friends, lovers, or nothing

there can only be one

the heavens declare your glory

as morning dawns and evening fades

you inspire songs of praise

that rise from earth to touch your heart

and glorify your name

your name

is a strong and mighty tower

your name

is a shelter like no other

your name

let the nations sing it louder

'cause nothing has the power to save

but your name

the sharp knife of a short life

 

If I Die Young - The Band Perry

if I die young bury me in satin

lay me down on a bed of roses

sink me in the river at dawn

send me away with the words of a love song

ooh ooh ooh ooh

Lord make me a rainbow I'll shine down on my mother

she'll know I'm safe with you and she stands under my colors

oh and life ain't always what you think it ought to be

no ain't even gray but she buries her baby

the sharp knife of a short life

well I've had just enough time

if i die young bury me in satin

lay me down on a bed of roses

sink me in the river at dawn

send me away with the words of a love song

the sharp knife of a short life

well, i have just enough time

and I'll be wearing white

when i come into your kingdom

I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger

I've never known the lovin' of man

but it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand

there's a boy here in town

who says he'll love me forever

who would have thought forever could be severed

by the sharp knife of a short life

well I've had just enough time

so put on your best boys, and I'll wear my pearls

what i never did is done

a penny for my thoughts oh no I'll sell 'em for a dollar

they're worth so much more after I'm a goner

and maybe then you'll hear the words that I've been singin'

its funny when your dead how people start listenin'

if I die young bury me in satin

lay me down on a bed of roses

sink me in the river at dawn

send me away with the words of a love song

ooh ooh the ballad of a dove

go with peace and love

gather up your tears and keep them in your pocket

save em for a time when your really gonna need em.

oh the sharp knife of a short life

well I've had just enough time

so put on your best boys, and I'll wear my pearls



love this love song

When We First Met - Hellogoodbye 

When we first met
Your hair was long and brown
You hadn't yet cut it all off
And now it's long once again, oh
Oh, it's long once again

As I kept track of every haircut that we ever had
I could, I could see how long it had been, oh
Oh, how long it had been

And this thought, made it clearer
I ought to be near her

All I see is where our days repeat
And our love goes on
As our hair grows long

Oh, Chelsea Lynn
I watched your hair grow from the root to tip
I know, I know I have always known
And I always will know
Oh, oh
That I could have a single direction until I am dead
I'll go, I'll go as I always have gone, and
And I always will go
Oh, oh

This thought made it clearer
I ought to be near her

All I see is where our days repeat
And our love goes on
As our hair grows long

feel-good song:)

baby it's a fact- hellogoodbye

Just in case they're wondering
They've got us pinned terribly
They don't believe our love is real
Cause they don't know how real love feels

You should know it's true
Just now, the part about my love for you
And how my heart's about burst
Into a thousand pieces
Oh it must be true
And They'll believe us too soon

Baby, it's fact
Our love is true
The word black is black
And blue is just blue
My love is true
It's a matter of fact
Oh, and you love me too
It's as simple as that
Baby, our love is true

They may say some awful things
But there's no point in listening
Your words are the only words
That I believe in afterwards.

You should know it's true
Just now, the part about my love for you
And how my heart's about burst
Into a thousand pieces
So it must be true
And they'll believe us too soon

Baby, it's fact
Our love is true
The way black is black
And blue is just blue
My love is true
It's a matter of fact
Oh, and you love me too
It's as simple as that
Baby, our love is true

25 days to last day of work!!

can't get it out of my head

Hey, hey, hey

Your lipstick stains on the front load of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you, and so I went and let you blow my mind
Your sweet moon beam, the smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided, you're the one I have decided who's one of my kind

Hey soul sister, ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio, stereo, the way you move ain't fair, you know

Hey soul sister, I don't want to miss a single thing you do...tonight

beauty for ashes

beauty for ashes
a garment of praise for my heaviness
beauty for ashes
take this heart of stone and make it Yours, Yours

i delight myself in the Richest of Fare
trading all that i've had for all that is better
a garment of praise for my heaviness
You are the greatest taste
You're the richest of fare

(Psalm 63, Isaiah 61)

burnt!!

You have never been in love,
Until you've seen the stars,
reflect in the resevoirs

And you have never been in love,
Until you've seen the dawn rise,
behind the home for the blind

Zee Avi is awesome!!! i like this song of hers, take a listen-

Kantoi (youtube link)

i'm slightly burnt from netball this morning, but it's a small price to pay for finally being able to touch a netball after so long!!! and it was great playing with my juniors too:) met the new batch of J1s too, gave them lots of senior-ish advice heheh.

talked to mel the other day over dinner and realised what an impact netball had in our lives, i mean the life skills and stuff. and just like my sec sch coach predicted, we appreciate all the tough trainings and shellings she gave us then. thanks, coach:)

i keep drinking fluids but i still feel thirsty

went for a jog after work today, cuz my colleague sent me back so i reached home like half hour earlier than expected. and since i was in shoes already. aiyo. it was pretty slow and tiring and the ipod hanged towards the end (when the music is most needed! motivation!!). but.. it felt good to have my legs moving and heart pumping. i miss running! (and my super anti-running LL screams into oblivion reading that line) you know what my music is so not the go running type of music! it's more sleepy and emo and wind down type. zzzzzzzz. i blame the sister (i koped her songs)

one of the songs from my sis itunes, its not her usual sleepy song, slightly old and country but catchy!

link: Need You Now - Lady Antebellum

Picture perfect memories
scattered all around the floor.
reaching for the phone,
cause I cant fight it anymore.

And i wonder if I ever cross your mind
for me it happens all the time

Its a quarter after one im all alone and I
need you now
said I wouldn't call
but I lost all control and I need you now,
and I dont know how I can do without
i just need you now

Another shot of whiskey
cant stop looking at the door,
wishing you'd come sweeping
in the way you did before

And I wonder if I ever cross your mind,
for me it happens all the time

Its a quarter after one im a little drunk and I
need you now
said I wouldnt call
but I lost all control and
I need you now.
and I dont know how I can do without
I just need you now...

wooh oo wooh oh

Yes I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all

Its a quarter after one im all alone and I
need you now
and I said I wouldn't call
but im a little drunk and I need you now
and I dont know how I can do without
I just need you now
I just need you now

thanks for borrowing the gym and badminton books for me dad, so sweet!

 Over The Rainbow

link: performed by Ingrid Michaelson

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I've heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
The bluebirds fly so high
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh why can't I

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
The Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then oh why can't I
Why then oh why can't I

usually can't stay emo for long

ok ALERT to MICHELLE ANN ROZARIO that the following post talks about GOD. (never thought you'd see your name in the same sentence as His right?)

Breathe On Me Now - Kathryn Scott (link!)

When my soul has cried its tears
And my heart begins to faint
Will You draw near
Will You meet with me

When my days are filled with longing
And my spirit groans and waits
Will You draw near
Will You meet with me

I'm calling and waiting
Your presence Lord is life to me

Breathe on me now as I bow down
I'm desperate Lord for more of You
Come satisfy until I
Am even more in need of You

When my dreams have been forgotten
And my hope begins to fade
Will You draw near
Will You meet with me

When my days are filled with searching
And my strength has given way
Will You draw near
Will You meet with me 

i immediately felt it when i was sincerely replying a friend bout how i was doing. i mean i'm alright, but then i started thinking about the stuff that's happened the past weekends and how i've been avoiding even thinking about it, about THEM. and then i thought what a lousy job i've been doing. then i felt emo and started searching for really emo songs on my sister's playlist (HAHA says alot bout her). but somehow emo songs are always about heartbreak and lost love etc, which isn't what i'm emoing about! 

then i found this song and thought, maybe, what i was upset about wasn't the heart of the matter. i feel insecure and useless and unworthy and dumb BUT i figured the REAL issue is how i've been casually putting off meeting up with the ONE person who can make me feel loved and secure and useful and able. and i guess the distance has kinda taken a toll, i can feel the hunger pangs and gastric juices and weakening of... my spirit. i'm talking about that overwhelming emptiness that comes when you put off being distracted for awhile.. and BAM! it hits you, then washes over you and you scramble for the emo music to distract you again.

so as uncomfortable the song lyrics may be to some, this is the song that is appropriate for my emo-ness this time. its the only type of emo-ness that REALLY affects me you know...

Will You draw near
Will You meet with me

it gets so humid when it rains

Maybe
 I don't want to be the first to let it go
But I know, I know, I know
If you have the last hands that I want to hold
Then I know I've got to let them go

Maybe in the future, you're gonna come back, you're gonna come back around
Maybe in the future, you're gonna come back, you're gonna come back
The only way to really know is to really let it go
Maybe you're gonna come back, you're gonna come back, you're gonna come back

gravity

 

something always brings me back to you

it never takes too long

no matter what i say or do

i still feel you here till the moment i'm gone

set me free

leave me be

i don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity

here i am

and i stand so tall

just the way i'm supposed to be

but you're on to me and all over me

sara bareilles has such a gorgeous voice :) she doesn't look like how she sounds though haha. can't have it all!

stuck on taylor swift!

you don't have to call anymore

i won't pick up the phone

this is the last straw

don't wanna hurt anymore

and you can tell me that you're sorry but i don't believe you baby like i did before

you're not sorry

oh no

so heartbreaking right! taylor swift is really a talented artist. i mean she can make bimbotic teenage breakups sound just like it is at the time - heartwrenching. but it's true that when u get older you just look back and laugh at how silly it all was:)

looking forward to being 20 and putting away all my childish ways!

wait a little longer, silly romance.
