I can’t say I’ve been feeling terribly out of it lately, because, well, I haven’t. To be honest, though, today (starting last night) was quite possibly the saddest day I’ve had in years… This sudden–not outburst, but–curtain of dreary melancholia just fell on my mind. These aren’t particularly new or novel feelings because I’ve felt bad before but I don’t understand why I should be grieving at the moment. My calculating self is sure there is very little reason to grieve (ever) but my ‘other’ side isn’t so sure. I don’t really feeling like sharing anymore at the moment, so listen to some Daphne Loves Derby. There are other Daphne Loves Derby songs to better capture my thoughts right now, but hit the jump to read the lyrics anyway.

Lately I’ve been thinking so strangely about the clouds,
And how they seem to slowly fade away.
Maybe someday we will find a way to disappear,
Just me and you, on silver lining dreams.
Oh, how could I survive without your love,
And the hope you bring?
Oh, even when the sky is falling down,
I know I have you, and that’s all I need.
Lately I’ve been hoping you could can stay with me,
And I could hold you close ’til the end of time.
Maybe someday we will grab some change and run away,
But for now I’ll learn to say goodbye.
Oh, how could I survive without your love,
And the hope you bring?
Oh, even when the world is breaking down,
I know I have you, and that’s all I need.
Oh, she is my ev’rything.
Oh, she is all I need.
Oh, how could I survive without your love,
And the hope you bring?
Oh, even when the world just falls apart,
I know I have you, and it’s all I need.
