so i try so hard not to listen to emo music (for reasons why, please refer to adam & andrew's hit single, "i must be emo"), but bright eyes just gets me with these words
------------------
This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach
Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go
And so I thought I’d let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow.
------------------
i am headed north for a huge change in atmosphere, possibly the greatest adventure yet - if i can ignore my unforgettable travels. i'm going to feel the pulse of an electric city. i'm going to be in the heart of our country, and every night i will fall asleep with my head throbbing in time with my environs. the district and i will sleep alone, and i couldn't be more excited.
if i thought i was blind before i met you, i can see all too clearly now.
