So it’s been a while since I’ve had an obsessive song (yeah, a whole two or three weeks), but this is definitely the current one:
Vertical Horizon
Sunrays and Saturdays
open the window
let the sunset in
if only for the last time
let me see you smile again
i’ll take my records
you can have your books
i’m sorry i never read them
but it says so much about us
always trying
to make love out of care
the perfect recipe
but something wasn’t there
chorus:
i wish you
sunrays and saturdays
perfect starry nights
sweet dreams and moonbeams
and a love that’s warm and bright
sunrays and saturdays
friendship strong and true
oceans of blue and a room with a view
to live the life you choose
you’ll write me letters
i’ll call you on the phone
a wire away from touching
and never quite alone
we’ll get to know ourselves again
and we’ll heal our hearts
it’s not that we’re bad together
we’re just better off apart
always trying
to have one and one make two
and even though it never worked
i still feel love for you
repeat chorus
(1:17 a.m.)
California is good, I guess. Actually, I am supposing that I really don’t have anything to complain about. The weather is nice and cool, and almost always sunny. The campus is beautiful, full of trees and grass and random racoons. I made the flute ensemble. I am learning how to play the piano. I have been picked as a new columnist for the Stanford Daily. I am surrounded by extremely smart people who are really great teachers as well. My classes are interesting. The only thing missing is people. But I am meeting new people every day, at dinner and in class and at meetings. I have found girl friends in Emily and Valerie and Susan. I have Nick. I’ve hung out with Tico a few times. It’s a slow process.
So I think that life is good.
