Wild Horses

I know I'm meltin, it's easy to do

Passion you fed me, I gave in to you

Graceless fingers, you know how I am

Babe, you can't change me by bein' my man

Wild horses couldn't drag me away

Wild wild horses couldn't drag me away

Caffeine kisses, it's pleasin to you

Your touch is tender, tender n true

You have your freedom n' all of my time

But I just can't love you, ev'n if I tried

Wild horses couldn't drag you away

Wild wild horses we'll ride them someday

--------------------------------------------------------

On my way home
With a bubbling smile on my face
I looked out of the window at the billboards and I see pain
In all the poses, in all the eyes, pain.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The road was untarred
But it was ours

And I could see him trying to destroy it
Frustrated,
I saved it from under a lorry,
I saved it.

And then his family came, his daughters,
'I left him out for 5 minutes, just 5', she says

I ignore the call from the boys landline, thinking to myself,
Today's a mess!

Somedays you wake up happy and somedays you don't.
Somedays make you smile and somedays just don't!

‘…lips touching mine in a photobooth…’

‘I can see paradise by the dashboard light…’

So I can go into my 22nd year of existence without the ‘Never been kissed’ sign on my forehead…that’s a good thing right?

IBuMmer!

Missing you.

I don’t miss the place, I don’t miss the people, I don’t miss the work, I miss the girl I used to be. I still wake up at 2 sometimes and panic cos I missed my cab!

I miss whining bout Hazel Hicks and flirting with John Kennedy. I miss emails that start with ‘Kindly note…’ I miss the mute button ;)


Let me be myself.

I have to let me be myself and in some way hold on the girl everyone admired. I have to move on without moving away from her.

Giving up on the past doesn’t feel right. Letting go seems more appropriate.

Starting from scratch isn’t necessary, changing architects is!

You’ve left the two towers behind. The ruins don’t matter anymore. You have to decide how happy to be in the new place.


Never in doubt.

So you won’t call the girl who would tell you what it would have been like if you had stayed. You won’t go back to complete what you started. Opportunities you passed by will remain untouched like dinner that never got served.

Already Gone.

He called to say it's over. My last working day will be counted as the 23rd and even though I got paid for last month, it's over. They are going to terminate my contract and that will be the end of me as an IBMer!
