.

Did you doubt my interest or my ability? ;-)

Re: Wow!

[ithisia.livejournal.com]

I just didn't ever get a comment from you, though I forget a lot of folks lurk.

:)

Ability in what? That is the question.

Re: Wow!

[ithisia.livejournal.com]

Or...
More over, it's amazing that folks do read my LJ.
I like to know that there is someone out there. Listening.
You know?

Yeah.

Re: Wow!

[princekermit.livejournal.com]

Only been on your FL for a short while, darlin.

And ability to read, smartass (makes kissy noises). Everything else is up for debate and/or research.

Re: Wow!

[princekermit.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is a good feeling to know that you're being read. Especially when something I write sparks other people's imaginations and spreads. Like memes, only better.

[(Anonymous)]

Agreed!

*is still blissful*

Yay for intelligent, kind, and loving men-folk.

I read your journal. I don't have time to comment terribly often anymore, but I use the time I do have to stay caught up.
