Coldplay - Warning Sign

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 got to tell you what a state I’m in
I’ve got to 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
That you were an island and I passed you by
You were an island to discover

Come on in
I’ve got to tell you what a state I’m in
I’ve got to 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, no

So I crawled back into your open arms
Yes, I crawled back into your open arms
And I crawled back into your open arms
Yes, I crawled back into your open arms

Found an unused $25 iTunes gift card in an old wallet…
So far bought 2 new albums and in the process of downloading 2 more…

…bliss.

Benjamin Francis Leftwich – When You Were Young
(The Killers cover)

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now, here he comes

Doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young

Can we climb this mountain I don’t know
Higher now than ever before
I know we can make it if we take it slow
Let’s take it easy, easy now, watch it go

Burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane
That started turning when you were young
When you were young

Sometimes you close your eyes and see
The place where you used to live
When you were young

The devil’s water, it ain’t so sweet
You don’t have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch it now, here he comes

I Feel Better - Gotye

“…And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn’t really change the fact that you have what you have. Good and bad.”

— The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Morning inspiration (Taken with instagram)

“I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.”
