It's been awhile ... Here are some new favorites ... :)
Keep drinking coffee, staring me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I'd say if only I were able,
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by
You've got opinions, man
We're all entitled to 'em, but I never asked
So let me thank you for your time,
Try not to waste anymore of mine
Get out of here fast
I hate to break it to you babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to say
Who cares if you disagree?
You are not me,
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be,
Who died and made you king of anything?
-"King of Anything" by Sara Bareilles
"I finally learned that there lay within me an invincible summer."
-Albert Camus
All the things I still remember
Summers never looked the same
Years go by and time just seems to fly
But the memories remain
In the middle of September
We'd still play out in the rain
Nothing to lose but everything to gain
Reflecting now on how things could've been
It was worth it in the end
-"September" by Daughtry
"Sometimes in life, there really are bonds formed that can never be broken. Sometimes you really can find that one person who will stand by you no matter what. Maybe you will find it in a spouse and celebrate it with your dream wedding. But there's also the chance that the one person you can count on for a lifetime, the one person who knows you, sometimes better than you know yourself, is the same person who's been standing beside you all along."
-from Bride Wars
Mmm, and come September,
Mmm, I will remember,
Mmm, my camping days and friendships true.
Mmm, and as the years go by,
Mmm, I'll think of you and sigh,
Mmm, this is goodnight and not goodbye
-"Linger" (a camp song)
Moon on the meadow, bugs in our ears
Smoke in our eyes, wet wood and tears
Up on the meadow, water somewhere
We were the only ones there
Wild horses rushing, dry lakes and peaks
Finding the love that everyone seeks
Hiking to rainbows, sunsets and stars
Finding out just who we are
We will return here
One lucky day
Our hearts will guide us
They know the way
People and cities don't understand
Falling in love with the land
Moon on the meadow, bugs in our ears
Smoke in our eyes, wet wood and tears
Out on the meadow, water somewhere
With you my friend, we were there
-"Moon on the Meadow" (a camp song)
"At the end of a day like this, a day when so many prayers are answered and so many aren't, we take our miracles where we find them. We reach across the gap and sometimes, against all odds, against all logic, we touch ..."
-from "Grey's Anatomy" (Season 3, Episode 17 - Some Kind of Miracle)
"For thousands of years, you humans have been throwing in everything you come across -- hopes, dreams, wishes that never came true. Irresponsible waste management, if you ask me."
-from Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (Book 1) by Rick Riordan
