and i've never felt more perfect
or intune with the city
with my friends
with the cops on the corner
We are earthquakes, we are tidal waves.
We're destruction at its finest, yeah.
we are lava in the cave.
We feed on the irony, we drink hypocrisy.
We are everything we hate,
but we have everything we need.
There's nothing like the deep breaths after laughing that hard.
Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons.
We live in a crazy world, and if you want to get through it with your body and soul even a little bit intact, you might as well be crazy yourself. It couldn't hurt. And it just might help.

I disregard the proportions, the measures, the tempo of the ordinary world. I refuse to live in the ordinary world as ordinary women. To enter ordinary relationships. I want ecstasy
lead me on, tease me all night long. i'd rather be a fool with a broken heart than someone who never had a part of you
oh god it's wonderful to get out of bed and drink too much coffee and smoke too many cigarettes and love you so much

you always deserve to be the most important person in somebody's life
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower,
makes you talk a little lower
about the things you could not show him.
And it's been a long December
and there's reason to believe,
maybe this year will be better than the last.
- Counting Crows
you can't go through life thinking everyone
you meet will one day let you down.
-Angel's in the Outfield
"Sometimes you have to be a bitch to get things done."
-Madonna
"If you can't laugh at yourself, life is going to
seem a whole lot longer than you'd like."
-Garden State
"I love people who make me laugh. I honestly
think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures
a multitude of ills. It's probably the most
important thing in a person."
-Audrey Hepburn
There's always that one person, no matter how long it's been or how badly
they've treated you, if they say "I love you", you will always say it back.
Life doesn't give you the people you want.
It gives you the people you need;
to help you, to hurt you, to love you,
to leave you, and to make you into
the person you were meant to be.

"My theory is that if you look confident you can pull off
anything - even if you have no clue what you're doing."
-- Jessica Alba
You blew up the world I built for us
Destroyed our secret universe
Threw out the trust I put in you
Making me feel like I'd been used
drive all night with me,
sing my favorite song and sleep,
under the stars on the hood of our car,
it's all i've ever wanted.
they think we're lovers, kept under covers.
I just ignore it, but they keep saying.
we laugh just a little too loud.
we stand just a little too close.
we stare just a little too long.

The sky looked like a watercolor wash a hot-pink-orange sunset. And maybe I should have told you how I felt but I never thought you would believe it. I figure it is too late now, and it's sad to think about.
the hardest work he's done on his big career is a fifth of whiskey and a case of beer.
i'm searching for my blue jeans on a stranger's bedroom floor. shouldn't i feel guilty? well, i don't feel a thing. i'd wake her up and say goodbye, but i can't recall her name.
we met underneath the blue skies of summer and those summer skies turn into fall, that sweet september wind made us so much more than friends.
and it just feels good when you're waking up, and it just feels good when you're next to me, and it just feels good when you're coming home, and it just feels good when you're waking up my slumbering heart.

I took your hand while you decided what to do
The only kiss, I ever miss, I shared with you
The other cities hold a memory still of a place
But, when I dream of London, I can only see your face
I want you
Or no one
No one else will do
You, or no one
No one is the only one
To fill the empty space I hold for you
don't you know i miss it,
and i wonder if you miss it too .
never thought it would end til it did,
now i'm here and i can't stop thinking about you .
i think about you in the summertime,
and all the good times we had, baby,
been a few years and i can't deny,
the thought of you still makes me crazy.
i think about you in the summertime,
i'm sitting here in the sun with you on my mind,
you're my summertime.
So, I will head out alone and hope for the best
And we can hang our heads down
As we skip the goodbyes
And you can tell the world what you want them to hear
I've got nothing left to lose, my dear
So, I'm up for the little white lies
But you and I know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there

no such thing - john mayer
i'm not gonna cry - corey smith
here's to the night - eve 6
brat pack - the rocket summer
time of your life - green day
These years have passed us by
So fast it seems like we never got the chance
To realize how good life really was
And let the moment last
And it feels like it was only yesterday
When we walked into this place
And said I can't wait till I get out of here
And now as we walk down this aisle
With four years all rolled up in a scroll
You can't help but think
Hey, Where did the time go
-the graduation song x DMB.
yeah and it's over before you know it. it all goes by so fast. yeah, the bad nights take forever, and the good nights don't ever seem to last. wherever you walk tonight, i wish you the best of everything. in the world. and honey, i hope you found whatever you were looking for.

but you, have a smile i haven't seen around
lately you're as dark as this town
and i know it seems like nothing changes
days go by and we just age
well, killing time can feel so right
in your bedroom without the lights
let's get old together
make promises and lie but never
let this city get the best of us
grow apart from the things we love
we captured all the fireflies and knew what time we had
Could be counted on our fingertips and that almost made you cry

It's funny how the best things happen sometimes
And how I'll always remember those endless nights
But don't forget I regret the fact that I have to leave you
Right as the best part starts
So I thought I'd take the time to say
That I've been waiting for you
If I could tell you one thing
Then I'd tell you everything
I'd probably say that you've been on my mind
Since we held hands out in the rain
Smoking cigarettes to play
Off all the butterflies I had inside
when you're walking downtown
do you wish i was there?
do you wish it was me?
with the windows clear
and the mannequins' eyes
do they all look like mine?
and i was standing on the side of the road, rain falling on my shoes, heading out for the east coast. lord knows i've paid some dues getting through, tangled up in blues.
so i'm just slurring in the shade when the daylight breaks, and you and me have got it made. yeah, i think you and me have got it made.
Went across the border at daybreak, sleeping out beneath the stars, but cheap drugs and last year's heartaches are turning into prison bars, and before you really know it, that money you saved is gone. You've got a pocket of rocks and you never detoxed and you're coming back home at dawn. Me and Jones were looking for something, but what it was, we never knew. Jones was broke and strung out, trying to keep from coming unglued. And as for me, I was chasing shadows, trying to reclaim something true, and for a night I think I found it, there in canyon solitude.
i'm leaving this place, but there's nothing i'm planning to take.. just you, just you, just you, just you.

So this is when we finally learn the real meaning of change. You do the things you used to be against, you date the people you thought you never would, & you befriend the people you used to hate. You'll learn what it's like to have your heart broken, to lose a friend that truly meant something to you, & to feel as if everything is really falling apart. There will be times that your life seems so absolutely horrible it feels like it's not real. Despite all this, good things will come too. You'll make the most amazing friends that will be there for you even when they probably shouldn't. Your broken heart will heal once you find the most perfect guy you've ever met, & just as nothing else can go wrong, things will only get better. There will be the days you are so happy, & the days that you feel like dying. Drama happens, gossip goes around, & people talk shit. Maybe this is just school, maybe it's life, or maybe this is just what growing up is.
Life is about smiling, laughing, and crying. Life is about making the most of what you have, and what you`ve been given. It`s about keeping relationships and losing them. Life is about falling in love and losing someone you do love. Life was given to us as a challenge. life isn't a destination - it's a journey. we all come upon unexpected curves and turning points - everything that happens to us shapes who we are becoming, and in the adventure of each day, we discover the important things in life and why they are important. It`s not easy but you have to try and meet that challenge and make the most of it while you can because you don`t actually know when it will be your turn to lay down to rest. You only have one shot at life, so make sure you take it with both hands and sqeeze every little drop out of it..
Life's just like a treadmill. No matter how fast you go or how hard you try, you'll sometimes never get anywhere. It's like riding a fast rollercoaster blindfolded. There will be ups and downs, & you won't know when there will be sharp turns.. you won't even know when it'll end. Life's like a book. Every page is a mystery, but you're the one in charge of the pen. When things go wrong, life is like an hour glass. Sooner or later the sand hits rock bottom, but all you have to do is be patient & wait for someone to just turn everything around. It's like walking in the snow. Be careful with the steps you take because every footprint will show. Making a mistake doesn't matter; what matters is how determined you are to fix it. But remember, a mistake is like writing on a foggy window.. no matter how hard you try to cover it up, if you look close enough.. it's still there.
There are some things from our college experiences that we will carry for the rest of our lives. And, some memories that we choose to forget. But, when we look back at those experiences, we`ll see our friends; the ones who have got us through everything and we`ll realize how lucky we are to have them.
you'll never remember class time, but you'll remember time hanging out with your friends. so stay out late, go out on a tuesday night when you have a paper due wednesday. spend money you dont have & drink until the sunrise. the work never ends, but college does.
waste your time with friends--live for the moment, laugh often, be immature, do anything n everything. if its something you'll regret in the morning, sleep late n when u wake up, laugh about it with your friends because your friends are what matter most. when you have your friends, you have everything.
in my lifetime i've come to realize that you can't depend upon other people for what you want, & you can't be scared to go out there & get it. you have to dream hard, wish big, & chase after your goals, cause no one else is going to do it for you. & even if things don't work out, you'll always be able to say you tried
We live lives packed with pop culture, underground lifestyles and questions of exactly where the border is. we travel down a packed interstate full of windy turns, off-ramps for no reason, and horrific collisions. no matter where you go there's always going to be someone trying to put out your flame, someone trying to tear you down. but as long as you keep shining, nothing else really matters. stand up for what you believe in, despite how much persecution you may have to go through. no matter what scene you may belong to, or whatever type of music you enjoy listening to, just be true to yourself. forget about what other think. in a world ready to tear apart your every move. it may be hard to keep on pushing through, but really, what else is there we can do. shine bright for yourself, hold strong for your beliefs no matter how much you may bleed along the way.
"I've heard that it's possible to grow up - I've just never met anyone who's actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don't go our way, we whisper secrets with our best friends in the dark, we look for comfort where we can find it, and we hope - against all logic, against all experience. Like children, we never give up hope... "
The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past and recognize that everyday wont be sunny. And when you find yourself lost in the darkness of despair, remember its only in the black of night that you see the stars. And those stars see you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes to stumble and fall because most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you'll get more then you could ever have imagined. Who know where life will take you. The road is long, and in the end, the journey is the destination.
Maybe we're not suppose to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is; appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes to simply be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. & maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.
Life is like a work of art, you got to paint it colorful. You can make it anything you want, dont have to stick to any rules. You dont need a high IQ, to suceed in what you do. You just got to have no doubt, Just believe in yourself
college is about making mistakes you can't fix. making memories you either won't remember or will never forget and making friends that will teach you more than any professor ever could
twenty years from now i am going to look back and remember that you were that one person who could turn every frown to a smile in a few simple words. that one person who lifted my head when i was losing faith in myself. that one person who carried tears on her shoulders after every fight, every breakup, every death. that one person who always knew what i was feeling by the look on my face when everyone else laughed in my face. that one person that accepted every decision i made believing that i`d make the right decision. that one person who knew who i really was, that one person that made the biggest difference in my life ;; BF.

while looking through your old box of notes
i found those pictures i took that you were
looking for if there's one memory i don't
want to lose that time at the mall,
you and me in the dressing room
i told myself i won't miss you but
i remember what it feels like beside you
i really miss your hair in my face and the
way your innocence tastes and
i think you should know this
you deserve much better than me
the bed i'm lying in is getting colder
wish i never would've said it's over and
i can't pretend i won't think about you when
i'm older cause we never really had our closure
this can't be the end.
Sometimes apologies don't
mean a thing,
like four in the morning
when you're in bed sleeping.
You don't need a phone conversation
to wake you up to bring you down
'Cause when it's over, we both know

And it's not okay; I made dinner here for two
And it's not okay; I've got candles lit for you
And it's not okay; I've got your favorite records out
And it's not okay; you should already be in route
To me
Am I wasting my time with these feelings?
Pressure's off now so I'm back on the ground.
Too bad, I kind of liked it in the clouds with you.
Because you take me away from everything and everyone,
that's held me back for so long.
Heaven for a few days.
Makes up for all the hell that life's dealt me, even now that's gone
Somewhere between an excuse and a lie you found something that you believe.
So proud, I guess I can't imagine why.
well, you're not brave if you still keep the letters
and you're not sane if you don't want to get better
and you're not drunk if you can stay in your lane, no
well, you're not awake, but you haven't been sleeping
and you hate god, but you don't believe in him
and you're not scared, but you've still got your eyes closed
i want you to worry when i don't call you back
I've tried and tried to tell you this.
You're just the breath in between the kiss I'll share with someone special.
You're just the water in my lungs.
I'm just a raindrop on your tongue.
And I'm so sorry.
You said my heart sounded like a payphone in the rain.
Distorted, distant, scrambled and desperate.
Baby, I swear to god tonight I am sober.
It's the reception between us that's failing.
And besides you're probably holding hands
With some skinny, pretty girl that likes to
talk about bands and ,
all I wana do is ride bikes with you.
And stay up late and watch cartoons.
And its not a party,
If it happens every night.
I'm running on empty,
Your running out of luck.
So lets ditch this city,
Before we sober up.

it's not as if new york city
burned down to the ground
once you drove away,
it's not as if the sun won't shine
when clouds up above
wash the blues away.
Take me back to the creek beds we turned up Two A.M. riding in your truck and all I need is you next to me Take me back to the time we had our very first fight The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight You stayed outside till the morning light

wake up naked, drinking coffee.
making plans to change the world,
while the world is changing us..
it was a good, goood love.
you used to laugh under the covers,
maybe not so often now.
but the way i used to laugh with you,
was loud & hard.
There are some things I can hardly say,
You've got me feeling a brand new way,
Please don't let this be summerlong.
you loved it so much in the city
you know i could not stand it there
you liked to get lost in the people
and pretend that they really care
well you know you're such a bad imposter
hiding your wings beneath your coat
'cause i watched your footprints making patterns
away from me into the snow
I swear she been through a lot
So I put her car in park
and never let her cry alone
I listen to her heart beat
cause it plays my favorite song
and i loved you in bright orange,
and in violet and in green,
and i loved you in such colors
that your eyes have never seen
and i loved the way you acted
but your one-trick pony's dead
and i loved you, unprotected
but you only love in red
i thought i'd write, i thought i'd let you know
in the year since you've been gone, i've finally
let you go; & i hope you find some time to
drop a note - but if you won't, then you won't
and i will consider you gone.

sunday shoes, cap and gown
the whole town gathered around
waited 18 years now it's all coming down to this.
i scanned the crowd and it fills my soul
my best friends all here in rows
no turning back, now it's time to walk that line
this tassel is gonna turn
but when the moment passes by
we'll just walk away
then slowly grow apart
& i've got you on my mind seems like almost always, all the time. and it's soft, secure, and fun in the fading summer sunlight. and your hands on the wall, off the edge of the bed, said all that needed to be said. your body beneath me, rising and sinking. we'll never leave again, this is all we are, and all we ever need
you're half-dressed and star-struck, will they pull you out? will they bring you back? we both know what's coming, you aren't the first, you won't be the last so take it all off for them, take it all off for them. i swear, they'll like it. i'm listening to what they say feeling less and less okay but it's the same old story.
how do i fix my head?
there's a bottle on the dresser by your ring,
and it’s empty so right now i don't feel a thing.
i'll be hurting when i wake up on the floor,
and i'll be over it by noon,
and that’s the difference between the whiskey and you.

i guess you get used to somebody,
kinda like having them around.
i guess you get used to the way they make you happy,
bring you up when you're feeling down.
i never dreamed when i was letting you go that
i would wake up and miss you this much.
i guess you get used to somebody,
i guess you get used to being loved.
under one umbrella,
just talking and joking.
and i knew that i'd love you
for as long as you'd let me,
and i haven't caught my breath
since the moment that we met.

Stay and watch the stars come out and then the sun as they all fade away . I'll sing you every song I know if it will make you want to stay . And then I'll say that I missed you.
I thought my heart was bulletproof
and now i'm dancing on the roof,
and everybody knows i'm into you.

we'll hit tulsa by tuesday,
follow the stars above.
spend the weekend in vegas
and gamble on sweet, sweet love.
it don't matter what we do,
as long as i'm with you.
let's disappear, gotta jet out of here,
feel the wind across our face.
we'll have some fun, gonna dance on the run
it's a perfect day to break away.
quit my job, flipped off the boss,
took my name of the payroll.
picked up my cell, rang my baby's bell,
said, 'i'm three miles from home.'
i said, 'sugar, why don't you put on
that sundress i like so much?
wait out by the road,
i'm comin' to pick you up.'
throw your suitcase in the back,
done gassed up the pontiac,
blastin' out to johnny cash,
headin' for the highway,
baby, we ain't ever comin' back.
we come here with nothing,
and take it with us the day we leave.
the first and last breath don't matter,
it's all the ones that are in between.
it's the reason for living,
it's the reason the caged bird sings.
it's why we sit in the movies,
all the way to the closing scene.
got a good friend, kinda crazy.
i meet him down at the old hotel,
and we laugh some, drink some cold ones.
and we both got stories to tell.
but when i mention her, how it still hurts,
i say, 'i think i'm gonna call it a night.'
i've still got yesterday, running wild. yesterday, when i close my eyes i drift away back where i come from. yesterday, when we had our dreams. yesterday, loud and free, i steal away and find that summer sun. today may not be fair and tomorrow may not be there, but i've still got yesterday.

So once again, we wind up in each other’s arms,
Pretending that it’s right.
I may hate myself in the morning,
But I’m gonna love you tonight.
