Two for the price of one

Two that stuck out to me today. My my, my migraine has run me into quite the depressive and "feel sorry for me" state. If I wasn't at work, I'll end up wallowing!



Out Of My Mind
(written by Kristyn Osborn & John Shanks/performed by SheDaisy)

I live on caffeine, Camus
Eagles and airplanes
I decorate my lies with butterflies
That glimmer in the shimmering rain
They say you can't lose 'em all
But I'll sure give it a shot
I want more than enough
Yeah, I want moreI want more than enough
When enough is all I got

The truth is so unkind
But I'm good when I'm out of sight
Best when I'm out of my mind
I don't know what you'll find
But I'm good when I'm out of sight
Best when I'm outta my mind

I'm afraid of fallin' upwards
I'm afraid of my own age
I'm a paragon with an apron on
And I'm beautiful on an empty page
Buried in a dresser drawer
Is a rusted, ravaged heart
And the piercing regrets
Yeah, they pierce me
All the piercing regrets
And false starts

The truth is so unkind
But I'm good when I'm out of sight
Best when I'm out of my mind
I don't know what you'll find
But I'm good when I'm out of sight
Best when I'm out of my mind

I can be as strong as Morphine
I can lay my head down where I kneel
Sometimes I need a broken bone
To remind me how to feel

The truth is so unkind
But I'm good when I'm out of sight
Best when I'm out of my mind
I don't know what you'll find
But I'm good when I'm out of sight
Best when I'm out of my mind



Wonderful
(written & performed by Chantal Kreviazuk)

I'm alone is this life, and these old jeans are too tight
and now I can't pick my feet off the floor
I try to laugh but I cry
my dignity is undignified, guess I'm really on my own
love is like a little boy, no I'm not paranoid
but I'm on to you, yeah yeah
well I'm not seventeen and I don't want to be
so why am I hiding

Is it too late to call you on the phone
too late to tell you I'm alone
I want to wake you from another lonely night
too late to wonder where you are
too late to hold you in my arms
cause if you're looking for wonderful
I'm wonderful

I'm a very simple girl
and I don't fit into this world, the city lights leave me in a daze
and even though we've never met, you know what I'm trying to forget
somethings you can't change

Is it too late to call you on the phone
too late to tell you I'm alone
I want to wake you from another lonely night
too late to wonder where you are
too late to hold you in my arms
cause if you're looking for wonderful
I'm wonderful

I'm underneath
underneath
I'm underneath I'm underneath
