Drove to your house in the hills
Where I wanted to be
The lights were all on
And I knew you were waiting for me
And that road became familiar
Like the mystery shape of your heart

CHORUS
And I know you loved me in your way
I’m looking forward to looking back on these days
And I’m fine but I’m not okay
I’m looking forward to looking back on these days

The fog in the morning clouded the world that we knew
It was almost enough being lonely and living for you
And the rain came to our window
And I wish I could have stayed

CHORUS

Let it go
Let it go sunshine
Now you know
Now you know its time
Its time

You were asleep while I gathered my things in the dark
The burns on my fingers were all that was left of the spark
Didn’t want to wake you
Cause I knew I couldn’t say

CHORUS

I’m looking forward to looking back on these days

*** Ring ***
FV: Hello?
CP: Hello.
FV: O Kumusta?
CP: Ok lang…BAT MO SINAGOT?!?!
FV: Ano? Bat ka tumawag?
CP: Wala gusto ko lang…Pero dapat di mo sinagot…
FV: Eh ano ba talagang gusto mo? (Nainis na ata)
CP: Kahit ano…
Nagkuwentuhan pa sila at nagpaalaman na.

Tapos iiyak-iyak. Parang tanga. Nababaliw na talaga siya.

O inaatake lang ng PMS…

I was watching (kind of) A Walk To Remember yesterday and Only Hope started playing and I just had to stop what I was doing and listened. I’ve seen the movie before but I guess I wasn’t paying much attention to the soundtrack so I missed this. I liked Mandy Moore’s version of Only Hope but the original by Switchfoot had me this time; I couldn’t stop listening to it. The instrumental (is that what you call it?) is beautiful and the voice of a man is more natural for the song.

I also love Switchfoot’s Dare You To Move. When you’re at rock-bottom it helps to have something that pushes you up without the pretensions of understanding and the process of justifying yourself. It gets tiring and sometimes you just have to be alone with your thoughts. I learned that I don’t owe anyone. I only owe myself.

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

Teka. Seryoso much? hahaha. If you feel like listening, I have the 2 songs in our music corner. Enjoy

Duon ako sa left-hand side nanlulunod ng pinsan.

Hahaha. Saya saya. It’s funny how I used to look at these photos and I would be sad, even cry during my first year here in NJ. Now I have a big, goofy smile on my face and I feel all warm and fuzzy. I had a great childhood and many great people were in it. xoxo
