On the verge...

This song is up for interpretation. It has been my new favorite. I think I like it because... 1.) tomorrow kicks off my final semester at ACC. Gonna be a grown-up again with a real job soon enough. 75 days till graduation. Can't wait! 2.) I just feel like something good, something big, might be just around the corner. Is it a job? Is it an eventual apartment? Is it love? I'm not scared of #1 or 2. In fact I am quite intrigued and full of exciting for what the second half of 2010 might bring. This song echos being on the verge, the anticipation of what is coming around the corner. So as many times before, I am looking fear in the face and saying I don't care- BRING IT!


Glitter In The Air, by Pink

Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don't care?

It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg, the sun before the burn
The thunder before lightning, the breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table, the walk before the run
The breath before the kiss and the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee, calling me sugar
You called me sugar

Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself
Will it ever get better than tonight? Tonight


(Warning, this performance was from the Grammy's and she strips down to barely anything on, but I was fascinated by the acrobatic spinning while simultaneously singing.)

I am amazed that she can sing AND "swing" at the same time. I'd be HORRIFIED!
