packing, packing.

i'm spending my last day in burlington, vermont packing, getting distracted, not showering because our water is being weird, and listening to lots and lots of ben kweller. i've always been a fan but, until recently, hadn't been listening to him very often. lately, i've been listening more, and listening to songs i haven't yet heard and i'm falling more in love. his lyrics are amazing. they're real. they're authentic but simple and relatable. today the song i'm relating to is nothing happening but currently, the lyrics i'm loving are those to the song, thirteen. have a listen below and take note of the lyrics. they're fantastic. xoxo. maggie.



we've been in the rain, we've been on the mountainwe've been 'round the fire and fancy hotels.
drank water from farm wellswe sang with the choiri kissed your dry lipswe jumped off the high cliffsand splashed down below.
skin to skin in the salty rivermade love in the shadows.oh, read books to each otherread the mind of the other.
flew one thousand jets,we laughed and we criedat movies and real lifeand our ridiculous bets.
we danced in the moonlight at midnightwe pressed against back doors and wood floorsand you never faked it.and frequently, we ignored our lovebut we could never mistake it, oh-
we met on the front porchfell in love on the phonewithout the physical wreckyou gave me the necklacethat used to hang around your mother's neck.
we questioned religions, gave bread to the pigeonswe learned how to pray.we stood by the oceanturned our hearts into one.
we laid in bed all day, heywe skipped on the sidewalkskipped stones on the waterskipped town.
we've seen the sunrise with new eyeswe've seen the damage of gossip and true lieswe've seen the sun go downhad passionate make-outswith passionate freak-outs.
we built this world of our ownit was in the back of the taxiwhen you told me you loved meand that i wasn't alone.
