What's been on repeat? Here it is. An oldie...but a goodie :)
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall from a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, um
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there's time to grow, hey, hey
Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there
Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you
even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had . . . and me
Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way
Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated
Tell me, did you fall from a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself
Na na na na na na...

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
Here's the thing about this amazing song. It's a mixture of everything positive like happiness and hope, wonder and wandering, curiosity (not the type that kills the cat) and camaraderie, greatness and sublimity (I just love this word. haha). But at the same time, there's a mixture of negativity like fear, helplessness, and sadness.
Although this is so, they aren't the type of negativity that brings you down, and makes you want to kill yourself. They're the easy breezy type like... when you're sad because something is so beautiful. Have you ever felt that? Being sad because of beauty? I have. It's weird, but I've felt it a couple of times.
Then there's the feeling of being helpless. Like sadness, helplessness comes in various forms. It annoys the crap out of me when I can't control the outcome of the situation. Almost always, I'd like to know what's about to hit me and when I don't I get the worst kind of palpitations. But there's a kind of helplessness present that you should allow to consume you. By doing this, you leave space for someone to help you out. We all know that there are some things we can't fix ourselves and if we're too proud about it, no one's going to notice that you actually need assistance.
Lastly, there's fear. There's a type of fear you feel, because of change (may it be sudden or gradual) or because of something new. Like a new job, or a new semester in school, or when you're nominated for student body president and they're about to announce the winner... You fear the unkown, but there's a beauty in the unkown. It's not knowing the outcome. Doesn't that make it all the more exciting? Doesn't getting a raise, or receiving a 4.0, or hearing your name in the PA system after the words Student body president make it all the more worth the overtimes, sleepless thesis nights, and campaigning? At the same time if you don't get the best of the situation, it isn't all that bad. It's the type you get over in a month or a couple of hours, and you realize that there's something better out there for you. You realize that there's still hope. Which makes this fear pretty cool.
So the thing about this song is, for me it's complete because of it's incompleteness. It's a load of mumbo jumbo words mixed together, but it actually makes total sense once you listen to it after a thousand times and read the lyrics carefully.
So the thing about me is, I am a wanderer and I am incomplete.
I want drops of jupiter in my hair, and I wanna fall from a shooting star.
I wish I could act like summer and walk like rain!!!!
I want a soul vacation SO BAAAAD, and I want to trace my way to the constellation as well.
I'd love to be sweeped off my feet by anything wonderful, and I'd be honored to dance along the light of day.
I never want to be the man who was afraid to fly and never did land.
I want to sail across the sun
I want the WHOLE BRIDGE OF THE SONG...
... and I really, truly, absolutely want to find myself over and over, and again and again.
And after I've done all these things...I'd want it to be everything I wanted to find.
Train did a great job while writing this song.
Like I said in the beginning: I lose myself whenever I hear the first notes of this song, and as the 4 minutes and 16 seconds of the tune comes to an end...I find myself again.
Now, do you want to get lost with me? Na na na na na na :)
I lose myself everytime I hear the first notes of this song.

I need a fast car (fast car)
Candy coated red
Drive me all night and park it in my bed
I need a fast car (fast car)
I wanna see it zoom
Racetrack waiting in my bedroom
