A lot of stuff

Burn it down till the embers smoke on the ground
And start new when your heart is an empty room
With walls of the deepest blue

Home's face: how it ages when you're away
Spring blooms and you find the love that's true
But you don't know what now to do
Cause the chase is all you know
And she stopped running months ago

And all you see
Is where else you could be when you're at home
Out on the street are so many possibilities to not be alone

The flames and smoke climbed out of every window
And disappeared with everything that you held dear
And you shed not a single tear for the things that you didn't need
'Cause you knew you were finally free

'Cause all you see is where else you could be when you're at home
Out on the street are so many possibilities to not be alone

And all you see is where else you could be when you're at home
There on the street are so many possibilities to not be alone

- Death Cab for Cutie, "Your Heart Is An Empty Room"

I love this song. When I listen to it, it seems like Ben Gibbard wrote it just for me. It's pretty much what I think- I don't have a lot of friends and a lot of times I do wish I could be somewhere else, and with someone, whether it be a boyfriend or just my best friend who moved away. I know this makes me sound emo, and I'm sorry, but I'm also pretty sure no one reads this so it's OK.
There are a lot of songs that mean a lot to me, some just because they're beautiful, but some because they have meaning for me. This is one of the ones with meaning.
I've been listening to it all the time lately. I want to tell people about it and make Rachel listen to it, but she'd just make fun of it. She likes some of the same music as me, but music is different for her. It doesn't seem to mean much to her, it's just what she listens to if she doesn't happen to be doing something else. Also, she likes Paramore, but that's a different issue.

I had an amazing time at swim lessons today. It was cold out and no one wanted to go in the water but me, so we tried to get each other in the water. One of the guy JUs (junior instructor) was being a wuss so one of us pushed him in and I put his flip-flops in the water. I made sure they weren't leather or anything first though. :P Actually, I was doing a favor for him because the shoes will look better and smell better after the chlorine. Ha.
