I woke up yesterday morning on the wrong side of the bed (figuratively speaking, that is). I was tired, and for some reason, I felt defeated. My body and spirit wanted to stay in bed and mope. Life's so hard. I just wish that it could be easier. I didn't want to deal with opposition of any sort. I sulked around at work and felt so... cloudy, as if I was in a daze. I smashed my finger moving a plant cart because I was off in some other world. Thankfully, eating lunch at an Indian buffet made me feel better and snap out of it.
As I was listening to my iPod today, I heard a song I've heard about 100 times, but I finally GOT IT. I actually paid attention to the lyrics, and it was just what I needed to hear.
Stop This Train
John Mayer
No I'm not color blind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind but...
I just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train I want to get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly won't someone stop this train
Don't know how else to say it, don't want to see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own
Stop this train
I want to get off and go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't but honestly won't someone stop this train
So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game to find away to say that life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man
Said help me understand
He said turn 68, you'll renegotiate
Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
Don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly we'll never stop this train
See once in a while when it's good
It'll feel like it should
And they're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
'til you cry when you're driving away in the dark.
Singing stop this train I want to get off and go home again
I can't take this speed it's moving in
I know I can't
Cause now I see I'll never stop this train
