FUCK YOU COMPUTER! FUCK YOU!

There was a nice long post I wrote, and lost, about wanting to skydive on my 18th birthday, and about how at exactly 3:17 today- I know because I wrote it down- I went from HATING Jewel's "standing still" with a passion to really, really liking it. Then I talked about how the best thing in the world, or one of the best things in the world, is the moment the meaning of a song clicks for you, and you realize that you understand and identify, all of a sudden. So rather than waste time giving you anymore detail than that on the post, lost forever to that damn little X in the corner, let's all bow our heads in a moment of a silence and give these lyrics a looksie. (Most of them are really fucking trite, but there are, like, three lines in there that are amazing. See if you can pick them out!)

Cuttin' through the darkest night in my two headlights
Trying to keep it clear, but I'm losing it here to the twilight
There's a dead end to my left, there's a burning bush to my right
You aren't in sight, you aren't in sight

Do you want me, like I want you?
Or am I standing still, beneath the darkened sky?
Or am I standing still, with the scenery flying by?
Or am I standing still, out of the corner of my eye?
Was that you passing me by?

Mothers on the stoop, boys in souped-up coupes on this hot summer night
Between fight and flight is the blind man's sight and the choice that's right
I roll the window down, feel like I'm gonna drown in this strange town
Feel broken down, I feel broken down

Do you need me, like I need you?
Or am I standing still, beneath the darkened sky?
Or am I standing still, with the scenery flying by?
Or am I standing still, out of the corner of my eye?
Was that you passing me by?

Sweet sorrow is the call tomorrow
Sweet sorrow is the call tomorrow

Do you love me, like I love you?
Or am I standing still, beneath the darkened sky?
Or am I standing still, with the scenery flying by?
Or am I standing still, out of the corner of my eye?
Was that you passing me by?
Are you passing me by? (Passing me by)
Do you want me? (Passing me by)
Do you need me, like I need you too?
And do you want me, like I want you?
Are you passing me by?







Well, are you? On with it!
