Lullaby

The combination of sleep deprivation and rainy days has me in a melancholy, romantic, artsy-fartsy mood.


I’m sitting here, behind a desk, under fluorescent crap-lights, and all I can remember is the lingering feel of my freshly washed duvet wrapped tight around my face last night, hair still wet from the shower I took just minutes before hopping into bed, washing away the long day’s tiredness and humidity. I hadn’t slept that good in a long, long time. Something about the achy tiredness of hard work, the smell of clean cotton and just washed hair and the rain pattering outside my window on the much ignored grass – what a beautiful thing.


Right now I wish I was home again, in pj pants and a hoodie, under my duvet, this song by Nickelcreek softly lulling me in the background


“When You Come Back Down”

You got to leave me now, you got to go alone
You got to chase a dream, one that's all your own
Before it slips away
When you're flyin' high, take my heart along
I'll be the harmony to every lonely song
That you learn to play


When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down

I'll keep lookin' up, awaitin' your return
My greatest fear will be that you will crash and burn
And I won't feel your fire
I'll be the other hand that always holds the line
Connectin' in between your sweet heart and mine
I'm strung out on that wire

And I'll be on the other end,
To hear you when you call
Angel, you were born to fly,
If you get too high
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll catch you when you fall

Your memory's the sunshine every new day brings
I know the sky is calling
Angel, let me help you with your wings

When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare

I'll still be there
When you come back down
Take every chance you dare,
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down
