The storm before the calm

Slow Dancing in a Burning Room
- John Mayer

It's not a silly little moment,
It's not the storm before the calm.
This is the deep and dying breath of
This love that we've been working on.

Can't seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel you in my arms.
Nobody's gonna come and save you,
We pulled too many false alarms.

We're going down,
And you can see it too.
We're going down,
And you know that we're doomed.
My dear,
We're slow dancing in a burning room.

I was the one you always dreamed of,
You were the one I tried to draw.
How dare you say it's nothing to me?
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw.

I'll make the most of all the sadness,
You'll be a bitch because you can.
You try to hit me just to hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can't understand.

We're going down,
And you can see it too.
We're going down,
And you know that we're doomed.
My dear,
We're slow dancing in a burning room.

Go cry about it - why don't you?
Go cry about it - why don't you?
Go cry about it - why don't you?

My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room.

Don't you think we oughta know by now?
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?

i feel like Time is running so fast that I can hardly catch up now. just one more week- of rest, reflecting, and reading. haha, it's funny how all of them start with 'r'.

after that, i will focus on doing well for my internship.

then after graduation, i'll pursue the things i enjoy doing- like taking up dance again, diving, learn to wakeboard and cable ski, sign up for that cupcake making class, make pretty pretty dresses with my tall sister, tutor some kid, maybe go volunteer at spca or if possible, work in the zoo (though it's unlikely cause they're probably looking for long term commitment), and of course travel to some countries with my savings (which isn't much but i'm saving up already!).

hahaha. i really don't have an idea of what i want to do, despite reflecting deeply for days. but i know that if i ever want to do something that i like, it'll have something to do with children, animals, water sports, and of course food. because practical as i should be, i can't see myself stuck in the corporate world, with a desk-bound job and having a power bar as my lunch. but i guess i'll just have to take a step at a time and see where the path leads to. afterall, the boat come to the bridgehead then will become straight naturally right? Lol, i better not let tankokhua ever read this.

i'm just babbling on and on, so i guess i should stop. night all! :D
