A Musical (well, lyrical) Interlude

I have a lot on my mind at the moment. Too much, and too personal to blog about. Therefore, I came up with the genius (hahaha) idea of posting song quotes. That way, nobody will know who or what I'm talking about. Except maybe for you. And that's what I hope.

"If you don't expect too much from me,
You might not be let down."
--Gin Blossoms

"I think about you all the time, but I don't need the same.
It's lonely where you are, come back down ..."
--Goo Goo Dolls

"I don't want to be the sweeper of the egg shells that you walk upon
And I don't want to be your other half, I believe that 1 and 1 make 2
I don't want to be your food or the light from the fridge on your face
At midnight, hey
What are you hungry for
I don't want to be the glue that holds your pieces together
I don't want to be your idol
See this pedestal is high and I'm afraid of heights
I don't want to be lived through
A vicarious occasion
Please open the window"
--Alanis Morissette

"Just one smile on your face
Was all it took to change my fortune
Just one word from your mouth
Was all I needed to be certain."
--Madonna

"That's why I'm going to Katmandu,
Up to the mountains where I'm going to.
If I ever get out of here,
That's what I'm gonna do."
--Bob Seger

"Jane, divided, but I cant decide what side I'm on
Jane decided only cowards stay, while traitors run."
--Barenaked Ladies

"Danger in the game when the stakes are high
Branded, my heart was branded while my senses stood by."
--Starship

"Will you raise me up, will you help me down?
Will you get me right out of this godforsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?

I can do that. Oh I can do that.

Will you hold me sacred?
Will you hold me tight?
Can you colorize my life, I'm so sick of black and white!
Can you make it all a little less old?

I can do that.
Oh oh now I can do that!

Will you make me some magic with your own two hands?
Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand?
Can you give me something I can take home?

I can do that!
Oh, oh, now I can do that!

Will you cater to every fantasy I've got?
Will you hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot? Hot!
Will you take me places I've never known?"
--Meat Loaf
