Was it all just inside my head? Those fond memories from not so distant past, yet felt like from an entirely different realm. Much as I want them back and be real, I fear that I get disillusioned and sent crashing down in the cold, hard ground when I get what I wish for.
I miss those days under the long white cloud, where I found my moment, my place under the sun. I'm still here, still waiting nonetheless. Breathing and carrying on with life, every single day I'm away from my haven.
Title: Watch the Sun Come Up
Artist: Example
Album: Won't Go Quietly
Hey, good morning
Hey, it's calling
Hey, good morning
Watch the sun come up
It's calling
I want another day with you
How can I explain it scratchin my brain
How can 10 hours feel like 10 years?
I cry 10 men’s tears as it disappears
With the passionate atmosphere
Took your glove as a souvenir
Left the other on the pillow as I stroked your ear
One last breathe of your hair, stared for a second
Then the doorway beckoned
I’m a lover not a fighter
So I didn’t fight the fact that I more than liked ya
Didn’t matter we were under influence
Made sense this was more than lust
I don’t own you, you don’t own me
One night only, if only
I could take you back and just show you off
But I guess if I did that, the magic is lost
Pre chorus:
Believe me I wanna stay
But I'm off and away
Chorus:
Hey, Good Morning
Watch the sun come up
It’s calling
I want another day with you
Verse 2:
You and that red dress - What a pairing
I kept staring, you couldn’t have said less
Cant let my head rest, thinking about ya,
Really wanna look into your catwoman eyes
Turn back time, cause it flies by
You know, them Marty mcfly vibes
See, I can picture the bright lights
Sights and night skies and boats go by
I don’t why it happened so fast
When I tried to speak your language I'm happy you laughed
Cause I’m hardly a linguist
Spoke through kisses you didn’t speak English
And It was hard to distinguish
Love at first sight or holiday romance?
Don’t care I was lost in the moment
I really shoulda missed that flight
Pre Chorus:
Believe me I wanna stay
But I’m going away
Chorus:
Hey, Good Morning
Watch the sun come up
It’s calling
I want another day with you
Hey, Good Morning
Watch the sun come up
It’s calling
I want just one more day with you
Middle 8:
I don’t think I could be dreaming I felt your touch
No I remember you breathing when I woke up
Now all I have are these memories I can't trust
Just one day, wont be enough
Chorus:
Hey, Good Morning
Watch The Sun Come Up
It’s calling
I want another day with you
Hey, Good Morning
Watch The Sun Come Up
It’s calling
I want another day with you

Some personality test
Personality Profile for Icy Flame
TEST ONE
Crikey, you're ever so slightly bonkers! You've probably got loads of chums though - for some reason people who are one brick short of a full load are quite popular. SUMMARY - You've got kangaroos in the top paddock (that's Australian for barmy). Stay away from sharp objects.
TEST TWO
You're just a little bit of a meanie!
TEST THREE
If you chose the squiggly line then you're always in a hurry. You get bored every eight pico-seconds and have to constantly find new challenges. You may be incredibly enthusiastic, but your 'ants in your pants' chopping and changing attitude to life means you'll probably turn out to be a jack of all trades, master of none. You're quite good fun at parties and you can put up quite a steady(ish) shelf (if called on to do so). Basically, you're one of life's 'slightly useful' people.
TEST FOUR
You're quite open and honest, but can be introverted at times. You're a little bit dominated by your mother. Your father dominates you. You're a little shy when it comes to sex. You're a bit of a flirty type. Your sexual desire is normal compared to other 'normal' people, if you can find some. You can be emotional at times, and you're hard on the surface, but wibbly underneath. You have plenty of friends, but very few (if any) that you feel close to.

Marchin' on
It's easier to just succumb to the negativities I've been experiencing for the longest time. But I dunno, I just don't wanna bow and acknowledge that the dark clouds lord my life. There's something within me that wanna wage war against them, to reclaim pieces of me that has tarnished. It isn't gonna be decided by a singgle battle though; it's a day-to-day effort to remain sane and standing, unwavering and determined.
Title: Marchin' On
Artist: OneRepublic
Album: Waking Up
For those days we felt like a mistake
Those times when love's what you hate
Somehow
We keep marchin on
For those nights when I couldn't be there
I've made it harder to know that you know
That somehow
We'll keep movin on
There's so many wars we fought
There's so many things we're not
But with what we have, I promise you that
We're marchin on
We're marchin on
We're marchin on
For all of the plans we've made
There isn't a flag I'd wave
Don't care if we bend, I'd sink us to swim
We're marchin on
We're marchin on
We're marchin on
For those doubts that swirl all around us
For those lives that tear at the seams
We know
We're not what we've seen
For this dance we'll move with each other
There ain't no other step than one foot
Right in front of the other
There's so many wars we fought
There's so many things we're not
But with what we have, I promise you that
We're marchin on
We're marchin on

And we'll have the scars to prove it
We'll have the bombs that we save
But we'll have the heart not to lose it
For all of the times we've stopped
For all of the things I'm not
We put one foot in front of the other
We move like we ain't got no other
We go where we go
We're marchin on

Rise above this
Is this QLC? Is this some bottomless pit that sucks the fun and vigor off me? Is this all the cares in the world trying to overwhelm my frail and limited being? I dunno, I wish I have all the answers so I don't even have to ask questions.
But then, when one's downtrodden, there's no other way but to climb back up even if it takes inch by inch and done in a painstaking manner. Maybe after all, there's something within us that can conquer gravity. I hope that despite my limitations, something within gets unleashed to hurdle all of these worries, doubts and frustrations.
Title: Rise Above This
Artist: Seether
Album: Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces
Take the light, and darken everything around me
call the clouds and listen closely, I'm lost without you
Call your name every day when i feel so helpless
I'm fallin' down but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Hate the mind, regrets are better left unspoken
For all we know, this void will grow and
Everything's in vain, distressing you though it leaves me open
Feels so right, but I'll end this all before it gets me
Call your name every day, when i feel so helpless
I'm fallin' down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Call your name every day, when i seem so helpless
I'm fallin' down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this doubt
I'll mend myself before it gets me
(I'll mend myself before it gets me)
I'll mend myself before it gets me
(I'll mend myself before it gets me)
Call your name every day, when i feel so helpless
I'm fallin' down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Call your name every day, when i seem so helpless
I'm fallin' down, but I'll rise above this, rise above this
Forty eight ways to say that I'm feelin' helpless
Fallin' down, fallin down', but I'll rise above this, rise above this

Airplanes
I just wish I could ride that plane and break free from these shackles of my usual day-to-day existence. Hoping to soar the night sky, touch the stars (and see for myself if indeed, as Moby declares in his 2K2 song, "we are all made of stars") and land in time to feel the warmth of the new sunrise. Then somehow, in that landing ground, something with unusual yet comforting warmth captivates me, my entirety that is.
Title: Airplanes (feat. Hayley Williams)
Artist: B.o.B
Album: The Adventures of B.o.B
[Chorus: Hayley Williams (B.o.B)]
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now
Wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now
Wish right now
[Verse 1: B.o.B]
Ya, I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
'Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin'
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
And when you starin' at that phone in your lap
And you hopin' but them people never call you back
But that's just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravel in the sand
What would you wish for if you had one chance?
So we're playin' airplane, sorry I'm late
I'm on my way so don't close that gate
If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight
And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night
[Chorus: Hayley Williams (B.o.B)]
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars)
I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars? (Shooting Stars)
I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)
[Verse 2: B.o.B]
Ya, ya, somebody take me back to the days
Befo' this was a job, befo' I got paid
Befo' it ever mattered what I had in my bank
Ya, back when I was tryin' to get a tip at Subway
And back when I was rappin' for the hell of it
But nowadays we rappin' to stay relevant
I'm guessin' that if we can make some wishes outta' airplanes
Then maybe oh maybe I'll back to the days
Befo' the politics that we call the rap game
And back when ain't nobody listen to my mixtape
And back befo' I tried to cover up my slang
But this is fo' the hater, what's up Bobby Ray?
So can I get a wish
To end the politics
And get back to the music
That started this shit?
So here I stand and then again I say
I'm hopin' we can make some wishes outta' airplanes
[Chorus: Hayley Williams (B.o.B)]
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars? (Shooting Stars)
I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars? (Shooting Stars)
I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now)
[Outro: B.o.B]
I could really use a wish right now
(I could really use a wish right now)
I-I-I could really use a wish right now
(I could really use a wish right now)
Like, like, like shootin' stars
(Like shootin' stars)

Maybe someday..
I just wish Rob Thomas (or someone like him) would write me a song. For now, let this track off his latest album Cradlesong sink into my system.
Title: Someday
Artist: Rob Thomas
Album: Cradlesong
You can go
You can start all over again
You can try to find a way to make another day go by
You can hide
Hold all your feelings inside
You can try to carry on when all you want to do is cry
[Chorus:]
And maybe someday
We'll figure all this out
Try to put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to make things better now and
Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud
We'll be better off somehow
Someday
Now wait
And try to find another mistake
If you throw it all away then maybe you can change your mind
You can run, oh
And when everything is over and done
You can shine a little light on everything around you
Man it's good to be someone
[Chorus]
And I don't want to wait
I just want to know
I just want to hear you tell me so
Give it to me straight
Tell it to me slow
Cause maybe someday
We'll figure all this out
We'll put an end to all our doubt
Try to find a way to just feel better now and
Maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud
We'll be better off somehow
Someday
[x2]
Cause sometimes we don't really notice
Just how good it can get
So maybe we should start all over
Start all over again
Title: Someday

Still here
Title: If It's Love
Artist: Train
Album: Save Me, San Francisco
While everybody else is getting out of bed
I'm usually getting in it
I'm not in it to win it
And there's a thousand ways you can skin it
My feet have been on the floor
Flat like an idle singer
Remember winger
I digress
I confess you are the best thing in my life
But I'm afraid when I hear stories
About a husband and wife
There's no happy endings
No Henry Lee
But you are the greatest thing about me
[Chorus]
If it's love
And we decide that it's forever
No one else could do it better
If it's love
And we're two birds of a feather
Then the rest is just whenever
And if I'm addicted to loving you
And you're addicted to my love too
We can be them two birds of a feather
That flock together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, Love
That's enough for me
Took a loan on a house I own
Can't be a queen bee without a bee throne
I wanna buy ya everything
Except cologne
'cause it's poison
We can travel to Spain where the rain falls
Mainly on the plain side and sing
'cause it is we can laugh we can sing
Have ten kids and give them everything
Hold our cell phones up in the air
And just be glad we made it here alive
On a spinning ball in the middle of space
I love you from your toes to your face
[Chorus]
You can move in
I won't ask where you've been
'cause everybody has a past
When we're older
We'll do it all over again
When everybody else is getting out of bed
I'm usually getting in it
I'm not in it to win it
I'm in it for you
If it's love
And we're two birds of a feather
Then the rest is just whenever
Then the rest is just whenever
If it's love
And we decide that it's forever
No one else could do it better
And if I'm addicted to loving you
And you're addicted to my love too
We can be them two birds of a feather
That flock together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, love
Got to have something to keep us together
Love, love
That's enough for me
