Songs-of-the-Day

Some great songs I've been hearing on the radio...

Breakfast at Tiffany's by Deep Blue Something

You say that we've got nothing in common
No common ground to start from
And we're falling apart
You'll say the world has come between us
Our lives have come between us
But I know you just don't care

And I said what about "Breakfast at Tiffany's?
She said, "I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it."
And I said, "Well, that's the one thing we've got."


Breathe by Anna Nalick

2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?,
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season"
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason

'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe

May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
"Just a day" he said down to the flask in his fist,
"Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year."
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.

Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe

There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.

2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to

But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
woah breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe.

I've completed ONE of my lab reports! I did it this morning. Oh, I slept real early last night so I didn't do work at all yesterday! I'm going to NUS to study (yes, on a Sunday) with Sandra and maybe MJ later. This will force me to do some work. Haven't met up with Sandra in ages. Tsk. I keep wanting to study in school these days. If I'm home, I'm distracted with songs swimming in my head, the need to download them, glue my eyes to the lyrics and blog about them.

I'm back from my day out! The time is 10.01pm! Sandra and I went to school to study. After that, we went to check out if the basketball courts were under renovation. Unfortunately, they still were. We then thought to go rock climbing but there were people in the climbing gym. We were desperate to play so we decided to scout for a court at Khatib! We went to Khatib to shoot some hoops. It's been a while since we last did that (more than a year ago I think). It was damn fun! I'm so rusty now!!! Haha. I was too terrified to try a 3-point shot until Sandra asked me to. Guess what, my first 3-pointer was a chop! Perfect shot into the hoop! Woohoo! Ok, we're gonna lead a healthy life. Our weekends will be filled with mugging in school and bball! Shiok.
