wanna get away?

i do. i wanna get away--that is. just anywhere but here seems like a good idea right now. eric and i are talking about drastic changes to life as we know it. not just like cutting the cable but moving, selling stuff, cutting back and making room for things we choose instead of things we chose when we were still unsure of what we wanted. so in the midst of all this dreaming and scheming sometimes my feet come off the ground and silly things seem possible. but wait--maybe they are.

this song sings of my silly delusions...

sell all my things--rosie thomas

In a little while I'll feel better
Gonna travel around the world
Gonna see it all

Gonna go to Paris, maybe Rome
But I'll feel better miles away from home,
Gotta figure some things out

So sell all my things, I'm not coming home
There's nothing there to keep me there
Just heartache and panic and worries and things that'll bring me down
My head feels much clearer being here

In a little while I'll feel better
Gonna spill my heart to every stranger in every town
I'll visit castles in Ireland, have some fella play the violin and play a song for me

So sell all my things, I'm not coming home
There's nothing there to keep me there
Just heartache and panic and worries and things that'll bring me down
My head feels much clearer being here
