Things that I want:

• A dog;
• A lover;
• Travel to a place where I don't know anybody;
• Stop having high expectations;
• New clothes.

keep your head up

I spent my time watchin' the spaces that have grown between us. And I cut my mind on second best or the scars that come with the greeness. And I gave my eyes to the boredom, still the seabed wouldn't let me in, and I tried my best to embrace the darkness in which I swim. I'm walkin' back down this mountain with the strength of a turnin' tide Oh the winds so soft on my skin, The sun so hard upon my side. Oh lookin' out at this happiness, I search for between the sheets. Oh feelin' blind and realize, All I was searchin' for was me. Keep your head up, keep your heart strong. No, no, no, no. Keep your mind set, keep your hair long. Oh my darlin' keep your head up, keep your heart strong. 'Cause I'll always remember you the same, oh eyes like wild flowers, with your demons of change. I saw a friend of mine the other day, and he told me that my eyes were gleamin'. Oh I said I had been away, and he knew, oh he knew the depths I was meanin'. And it felt so good to see his face, or the comfort invested in my soul. Oh to feel the warmth of a smile, when he said "I'm happy to have you home."

Like an ancient day and I'm on trial. Let them seize the way, this once was an island and I could not stay for I believed them. Left for the lights always in season. Impassable night in a crowd of homesick fully grown children, you'll leave the lights. Your family may not wait, Sir, keep on believing our parents rue the day, they find us kneeling. Let them think what they may, for they've good reason. Left for the lights always in season.
