free fall

She's a good girl, loves her mama 

Loves Jesus and America too  

She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis 

Loves horses and her boyfriend too

 

 
 

It's a long day living in Reseda 

There's a freeway runnin' through the yard  

And I'm a bad boy 'cause I don't even miss her 

I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

 

 
And I'm free, free fallin'  

Yeah, I'm free, free fallin'

 

 
And all the vampires walkin' through the valley  

Move west down Ventura Boulevard  

And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows  

And the good girls are home with broken hearts

 

 
And I'm free, free fallin'  

Yeah, I'm free, free fallin'

 

 
I wanna glide down over Mulholland 

I wanna write her name in the sky 

I'm gonna free fall out into nothin'  

Gonna leave this world for a while

 

 
And I'm free, free fallin' 

Yeah I'm free, free fallin'

glorious

There are times when you might feel aimless

And can’t see the places where you belong

But you will find that there is a purpose

It’s been there within you all along

And when you’re near it

You can almost hear it

It’s like a symphony just keep listening
And pretty soon you’ll start to figure out your part
Everyone plays a piece and there are melodies
In each one of us, oh, it’s glorious
You will know how to let it ring out

As you discover who you are

Others around you will start to wake up

To the sounds that are in their hearts

It’s so amazing

What we’re all creating

It’s like a symphony just keep listening
And pretty soon you’ll start to figure out your part
Everyone plays a piece and there are melodies
In each one of us, oh, it’s glorious

And as you feel, the notes build, you will see

It’s like a symphony just keep listening
And pretty soon you’ll start to figure out your part
Everyone plays a piece and there are melodies
In each one of us, oh, it’s glorious

“He knew why he wanted to kiss her. Because she was beautiful. And before that, because she was kind. And before that, because she was smart and funny. Because she was exactly the right kind of smart and funny. Because he could imagine taking a long trip with her without ever getting bored. Because whenever he saw something new and interesting, or new and ridiculous, he always wondered what she’d have to say about it—how many stars she’d give it and why.”

—Rainbow Rowell, Attachments
