drive right anna nalick - or some such artist that breathes :)

2 a.m. and she calls me cause I'm still awake,
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake
I don't love him and winter just wasn't my season."
Yea we walk through the doors so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize
Hypocrites you're all here for the very same reason.

Cause you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable
and life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button girl
So just cradle your head in your hands.
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe just breathe

May he turned 21 on the base of Fort Bliss
Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist
Ain't been sober since maybe October of last year
Here in town you can tell he's been down for while
But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles
Wanna hold him but maybe I'll just sing about it

Cause you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button boys
so cradle your head in your hands
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breath just breathe

There's a light at the end of this tunnel
you shout cause you're just as far in
as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made
You'll just make them again
if you'll only try turnin' around

2 a.m. and I'm still awake writing this song
If i get it all down on paper
it's no longer inside of me
threaten' the life it belongs to.
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary screamin' out aloud
And I know that you'll use them however you want to.

But you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand... yeah breathe
Just breathe, oh breathe.

today we looked at new cars.

we decided on a mojave sand 2004 honda crv with a sunroof, power mirrors, power windows and a revolving 6-cd set. there's a removable, foldable picnic table in the trunk. there's a sealed compartment under the picnic table where we can store wet swimsuits if we choose. the 5th spare tire is identical to the four already rolling the asphalt. it flew around the block like a carpet riding sea breezes.

like most long-term committments, i won't mind fleeing this one as well, ahahahaha... but as i'm outnumbered 2-3 in this house, the decision falls on a sibling who will most likely immediately salivate the car and excitedly offer to drive it every chance she gets.

we really need a second car. the old one's become unreliable, but only in the little things - the heat's busted and just tonight the right headlamp went kaput. it needs another overhaul. it's also a honda, a huge, gas guzzling suv passport, been with us 9 years and 6 months. it's paid off, so we're keeping that car.

it'd be great to have a second car, but i'm so still not so sure about this new car. i dunno, i'm not sure if it's the money i need to give up, or that we're giving up a parking spot in the garage, or coz it might stand out in the neighborhood we live, or what. we got a really good deal on the crv, too, shaved off at least $4,000 in bargaining.

monday two of us four will return to the dealer and test drive it. two of us can't because we have class. that crv is such a toy! ahahahaha. i don't like that the drive-lever-thingy is beside the wheel instead of next to my right knee. we'll see.  ¶ 2/05/2005 07:13:00 PM
