Details in the Fabric

Saved message:
Hey, what's up... Uh... I lost it, I just lost it. It's one of those days. I fucking lost it, I just blew up, fucking, at my whole entire.. fucking apartment building. I told everyone to go fuck themselves. I'm just having a hard time hanging on today and uh, fuck it, I don't know...

Calm down,
Deep breaths...
And get yourself dressed
Instead...
Of running around
And pulling all your threads and...
Breaking yourself up

If it's a broken part, replace it
If it's a broken arm then brace it
If it's a broken heart then face it

And hold your own,
Know your name
And go your own way.
Hold your own,
Know your own name
And go your own way.

And everything... will be fine.

Hang on...
Help is on the way
Stay strong...
I'm doing everything

Hold your own,
Know your name
And go your own way.
Hold your own,
Know your name
And go your own way.

And everything,
Everything, will be fine.
Everything...

Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling?

Are the things that make you blow
Hell, no reason, go on and scream
If you're shocked it's just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing.

Everything.. will be fine
Everything.. in no time at all
Everything...

Hold your own,
And know your name
And go your own way.

(Hold your own) Are the details in the fabric
(Know your name) Are the things that make you panic
(Go your own way) Are your thoughts results of static cling?

(Hold your own) Are the details in the fabric
(Know your name) Are the things that make you panic
(Go your own way) Is it Mother Nature's sewing machine?

(Hold your own) Are the things that make you blow
(Know your name) Hell no reason go on and scream
(Go your own way) If you're shocked it's just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing

Everything.. will be fine
Everything.. in no time at all
Hearts will hold

Yo, what's up man? I uh, I don't know I just wanted to say that uh, everything's cool with me now, I mean.. I just think, I think I'll always be funky, can't stop being funky, but I guess just uh, we just deal with it how it comes. Deal with the humps, take the jumps. I feel like you're an island of reality in an ocean of diarrhea. And I love you buddy. Ok. Bye.

In Repair

This is such a fantastic song. More to come this week.

Too many shadows in my room
Too many hours in this midnight
Too many corners in my mind
So much to do to set my heart right

Ohh it's taking so long
I could be wrong, I could be ready
Ohh but if I take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am... in repair
I am... in repair

Stood on the corner for a while
To wait for the wind to blow down on me
Hoping it takes with it my old ways
And brings some brand new look upon me

Ohh it's taking so long
I could be wrong, I could be ready
Ohh but if I take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady
I am... in repair
I am... in repair

And now I’m walking in a park
And all of the birds, they dance below me
Maybe when things turn green again
It will be good to say you know me

Ohh it's taking so long
I could be wrong, I could be ready
Ohh but if I take my heart's advice
I should assume it's still unsteady

Oh yeah, I’m never really ready
Oh yeah, I’m never really ready

I'm in repair, I’m not together but I’m getting there
I'm in repair, I’m not together but I'm getting there
(repeat til fade)

Why Not

For the record, I am not a Hilary Duff fan, but her lyric writers must be pretty decent.

You think you're going nowhere
When you're walking down the street
Acting like you just don't care
When life could be so sweet

Why you wanna be like that
As if there's nothing new
You're not fooling no one
You're not even fooling you

So walk a little slower
And open up your eyes
Sometimes it's so hard to see
The good things passing by

There may never be a sign
No flashing neon light
Telling you to make your move
Or when the time is right

(So) Why not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Do a crazy dance
If you lose a moment
You might lose a lot
So why not
Why not

Why not take a crazy chance [X2]

You always dress in yellow
When you want to dress in gold
Instead of listening to your heart
You do just what you're told

You keep waiting where you are
For what you'll never know
Let's just get in to your car
And go, baby go

(So) Why not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Do a crazy dance
If you lose a moment
You might lose a lot
So... why not
Why not

Oh... oh
I could be the one for you
Oh... yeah
Maybe yes
Maybe no
Oh...
It could be the thing to do
What I'm saying is
You gotta let me know

You'll never get to heaven, or even to L.A.
If you don't believe there's a way

Why not
Take a star from the sky
Why not
Spread your wings and fly
It might take a little
And it might take a lot
But why not
Why not

Why not
Take a crazy chance
Why not
Do a crazy dance
If you lose a moment
You might lose a lot
So why not
Why not

-Hilary Duff
