One of us is gonna be here and
One of us is gonna be running
Off alone into the great unknown
You're not me, you're a model of freedom
All you need are your kicks when you need 'em
Come and go, caught that slow alright
With one hand off the side
We get farther away in the blink of an eye
And it's the time we waste
Swallowed into space
It's the time it takes to blow away
To blow away
To blow away
Hey, hey you, yeah you gotta be leaving,
Say what you want, what you say, say anything
No one knows just how deep it goes
We are old in your teenaged tyranny
And all you need is a hunger to feed
I've got my own secrets though, say what?
With a heart full of mess and lore
We are doomed but we wanted more
It's the ride we take
The many winged escape
It's the bough we break to blow away
To blow away
And we blow away
One of us is now retreating
You knocked me down so hard I'm seeing a thousand stars
Come out where you are'
Cause I won't ever be caught crying
And I will not be taken lying down
It blows into smoke
The time we waste
Swallowed into space
It's the time it takes to blow
It's the ride we take
The many winged escape
It's the bough we break to blow away
To blow away
It's the times we say that no one's gonna take your place
It's a mistake to blow away
To blow away
We blow away
A Fine Frenzy's new song "Blow Away"
I just love this song, its beautifully written. Actually, I love all of A Fine Frenzy's music, its so poetic and dreamlike. Another thing I love is pink mailboxes with letters wrapped with blue ribbon. This isn't my mailbox, as much as I wish it were, but someday I shall have a grand old house with a long driveway and at the end of it shall be a Cotton candy pink mailbox. I love getting mail, especially letters (and magazines!), but sadly no one writes them anymore. For the longest time I was pen pals with my friend Allie, we would write to each other weekly, telling each other our hopes, our dreams, and everything else in between. The funniest thing was that we only live about five minutes away from each other, not a world away! For us though letter writing aloud us the opportunity to say things that we might not be able to face to face. I think I want to get back into letter writing, it may be considered a dying art with all this facebook, and twitter stuff but I'm going to keep it alive for as long as I can. I mean, who doesn't love getting something in a pink mailbox?
