I can watch a sunset on my own.
Yeah you make me merry make me very very happy
But you obviously, you didn't want to stick around
I can be alone
I can watch a sunset on my own
I can be alone
I can watch a sunset on my own
I can be alone
I can watch a sunset on my own
People Help the People
I guess you kissed the girls and made them cry
Those Hardfaced Queens of misadventure
God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes
A fiery throng of muted angels
Giving love and getting nothing back
People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and i'll hold it
People help the people
And nothing will drag you down
Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain
i'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned, all those good hearts away
God knows what is hiding, in that world of little consequence
Behind the tears, inside the lies
A thousand slowly dying sunsets
God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
I guess the loneliness came knocking
No on needs to be alone, oh save me
People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and i'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned, all those good hearts away
People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh and if I had a brain, Oh and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned, all those good hearts away
It is your girl.
Last night I had a dream about this girl I know
God she’s beautiful
But when I woke up I realized
that the dream I had was true
You see I’m not trying to cause any trouble
But the way she acts makes it difficult
To be the guy I am around my friends
She’s got to stop what she’s doing now
Cause that is your girl, it’s your girl
Last night when I went to bed
I just couldn’t sleep, I was so confused
because every time she looks at me
it feels like the way she should be looking at you
and every time she dances with me
it feels like the way she should be dancing with you
and you know I’m not the only one that feels this way
she’s got to stop what she’s doing now
Cause that is your girl, it’s your girl
Do I still cross your mind?
It's been at least another year
And still I haven't got the chance to say
Always rolling off the tongue
Never said but nearly sung about a million ways
Do I still cross your mind?
Just a Boy...
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
I met you once and I'd fallen for your notions.
I don't know why.
I don't know why.
Do you believe that there's treasures in the ocean
Did I say I'm just a boy?
One kiss from you and I'm drunk up on your potion.
That big old smile is all you wore.
Girl you make me want to feel,
Things I've never felt before.
Girl you make me want to feel,
Did I say I'm just a boy,
Did I say I'm just a boy,
You can hold me to that.

Tamed.
Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free till they find someone just as wild to run with them.
As we grow up....
As we grow up, we learn that the people that weren't supposed to ever let us down, probably will.
You will have your heart broken and will break others' hearts.
You will blame a new love for things an old love did.
You will fight with you best friend.
You will cry because time is flying by.
You will lose someone you love.
So...
Take too many pictures.
Laugh too much.
Forgive freely.
Love like you have never been hurt.
Every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you will never get back.
You will have your heart broken and will break others' hearts.

Laugh too much.
Forgive freely.
Love like you have never been hurt.
Every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you will never get back.

Do not...
Do not promise when you are happy.
Do not reply when you are angry.
Do not decide when you are sad.
Do not reply when you are angry.
Do not decide when you are sad.
Save your own heart...
Sometimes you just got to be your own hero and save your own little heart. Because sometimes, the people you can't imagine living without, can actually live without you.
Beautiful.
At the entrance of a gym, there was a picture of a very thin and beautiful woman. The caption was "This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?" A woman answered the following way: Dear people, Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, seals, curious humans), they are sexually active and raise their children with great tenderness. They entertain like crazy with dolphins and eat lots of prawns. They swim all day and travel to fantastic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea or the coral reefs of Polynesia. They sing incredibly well and are sometimes even on CDs. They are impressive and dearly loved animals, which everyone defends and admires. Mermaids do not exist. But if they existed, they would line up to see a psychologist because of a problem of split personality: woman or fish? They would have no sex life and could not bear children. Yes, they would be lovely, but lonely and sad. And, who wants a woman that smells like fish by his side? Without a doubt, I'd rather be a whale At a time when the media tells us that only thin is beautiful, I prefer to eat ice cream, to have dinner with my dates, to eat and drink and have fun with my friends.
No one is YOUER than YOU!
Today you are YOU, that is truer than true!
There is NO ONE alive who is YOUER than YOU!
There is NO ONE alive who is YOUER than YOU!
Do what you love. Love what you do.
The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.
Memories.
I think that the only reason why people hold onto memories so tight, for so long is because memories are the only things that don't change, even when people do...

I just want you.
I just want you.
That's it. I want all your flaws, mistakes, smiles, giggles, jokes, sarcasm. Everything.
I just want you.
I can promise you...
I can't promise to fix all your problems, but I can promise you won't have to face them all alone.
Will you be my girlfriend?
“I took her iPhone.
Changed the contact name.
Placed it back next to her.
I called.
She Answered.”

Mistakes.
Maybe mistakes are what make our fate... without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart... and if you are very lucky, a plane ride away.
When did it stop being fun?
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's no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?
Dear Self...
Dear Self,
You are not Carrie Bradshaw. I know you sometimes like to think you are, what with your love of shoes and your studio apartment and the fact that you’re doing this whole “writing a column” thing now, but you are not Carrie Bradshaw.
Big and Carrie are not a great love story for our time. They are terrible role models who made millions of women (or maybe just you) believe that if they just waited it out, kept being available and kept ruining perfectly good relationships that could have made them very happy, that eventually, a self involved and unavailable jerk would come around and realize that you were the best thing that ever happened to him. Self, that is not going to happen.
You deserve better than to keep investing your emotional energy in a man who has proven time and time again that you’re going to come in second, and that’s on the good days. Being where he needs to be for work and not where you are is a choice he made, so please stop thinking that maybe if you just do something differently, he’ll choose you instead, because he won’t. Men who love their careers more than they love you do not change; he’s not going to wake up one morning and realize that you’re the one and fly to Paris to rescue you from your Russian boyfriend, or whatever.
Self, you don’t need to cling to occasional scraps of affection, desperately hoping that they mean something. Not being ignored is not even close to the same thing as being truly cared about. Being given the extra toothbrush head or a purse you don’t like is not a reassuring sign that he thought of you, it’s a sign he didn’t think enough of you to give you a key or get you a gift you’d actually enjoy. Don’t settle for a man who “wishes he could be there”, keep searching until you find one who will be there, always.
When a man pops up in your life every time you might just be getting over him and standing a chance at being happy, that is not a sign that he is The One. It’s a sign that he has really terrible timing. (Seriously, Self, the fact that he started talking to you on gChat while you’re supposed to be finishing this column is coincidence and nothing more.)
Do yourself a favor and learn from Carrie’s mistakes. Listen to your friends. When they’re screaming at you over lunch, telling you not to go back to him for the second time (or the fifteenth), listen. Sure, you know him better than they do, but that doesn’t mean you have more insight into the situation. Let their objectivity be your guide.
Love yourself enough to realize that you deserve a man who loves you. Stop believing that you’re unworthy and then cementing this belief by staying with a man who doesn’t think you’re worthy either.
