How I Go

YellowCard - How I Go

I could tell you the wildest of tales
My friend the giant and traveling sales
Tell you all the times that I failed
The years all behind me
The stories exhaled.
And I'm drying out
Crying out
This isn't how I go

I could tell you of a man not so tall
Who said life's a circus and so we are small
Tell you of a girl that I saw
I froze in the moment and she changed it all

And I'm drying out
Crying out
This isn't how I go
Hurry now
Lay me down
And let these waters flow
Flow...

Son I am not everything you thought that I would be
But every story I have told is part of me

And you keep the air in my lungs
Floating along as a melody comes
And my heart beats like timpani drums
Keeping the time while a symphony strums
And I'm drying out
Crying out
This isn't how I go
Hurry now
Lay me down
And let these waters flow...
Flow....
Let it flow
Let it flow

Son I am not everything you thought that I would be
But every story I have told is part of me
Son I leave you now but you have so much more to do
And every story I have told is part of you

This song has been TORMENTING me for days. Ever since I heard Emmx singing it during PW, I just couldnt figure out the title or the words- it drove me nuts. And when I got the title, it wasn't avaliable for download ANYWHERE. The elusive song hid from me and evaded all my attempts to acquire it until I asked Emmx to send it to me. This is a very strange song. Not that its a bad song. No, its excellent, Im absolutely smitten. But my usual choice of songs either make sense to me or have meaningful lyrics. This one did'nt mean nuts until I went to do abit of research intothe movie that inspired this song. Big Fish. Sounds familiar? Big Fish is a beautiful movie- not that I've watched it. But now this song's allure has been amplified hundredfold I just cannot stop listening to it. Becoming such an emo fellar.

Over the past 4 days, a ton has happened. On Tuesday we had our class bbq at Oli's house! Pity for the 5 odd people who didnt turn up because it was an absolute blast! Words fail to describe how it was you just have to be there to know it. We got alot closer and [somewhat] steeled ourselves for the next day... 25th Oct Wed. Results Day!! Very sad day, not everyone made it although majority did. Yolanda and Shawn Wee had to retain- I am shocked. Why Yolanda?! Why Shawn?! Why any at all? I know Shawn from PW, he may be a little distracted now and then but he does work hard at what he does. I dont know alot about Yolanda, but... I have nothing more to say about this issue. We may have split but what has passed will forever remain. 061A02, Never Forget. As we forge ahead to year 2, I wonder what amazing and terrifying fates await us... We can only but wait and see. Today was commendation day! Just a large long waste of my time- and Im a prize winner! How much more boring it would be for the audience who aren't winning anything at all. The cheerleaders were hilarious. Someone should have taken a video of it~

Best in GP, big whoop. Getting Es and Ds for everything else- there was little to no pride going on stage to be a "prize-winner". GP wont take me through the A levels... my H2s will. And currently I suck big time at econs and history. Especially history~ my gosh. I dont know how they moderated a bunch of fails into a passing promo grade. But I do know for sure it will not happen again at the A-levels. Yes, Im scared. But I can only but press on. A legacy to live up to. We'll continue making A2 the best arts class :)

And you will always shine~
