That's okay, you don't need to win anyways...

Bad day, looking for a way,
home, looking for the great escape.
Gets in his car and drives away,
far from all the things that we are.
Puts on a smile and breathes it in
and breathes it out, he says,
bye bye bye to all of the noise.
Oh, he says, bye bye bye to all of the noise.

Doo doo doo doo doo noo noo
Doo doo doo doo doo noo noo noo noo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo noo noo noo

Hey child, things are looking down.
That’s okay, you don’t need to win anyways.
Don’t be afraid, just eat up all the gray
and it will fade all away.
Don’t let yourself fall down.

Doo doo doo doo doo noo noo
Doo doo doo doo doo noo noo noo noo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo noo noo noo

Bad day, looking for the great escape.
He says, bad day, looking for the great escape.
On a bad day, looking for the great escape,
the great escape.


Not that i've had too terrible of a day, but I did work just a hair over 8 hours, so i guess i'm just in the state now where I just wanna lie in bed and be on my computer and do absolutely nothing. Although, when this happens I tend to find myself stuck on Tumblr for hours on end and then my mind starts to wonder and think...and that is never good for my self esteem. ever. haha. And then I realized I hadn't been listening to music this whole time! What theee. So i open up iTunes, press play and this is the first thing that plays. i haven't heard this song in a while, but for some reason when it started to play just now i really loved it. It was/is mellow and peaceful and a little bit comforting. I don't really know what exactly it is, but i like it. 
Although, this is how i've felt a lot during this semester. With school, interning, and work, it can wear a person down...and make you look for a great escape, away from the things that I am (student/intern/shift leader/friend). And then bye to all the noise...those are my favorite moments. Every now and again I find myself driving outside the city between the big houses, nature, and fields, away from all my weekly duties I have and I can feel free for a minute. A minute to picture life without all your responsibilities and how enjoyable that would be. But sooner or later you need to turn the car around and head back to the city, noise, and your jobs. bummer.  Although, i do find myself thinking on these drives...how my life currently is and about the future, how i would want my life to end up or whatnot; which is basically the second verse. "Hey child, things are looking down. That’s okay, you don’t need to win anyways. Don’t be afraid, just eat up all the gray and it will fade all away. Don’t let yourself fall down." This is what i need to remind myself. The more I think about the song, the more comforting it is and the more i like it. 
Looking for the great escape...
