Under Construction

Happy and Lovey

 

See, once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you. And once in awhile, people may even take your breath away. -Grey's Anatomy

 

Nothing matters
Except life and the love you make

-Coldplay

 

There's no combination of words
I could put on the back of a postcard
No song I could sing
But I can try for your heart
Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a, shoebox of photographs
With sepia-tone loving
Love is the answer, at least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come we're so hard?
It's not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I'll tell you one thing it’s always better when we're together

-Jack Johnson

I’m coming waltzing back
and moving into your head
Please, I wouldn’t pass this by
I would take any more than
What sort of man goes by
I will bring water
Why wont you ever be glad
It melts into wonder
I came in praying for you
Why wont you run in the rain and play?
Let the tears splash all over you
-DMB

Let's bypass the bullshit and move on because
The minute hand moves faster than you think it does
And by no fault of yours and by no fault of mine
The bottom line is laying in the bed that we've been playing in tonight

It's funny how things turn around
One day I am lost
Then I'm found
It happened so fast

From the first time
I first looked in your eyes
-A1

 

There's a centre of gravity
Brings you near to me
Nearer all the time
And I'm hypnotized

Hands

Let me hold you

Eyes

Let me see your face
Smile again as the world goes tumbling

There is nowhere I would rather spend
These lazy crazy days

And the view from here is something to see.

I go back to watchin summer fade to fall
Growin up too fast and I do recall
Wishing time would stop right in its tracks
Everytime I hear that song, I go back. -Kenny Chesney

You make my heart skip the beat that I drum to.

 

You're everything… you send your soul through your lips to my heart.

Go through the seasons of love and never change with the weather.

The way I see it is…we aren't right for anyone else.

Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart.

 

Feelings are intense

Words are trivial

Pleasures remain

So does the pain

Words are meaningless

And forgettable

All I ever wanted

All I ever needed

Is here in my arms

Words are very unnecessary

They can only do harm

Enjoy the silence

-Depeche Mode

 

I’m two quarters and a heart down

And I don’t wanna forget how your voice sounds

-Fall Out Boy

 

More than ever
I need to feel you
It's all around
More than ever
I see the real you
And it's around
Everything, everything we've had
Out of sight out of mind
Given that what I see when I dream
Hurts like hell and back

-Yellowcard

 

You and me
A little different
Though we tried to stay the same
It never leaves
And when it changes it is still a waiting game

-Yellowcard

 

Grey skies clouding up the things we used to see with wide eyes
Maybe everything was meant to be this way
Will it ever change

Turn me back into the girl I was when we met

How do you know when how much is too much? Too much too soon. Too much information. Too much fun. Too much love. Too much to ask... And when is it all just too much to bear? – Grey’s Anatomy

 

Communication. It's the first thing we really learn in life. Funny thing is, once we grow up, learn our words and really start talking the harder it becomes to know what to say. Or how to ask for what we really need. - Grey’s Anatomy

 

Take as much of the good as you can get because it doesn't come around nearly as often as it should. 'Cause good things aren't always what they seem. –Grey’s Anatomy

 

I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. –Grey’s Anatomy

 

Pain, you just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers, you just breathe deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time pain can be managed but sometimes the pain gets you where you least expect it. Hits way below the belt and doesn't let up. Pain, you just have to fight through, because the truth is you can't outrun it and life always makes more. –Grey’s Anatomy

 

Poor me, now float me out to sea
oh no just let it be, come on try
poor you, oh what you gonna do
oh what you gonna do, you just cry
I hear you come nearer
I hear you but I don't understand

-Coldplay

 

Maybe, I don't really wanna know
How your garden grows
Coz I just wanna fly
Lately did you ever feel the pain
In the morning rain
As it soaks it to the bone

-Coldplay

 

Stuck here
In the middle of no where
With a headache
And a heavy heart

-Coldplay

Oh well, nothing was going quite right here
and I’m tired
I can't play my part

-Coldplay

 

 

There's a fine, fine line between a lover and a friend;

There's a fine, fine line between reality and pretend;

And you never know 'til you reach the top if it was worth the uphill climb.

-Avenue Q

 

Whoever said 'what you don't know can't hurt you,' is a total moron. Not knowing can be the most painful thing of all. –Grey's Anatomy

 

Sometimes you got to lose it all

Before you find your way

Take a chance, play your part

Make romance, it might break your heart

But if you think that time will change your ways

Don’t wait too long

 

Hearts will never be practical until they are made unbreakable.

Nobody said it was easy,
It's such a shame for us to part.
Nobody said it was easy,
No one ever said it would be this hard.

-Coldplay

 

And I know I let you
Have all the power
And I realize I’m never gonna
Quit you over time

-Kelly Clarkson

 

If you would only listen you might just realize what you're missing...

You're missing me.

-Jack Johnson

Sometimes it's easier just to say you don't care instead of explaining all the reasons why you still do.

 

I've mapped out my course- looks like it's all uphill.

I've got a heavy heart to carry, but a very strong will.

It's just hard to travel in the shadow of regret

In fact it's so hard that I haven't actually left yet.

 

Many people play this game so willingly, do I have to be like them, or be lonely? -Kings of Convenience

 

It’s been a lonely year in this room

And I will not ignore you like before

My January promises are more

Than words softly spoken

 

Nothing lasts forever but be honest babe, it hurts but it may be the only way -Kanye

Bitter

 

Mistakes don't mean a thing if you don't regret them.

-Silverchair

 

Hey thanks, thanks for that summer
It’s cold where you’re going
I hope that your heart’s always warm
I gave you the best
I gave you the best that I had
You passed on the letters and passed on the best that I had

-Dashboard Confessional

 

I guess everybody's week must have been pretty rough,

'Cause everybody's drunk, loud, and pissed off.

I know you hate to be impressed with someone else other than yourself

But you know, trying to hold back on being an asshole helps.

 

You earned everything you found.

 

Given one more try
I don't know if I would stay
I feel so much better now
Where did we go wrong
I know you still hold on to me
But it's time that you let go
I gave you things I had
That I could not get back again
But I'm better off alone

-Yellowcard

 

Don’t judge it by the color
Confuse me for another
You might regret what you let slip away

–Jason Mraz

 

I don't care what you think, unless it is about me -Nirvana

I will not be the first one to speak. And if he never calls me again, I'll always think of him fondly. As an asshole. –Carrie

 

It's hardly what I'd be doing if you gave me a choice

It's a simple suggestion can you give me some time

So just say yes or no

Why can't you shoulder the blame

Coz both my shoulders are heavy

From the weight of us both

You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth

You've not heard a single word I have said...

-Snow Patrol

 

It seems I've stepped over lines

You've drawn again and again

-Snow Patrol

 

I don't believe
In the smile that you leave
When you walk away
And say goodbye
Well I don't expect
The world to move underneath me
But for God's sake
Could you try?
I know that you're true to me
You're always there
You say you care
I know that you want to be mine

-Kelly Clarkson

 

Where is your heart?
What I really want is to believe you
Is it so hard
To give me what I need?

-Kelly Clarkson

 

Should you stay or should you go?
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why you still standin' here?

Just walk away

-Kelly Clarkson

 

There's no light at the end of the tunnel tonight
Just a bridge that I gotta burn

Now I'm gone

And look at me, I’m all alone.

Life comes in the form of opportunities, which are easy to recognize once they have been wasted.

to hear my laugh

or see my simle again

-The Prize Fight

 

Here, a little jealousy

I hope you think of me

hope you wonder where I sleep at night

Cause I feel like I'm inside out

You got me upside down

Maybe I was holding on too tight

So don't just say goodbye to me

Just turn your back away and leave

And if you're lucky I will be your last regret

your only friend

-Yellowcard

Moving On

 

And I ain’t got no worries cause I ain’t in no hurry at all.

 

There comes a moment when it's more than just a game, and you either take that step forward or turn around and walk away. I could quit but here's the thing, I love the playing field. –Grey’s Anatomy

 

At the end of the day, there are some things you just can't help but talk about. Some things we just don't want to hear and some things we say because we can't be silent any longer. Some things are more than what you say, they're what you do. Some things you say cause there's no other choice. Some things you keep to yourself. And not too often, but every now and then, some things simply speak for themselves. –Grey’s Anatomy

 

Love ain't the answer nor is work, the truth eludes me so much it hurts.

But I'm still having fun and I guess that's the key,

I'm a twenty something and I'll keep being me.

 

You can’t go back and make a brand new start, but you can start now and make a brand new end.

 

Sometimes I feel that the chance is surprising,
Surprisingly good to be moving around,
So I wake up,
Yes I wake up,
Smiling.

-Coldplay

 

They say that people in your life are seasons

And anything that happen is for a reason.

-Kanye

 

That's the thing about needs. Sometimes when you get them met, you don't need them anymore. –Carrie

 

Carrie: When you're young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun, then you grow up and learn to be cautious; you could break a bone, or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don't leap at all because there's not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there is no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?

 

Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back. Maybe, you have to let go of who you are to become who you will be. –Carrie

 

Can you get to your future if your past is present? –Carrie

 

There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go.

-Tennesse Williams

Inspiration

 

At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. – Grey’s Anatomy

 

You choose… whether to give up at the first obstacle or give it your all, to speak up or stay silent, to change what you don't like or let it change you. With every word, every step you take, you define who you are - and you create your future.

 

I guess if you don't jump you'll never know if you can fly.

 

Circle the globe. Search out the untried. Never refuse an invitation. Never resist the unfamiliar. Never fail to be polite. Never outstay your welcome. Keep your mind open. Suck in the experience. And if it hurts…it’s probably worth it.

 

Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous. –Carrie

 

You want to stop before you begin
You want to sink when you know you could swim
You want to stop just before you begin
Never give in

-Coldplay

 

Why be concerned with things that

you don't have control over?

What good is it to worry when you never know

what's really going to happen?

Tomorrow's just another day away, you'll find your way.
You'll be okay, you just have to learn to let go.
When things get you down should you look back? No!
Turn your head around
And take things one day at a time
But plan ahead for mountains you have yet to climb

-Home Grown

 

People tell you life is short.....no its not. Life is LONG.

The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.
