I have been meaning to write something because it’s been so long, but I can’t think of anything to say. so here is Jewel to say what I can’t.
I hear the clock, it’s eight a.m. (chris edit version)
I feel so far from where I’ve been
I got my eggs and my pancakes too
I got my maple syrup, everything is new. (Chris edit version)
I break the yolks, make a smiley face
I really like it in my brand new place (Chris edit version)
I wipe the spots off the mirror
Don’t leave the keys in the door
Never put wet towels on the floor anymore’ cause
Dreams last so long
even after you’re gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
this was meant for me (chris edit version)
And I was meant to grow (chris edit version)
I called my momma, she was out for a smoke (chris edit version)
Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn’t wanna talk
So I picked up a paper, it was more bad news
More hearts being broken & people being used
Put on my coat in the pouring rain
I saw a movie it just wasn’t the same
‘Cause it was crappy and I was sad and (chris edit version)
It made me very oh so mad ’cause (chris edit version)
Dreams last so long
Even after you’re gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
this was meant for me (chris edit version)
And I was meant to grow. (chris edit version)
I go about my business, I’m doin fine
Besides what would I say if I had you on the line
Same old story, not much to say
Hearts get broken, everyday.
I brush my teeth and put the cap back on
I know you hate it when I leave the light on
Put on my pjs and hop into bed
I’m half alive but I feel mostly dead
I try and tell myself it’ll be all right
I just shouldn’t think anymore tonight ’cause
Dreams last so long
Even after you’re gone
I know you love me
And soon I know you will see
this was meant for me (chris edit version)
And I was meant to grow (chris edit version)
Yeah…. this was meant for me and I was meant to grow. (chris edit version)

ha! every time i move into a new place i get new order’s “regret” stuck in my head. well, the refrain of it anyway.
“I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day that would be a start
I would not complain about my wounded heart”
and now i must go back to my memories of meeting jewel when she played at yab yum YEARS ago. she liked my hair. told me that it looked like candy…
