"Hold onto your friends", that's what he said. I guess

that his friends are not like mine. I could write a list of people

I don't miss. I'm sorry but I'm so much better off without you.

I'm trying to do something not nothing, you're trying to hold

me back and that's fine. Nothing you say or do is worth my time.

Good day to you, I respectfully decline. And now I'm coming 

stronger than ever. You say I'm a fool, I say whatever.

I'm in it for the good vibes together and the love that lasts forever.

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.

"I must be a mermaid, Rango. I have no fear of

depths and a great fear of shallow living." 

But if the hunger is still there, buried somewhere inside

covered up by the boredom we've been trying to hide, then dig

it up and devour. And it will be more like a song and less

like it's math, if you pull on my hair, and bite me like that.

This is gonna be me. Chillin with my dalmatian on the beach.

A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.

You always knew where you were going to. So sweetly

you said please come with you. The biggest fear running

through my head, you said you loved, you meant what you said.

When autumn comes, it doesn't ask. It just walks in,

where it left you last. And you never know, when it starts

until there's a fog inside the glass around your summer heart.

Turns out not where, but who you're with, that really matters.

And hurts not much when you're around, and if you hold on tight

to what you think is your thing, you may find you're missing all the rest. 

'Cause, hey you're just bleeding for nothing.

It's hard to breath when you're standing on your own.

We'll kill ourselves to find freedom, you'll kill

yourself to find anything at all. 

I feel like everyone gets the best of you

and I just get the rest of you.

I won't fight to stay when all you want for me 

to do is leave. I'm not going to miss you when you don't

miss me. I'm not going to care when you don't at all.

We are what our thoughts have made us; so care about

what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far. 

There are so many things I want to say to you, but

time's caught me up and now I'll never say them. Except that

I've loved you from the moment I saw you and every moment since.

Under the influence and still higher than you.

No, I'm not colorblind-I know the world is black and white.

I try to keep an open mind but I just can't sleep on this tonight.

Stop this train, I can't take the speed it's moving in.

I'll help you up when life gets you down. Remember to smile

and never frown.  Live life crazy with no regrets.

Never look back but never forget. 

Experience it. Enjoy it. Just don't fall for it 

Still a little bit of your song in my ear.

Still a little bit of your words I long to hear.

You step a little closer to me, so close that 

I can't see what's going on. 

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you love me all the time.

And maybe I'm afraid of the way I love you.

Maybe I'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time

and hung me on a line. Maybe I'm amazed at

the way I really need you.

Fall down seven times, stand up eight.

True love will find you in the end

you'll find out just who was your friend.

So, I will head out alone and hope for the best.

We can pat ourselves on the back and say that we tried.

And if one of us makes it big, we can spill our regrets

and talk about how the love never dies. But you and

I know the reason why I'm gone, and you're still there.

There's nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard.

Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons.

Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider

but I gotta know how it feels. I want to know if

love is wild. Babe I want to know if love is real.

One of the deep secrets of life is that all that is

really worth the doing is what we do for others.

The warmth of your love is like the warmth of the sun.

And this will be our year, took a long time to come.

But once you knew a girl and you named her lover

and danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summer.

But autumn came, she disappeared. You can't remember

where she said she was going to. 

You can't hook your boat to mine, 'cause I'm liable to sink us both. 

Don't ever part your lips instead just follow my lead.

And focus on the rhythm of my hips. Fingertips say more

than I ever could. We're always dancing on the edge

of awkward silence and regret. It's a fight with

my conscious. Your bed, my weakness. 

We fell in love with the windows rolled down,

chasing the sunset through another empty town.

Your hair was a mess when you would dance on the coast.

Your silhouette, like some heavenly ghost. 

I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our

happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions,

and not upon our circumstances.

Love, it's the wave I ride that won't ever reach the shore.

Overwhelmed by the tide but wanting nothing more.

Even if a sad time comes, I'll remain protected.

If I try real hard, I'll regain prespective.

If I look in a straight line and never look back

I'll be working on the next track. Nothing but love 

all around. Never forget, life is short to be down.

I'm in the mood and I'm feeling it now.

How come the only way to know how high you get me

is to see how far I fall? God only knows how much I'd

love you if you let me, but I can't break through at all.

How many times have we slept side by side but a thousand miles apart?

And how many times have we thought we could finish something

we could never even start? How many times have I said I love you

and I hate you in the same breath? And how many times have

we tried to grab something when there was nothing left?

And there could be no other way, 'cause you're so lame.

Your tired words are all, they're all the same.

Yeah I would walk and I'd surely walk away if

I wasn't such a sucker for you. Sometimes,

I wish that I was a bong hit. You'd let me in

and you would love every minute. And

tell the room the things I did to you.

I learned a lesson from it though.

You never see it coming you just get to see it go.

Hey, look at the way i believed in you and loved you all these years.

Now you can fill a swimming pool with all my salty tears.

You could have told me what was in your heart, but baby, you lied.

There are moments of such pure, sublime, unparalleled perfection

that they will force you to close your eyes and hold onto them

as best you can. Life is a series of these moments.

Everything else is just waiting for them.

Life is great. Don't let circumstances and society

fool you into thinking that it's not.

For everyone there's a person, a place, or at time

that brings you back and makes you feel alive. 

For the past 20 years you have raised me to be a good person.

To make good decisions and to be responsible with my life.

For the past 20 years I have lived under your rule with

minimal problems and complications. I am greatly appreciative for 

everything you ever given me, and even if I don't always show it.

But this is my life now. I'm old enough to know what's good

and what's bad for me. Let me be the person you've raised me to be.

Your job as parents is over. Start being my allies instead of my enemies. 

I don't know why I'm scared, I've been here before

every feeling, every word, I've imagined it all.

You never know if you never try to forgive your past

and simply be mine. I dare you to let me be your,

your one and only. Promise I'm worth to hold in

your arms so come on and give me the  chance

to prove that I'm the one who can walk that

mile until the end starts.

You're the only one I wish I could forget. The

only one I love to not forgive. And though you

break my heart, you're the only one 

and though there are times when I hate you

'cause I can't erase the times that you hurt me

and put tears to my face. And even now, while

I hate you, it pains me to say I know I'll be there

at the end of the day.

Nothing makes a person more productive than the last minute.

Standing on the moon with nothing left to do.

A lovely view of heaven, but I'd rather be with you.

Just when I felt like giving up on us, you turn around

and give me one last touch that made everything feel better.

And even then my eyes got wetter so confused, wanna ask

you if you love me but I don't wanna seem so weak.

No explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can

touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in

that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant.

You think you're better than me. I get it.

Give it a fucking rest already. 

I wanna leave my footprints on the sands to time.

Know there was something that and something that I

left behind. When I leave this world I'll leave no regrets.

Leave something to remember so they won't forget, I was here.

I lived, I loved. I was here. I did, I've done, everything that

I wanted and it was more than I thought it would be. I

will leave my mark so everyone will know I was here. 

I wanna say I lived each day until I die. And know that I 

meant something in somebody's life. The hearts I have

touched, will be the proof that I leave, that I made a difference

and this world will see I was here. I just want them to know that I

gave my all, did my best, brought someone to happiness.

Left this world a little better just because I was here.

(obsessed with this song)

Discussin' life and all our common goals, 

smart kids that smoke weed, honor role.

Maybe we reached the mountain peak and

there's no more left to climb. And maybe

we lost the magic piece and we're both too blind to find.

Being high is one of the most pleasant sensations available to mankind.

Every day is Saturday. It is to be like a child' to perceive events with clarity;

to look into the gates of paradise; to completely enjoy whatever

you might be doing; to smile so hard that your jaw muscles get tired.

Being high is to laugh at the silliest things; to understand things

that have seemed absurd before; to have the aloofness of a cat;

to afford a kinship with God. To be intoxicated with marijuana makes

every superlative seem within your grasp. Being high make

life seem terribly good. Being high is simply grand. 

(Wadd up 10th grade)

Every day I am grateful that I learned an

open heart is a happy heart. 

Sometimes I'm terrified of my heart, of its

constant hunger for whatever it is it wants,

the way it stops and starts.

When my days look low, pull me in close and 

don't let me go. Make love to me. So that when

the worlds at war, that our love heal us all. 

Well, you know I've been lonesome. God knows we've all been

lonesome. Some people think being lonesome really means being free. 

So cry if you need to, but I can't stay to watch you. 

Goodbye my love, into your blue, blue, eyes.

The human body essentially recreates itself every six months.

Nearly every cell of hair and skin and bone dies and another is

directed to its former place. You are not who you were last November.

Even people I’ve known for so long soon become strangers to me.

People change and grow tired of having you in their life.

I’m my own best friend. It’s sad, but it is what it is.

This is fish number six hundred and forty-one in a lifetime of goldfish.

My parents bought me the first one to teach me about loving and caring

for another living, breathing creature of God. Six hundred and forty fish

later, and the only thing I know is everything you love will die.

The first time you meet that someone special, you can count

on them one day being dead and in the ground.

I wish I had a thousand words for love, but all that comes to mind

is the way you move against me while you sleep.

And there are no words for that.

I don't like to be unhappy

and I don't like it when people try to bring their bad mood on me. 

I'm loving how I'm living and so excuse me when I don't give a damn.
