Perks Quote #2

I just thought about the word "special" ... I was very grateful to have heard it again. Because I guess we all forget sometimes. And I think everyone is special in their own way. I really do.

Love always,
Charlie

Perks Quote #1

This will be the first of many quotes from Stephen Chbosky's "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" because it is a wonderful book. If you haven't read it, you should.

I just need to know that someone out there listens and understands ... I need to know that these people exist.

Love always,
Charlie

Head Over Feet

I had no choice
But to hear you
You stated your case
Time and again
I thought about it

You treat me like
I'm a princess
I'm not used to
Liking that
You ask how my day was

You've already won me over
In spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall
Head over feet
And don't be surprised if I love you
For all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

Your love is thick
And it swallowed me whole
You're so much braver
Than I gave you credit for
That's not lip service

You've already won me over
In spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall
Head over feet
And don't be surprised if I love you
For all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

You are the bearer o
Of unconditional things
You held your breath a
And the door for me
Thanks for your patience

You're the best listener
That I've ever met
You're my best friend
Best friend with benefits
What took me so long

I've never felt
This healthy before
I've never wanted
Something rational
I am aware now
I am aware now

You've already won me over
In spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall
Head over feet
And don't be surprised if I love you
For all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

You've already won me over
In spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall
Head over feet
And don't be surprised if I love you
For all that you are
I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

I couldn't help it
It's all your fault

Live for Today

Show me the road and I will find my own
You build your bridges and I'll burn 'em down
So far away and all alone I roam
I'm takin' chances in the here and now

And all you wonder is who's for sale
Well you won't know now and I won't tell
You're always hiding throwing up your hands
While heroes ride again

And god only knows all the places I've been
But I love this life that I'm living in
I won't look back to regret yesterday
We're not handed tomorrow so I'll live for today

Another day and yet another's done
Spending a life living within the past
I'll take the chance before the chance has gone
You never know when it may be your last

But still you wonder who's for sale
Well you won't know now and I won't tell
You're always hiding throwing up your hands
While heroes ride again

And god only knows all the places I've been
But I love this life that I'm living in
I won't look back to regret yesterday
We're not handed tomorrow so I'll live for today

We'll never know it when we run out of time
'Til it's all over with
And there'll be no where to run
We'll never say it but we're over out heads
And we're drowning inside
All of these things we've said

And god only knows all the places I've been
But I love this life that I'm living in
I won't look back to regret yesterday
We're not handed tomorrow so I'll live for today

God only knows all the places I've been
But I love this life that I'm living in
I won't look back to regret yesterday
We're not handed tomorrow so I'll live for today

Doesn't Remind Me

I walk the streets of Japan till I get lost
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
With a graveyard tan carrying a cross
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like studying faces in a parking lot
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like driving backwards in the fog
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything

The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need to forget

I like gypsy moths and radio talk
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like gospel music and canned applause
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like colorful clothing in the sun
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I ilke hammering nails and speaking in tongues
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything

The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need

Bend and shape me
I love the way you are
Slow and sweetly
Like never before
Calm and sleeping
We won't stir up the past
So descretely
We won't look back

The things that I've loved the things that I've lost
The things I've held sacred that I've dropped
I won't lie no more you can bet
I don't want to learn what I'll need

I like throwing my voice and breaking guitars
Cause it doesn't remind me of anything
I like playing in the sand what's mine is ours
If it doesn't remind me of anything
