the drifter and the gypsy

I can't wait to quench my wanderlust thirst and breathe European air in just a matter of hours. to hear the buzz of languages you don't speak behind you, to people watch, to walk by rows of duty free items, to panic that Delta lost your luggage AGAIN, to use the weird blanket that barely counts of a blanket at all, to walk all over til your feet are about to fall off, to being lost, to learning, to questioning, to reading, to eating like a queen and drinking like i weigh 250 pounds, to meeting people that have the potential to change my life. i am so ready for ALL of it.

The train is almost here

This decision seems so clear

I can feel the habit cutting like a knife

In the end I know that it is gonna drive right into me

Cause I’m a drifter and I know that doesn’t do me any good

Moving on from place to place, never staying where I should

I left him just to leave

No I left him cause he needed me...

Cause I’m a gypsy and I know that doesn’t do me any good

Moving on from place to place, stealing hearts just cause I could

So maybe I am a drifter and a gypsy. But I am ME. (Woah, Ashlee Simpson just got a shout out by accident. oops.) Traveling, exploring is exactly what I want to do. I love running. I am running for the thrill of it. but you know what? i am also dream chasing. in order to chase your dreams you have to start somewhere. you have to take a step. I get to run away from some big bull shit that's been going on here AND take a leap of faith that could turn out to cut down on the ambiguity of the next few years. Both. Running AWAY and running TO. Oh hey, what i am about to be doing, walking on a dream. and I'm just in awe of what's in front of me. how could you not be?

Walking on a dream

How can I explain?

Talking to myself

Will I see again?

We are always running for the thrill of it, thrill of it

Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it

On and on and on we are calling out and out again

Never looking down 

I'm just in awe of what's in front of me

Living in a rhythm where the minutes working overtime

Don't stop just keep going on...
