Crying in the pallid night
Crying in a dreary sleep
Crying torrid shades of ember
For the washed out faded days
...
As I sit here, shaking from the walk, but definite
My fingers smelling of smoke and myself
I don't need anyone else
...
Hear the clocks ticking, from dusk 'til night
The time is running, will it be on my side?
When the clock strikes nine I will be just fine
Because this is the time that you will be mine
...
Beautiful, sexy, pretty
All the compliments in the world
Make me feel good
But what is their worth
...
Victory, why are you feeling so blue?
Because I won't be heard by the Gods I pray to
Great Jupiter, listen
Your Psyche is calling
...
You might say I am crazy
Obsessive, insane
But I'm just a girl
With an American name
...
City lights reflected by silver clouds
My brand new shoes on the dark, dusty pavement
Following the golden glow down the avenue
High trees, white walls and luxury villas
...
I was a stupid girl
Egoistic and dumb
Put myself first
I was feeling numb
...
Forever and ever
The saying goes
But what's in eternity
Can it come close
...
Is this a beginning
Or just the beginning of an end like all the times before?
An ending before it began
Beginning to fade
...
I saw you in a magazine today
Half a smile, miles away
And though I know you're busy doing all the things you wanna do
I keep thinking about you
...
A love's lesson learned
A reputation well earned
I am going places
But baby, let's face it
...
A snapshot
It makes the present stay alive
Makes a distant past revive
Happy faces, words unspoken
...
Point your gun at my head
Play me till I drop dead
The worst of you will get the best of me
...
Summertime's ending but winter is far
Passing the time at the cinema
Sun, swimming pool and buying new clothes
Changing room fun and taking cool photos
...
See the sun shining and the hillsides so green
The meadows reflecting the faint morning light
The lilies they blossom in nature's wide screen
While the air feels fresh after a clear pristine night
...
I'm too scared to lose you
Wouldn't even start a fight
Still I do things
That put me at risk
...
I'm the Queen of the bad examples
In the dance team I fall out of line
I don't walk, I trip and I stumble
And the grand prize never was mine
...
They say you always meet twice
But what after?
When you don't know if you messed up worse than before
You need a third time to try it once more
...
Baby, don't look in my eyes
Or we'll have to pay the price
If the public finds out
What this is about
...
I love France, traveling, art, fashion, Cleopatra, Roman history, Greek mythology, politics, purple sunsets, Shakespeare, the 19th century, botany, Alexander von Humboldt, Music, Mick Jagger, French films, bad boys ;))
The You That I Remember
Crying in the pallid night
Crying in a dreary sleep
Crying torrid shades of ember
For the washed out faded days
And the you that I remember
My tears await a supreme sign
To tell them dry or keep on running
My blurry eyes contrive a scheme
Of truthful words that cease becoming
And remain a blissful dream
Wishes don't accept objections
Conviction doesn't face projections
Confidence grows into doctrine
With unimpaired withdrawal signs
Until your memory catches mine
Hi Julie, I like your personal logic with situational thinking. Greetings, Paul
Whatever happens can't be as bad as what happened before and we can deal with that.
Just because you don't know what you want you don't have to take what's there. Better late the right thing than the wrong thing right now.
Life advice: 1_ It's not the end of the world. 2_ I have to find inner peace. 3_ He's not out of this world 4_ We all are still young
Half a heart is better than half a life but half a life is better than nothing
If I wasn't supposed to be with him all my life I would have never met him.
I may not be the first in the finish line but I got the greatest staying power.
