Putting Thoughts into Words

I'm following the trend set by aforementioned friend in previous entry by sharing some lyrics with you from a song I have recently connected with.

I think musicians and songwriters are so extremely talented with the way they can use words to describe emotions in the most beautiful way. And it's incredibly awesome for me when I find a song that describes exactly what I've been feeling at any given time.

I found this little gem by Brandi Carlile accidently on iTunes one day, and haven't been able to stop listening to it since then.

before it breaks.


Around here, it's the hardest time of year
Waking up, the days are even gone
The collar of my coat
Lord help me, cannot help the cold
The raindrops sting my eyes
I keep them closed.

But I'm feelin' no pain
I'm a little lonely and my quietest friend
Have I the moonlight? Have I let you in?
Say it aint so, say I'm happy again

Say it's over, say I'm dreaming
Say I'm better than you left me
Say you're sorry, I can take it
Say you'll wait, say you won't
Say you love me, say you don't
I can make my own mistakes

Let it bend before it breaks

I'm all right.
Don't I seem to be?
Aren't I swinging on the stars?
Don't I wear them on my sleeve?
When you're looking for a crossroads,
It happens every day
And whichever way you turn,
I'm gonna turn the other way
