Favorite Quote:
"To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. Not to dare is to lose oneself." -S. Kierkegaard


We sat in the grass
then we laid down
and we sank into
we sank into deep blue

the deep water in front
the deep sky above
the buildings all around
and the sprinklers in the ground

came to life

(chorus)
droplets fell
and so did I
from the clouds
and me into your eyes

could we have laughed
harder that night?
as i carried you to dry land
as i carried you tight

now you're leaving
college beckons
and i can't do anything
to pass the seconds

they're limping by

(chorus)
droplets fell
and so did I
me to my knees
and tears from her eyes

This is my valedictory
say goodbye, i know you'll miss me
just don't come back too soon
you can't, of course
I'm already waiting for you

true story, actually. Me and my prom date, and my first girlfriend, went to this little grass patch surrounded by beautiful buildings and fountains and a lake in front. we laid in the grass for a while. and the sprinklers came on. i ran and left her in the water though. we were so careless. It was amazing. She was amazing.
