I've never ever ever ever EVER been one to identify with lyrics, but tonight I had my iTunes on random and heard a song that SPEAKS TO ME. Because this has been me for the past month.

"A Summer Wasting" by Belle & Sebastian

Summer in winter
Winter in springtime
You heard the birds sing
Everything will be fine

I spent the summer wasting
The time was passed so easily
But if the summer’s wasted
How come that I could feel so free
I spent the summer wasting
The sky was blue beyond compare
A photograph of myself
Is all I have to show for

Seven weeks of river walkways
Seven weeks of staying up all night

I spent the summer wasting
The time was passed so pleasantly
Say cheerio to books now
The only things I’ll read are faces
1 spent the summer wasting
Under a canopy of

Seven weeks of river walkways
Seven weeks of reading papers
Seven weeks of feeling guilty
Seven weeks of staying up all night

Summer in winter
Winter is springtime
You heard the bird say
Everything will be fine

Identifying with lyrics is a double bladed sword... it makes you feel like someone understands yet makes whatever emotion you're feeling stronger... usually it's woe, that's why I see it as a bad thing...

I don't like knowing that a song can sum up a person. I'd like to think that humans are more complex than song lyrics.

(DON'T ANYBODY RESPOND TO THIS SAYING THAT LYRICS COME FROM HUMAN COMPLEXITIES - THAT IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE)
