currently listening to: fall creek boys choir by james blake & bon iver

we spend half our life sleeping.

but we spend our whole life waiting.

waiting in lines

waiting for times

waiting to be old enough

waiting for a call.

we're always waiting.

we just don't always realize it.

waiting for someone to say something.

waiting for them to notice you.

constantly waiting for that one person

and they have no idea you're waiting for them.

it's when you stop waiting for something

that you finally get it.

where we've been is who we used to be.

we started wrapping our regrets in cloth

are you defined by all the things you want

or did you get caught up

in the things that we are not?

you were born to believe you can't get lost,

so when you run, you always get too far.

now there's nothing you haven't seen.

but where we're headed we have never been,

past the pavement that we used to walk,

past the people that we used to know.

now come on, go

past the people that had broke our hearts.

we started laughing at them from afar

no we're not swans.

nor are we as ugly as we think we are.

we don't take to compliments but please don't stop.
