Down

Sara Bareilles' song, Gravity...seems to fit my current funk, which I've been in for the past week and a half or so. I always come back to it when I'm out driving.

Gravity
Something always brings me back to you. It never takes too long.

No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.
You hold me without touch. You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.

CHORUS
Set me free, leave me be.
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile. When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.

CHORUS
Set me free, leave me be.
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're
everything I think I need here on the ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down.
You’re on to me, you’re on to me and all over…
Something always brings me back to you. It never takes too long.

I always seem to come back to this one song on her album, Little Voices. The sun shines through the clouds this morning and by the time I drive up and park my car, I feel as though "they're" crushing my spirit. Day by day, hour by hour, the monotonousness feeds on my soul and crushes it down to where it'll only be a macro piece of my original being.

Three little words, clumped into a phrase...Live.Laugh.Love...a phrase my CFAC really likes. It's a phrase which works and is true when all other things seem to fail.

Like that song... gonna have to check it out. BTW, really liked the needy kids even though it got deleted. not your job to make lunch!

PS, i was driving down the road the other day in Jersey and came across CFAC place. Not sure how it got named that and I wanted to take a pic but was driving and thought that would be a really bad idea considering my manuevering skills....
