Hey man (now you're really living)

<3

~

do you know what it's like to fall on the floor
cry your guts out 'til you've got no more?
hey man, now you're really living

have you ever made love to a beautiful girl
made you feel like it's not such a bad world?
hey man, now you're really living

now you're really giving everything
and you're really getting what you gave
now you're really living what this life is all about

well, I just saw the sun rise over the hill
never used to give me much of a thrill
but hey man, now I'm really living

do you know what it's like to care too much
'bout someone that you're never gonna get to touch?
hey man, now you're really living

have you ever sat down in the fresh-cut grass
and thought about the moment and when it will pass?
hey man, now you're really living

now you're really giving everything
and you're really getting all you gain
now you're really living what this life is all about


now, what would you say if I told you that
everyone thinks you're a crazy old cat?
hey man, now you're really living


do you know what it's like to fall on the floor
cry your guts out 'til you've got no more?
hey man, now you're really living

have you ever made love to a beautiful girl
made you feel like it's not such a bad world?
hey man, now you're really living

The stars shine in the sky tonight

So, I've started watching Ghost Whisperer. No, I'm not joking. And I found this beautiful song in what has to be my favourite episode so far. The episode is about four lost boys, four orphans. Three of them were killed when their orphanage took fire. One of the boys just broke my heart, he was so... Real. He wore this weird raccoon-like furry hat, and he had the most amazing smile. My heart just went out to him. Seeing as I heard this song while watching Ghost Whisperer, it made me think of death. But I kinda think it would have anyway. Or maybe... Growing up. Being afraid of growing up alone and leaving behind all the things that used to make you safe. You and your friends growing up, but not alongside each other. ...For me, I guess, it's about a lot of different things - I haven't quite figured it out yet, I need to listen to it again and again and again... But... I've got a pretty good idea... I feel so lost. I wish that you could guide me. That we could just... Walk beneath the stars and wish and be saved and safe. And I know I want to go with you. Wherever you're going. Wherever I'm going. I don't want to part.

I can't live in a world that
you have left behind
seen a lot, been through too much
but this is where I draw the line

it's not where you're coming from
it's where you're going to
and I just wanna go with you

december is a lonely month
in a year of lonely days
it's hard to tell which way is up
or down or out or through the haze

people cheat and people lie
while you just watch it all go by
counting days until you die

the stars shine in the sky tonight
like a path beyond the grave
when you wish upon that star
there's two of us you need to save

it's not where you're coming from
it's where you're going to
and I just wanna go with you
