Roxilla

While 99% of the time I’m quite content to live out my selfish single fantasies, with a hot tourist to divert me once in a while, I am not entirely immune to wistful thoughts. I have no idea what I really think of love anymore, and to be honest, right now I don’t know if I want to know. My life is only just starting to go the way I want it to go, and so much is ahead of me… being derailed right now would just be a disaster.

So for now, I will have my moments of wistfulness… I will allow myself to feel a little sad when I listen to Gavin Rossdale and I will even allow a flicker of longing for something meaningful. But then I’ll take a deep breath, and think of how much I have going on right now, and how many gorgeous Brazilian boys will be flocking to the city next month, and I’ll remember why I am trying resolutely to stay thirty, thirty and thriving.

Over to Gavin now…

Gavin Rossdale – Love Remains the Same

a thousand times i’ve seen you standing
gravity like a lunar landing
make me want to run till i find you
shut the world away from here, drift to you, you’re all i hear
everything we know fades to black

half the time the world is ending, truth is i am done pretending

i never thought that i had any more to give
pushing me so far here i am without you
drink to all that we have lost, mistakes that we have made
everything will change, love remains the same
find a place where we escape
take you with me for a space
a city bus that sounds just like a fridge
walk the streets through seven bars
i had to find just out where you are
the faces seen to blur they’re all the same

half the time the world is ending, truth is i am done pretending

i never thought that i had any more to give
you’re pushing me so far here i am without you
drink to all that we have lost, mistakes that we have made
everything will change, love remains the same

so much more to say, so much to be done
don’t you trick me out, we shall overcome
cause our love stays ablaze

we should have had the sun
could have been inside
instead we’re over here

half the time the world is ending, truth is i am done pretending
too much time to love defending, you and i are done pretending

i never thought that i had any more to give
you’re pushing me so far here i am without you
drink to all that we have lost, mistakes that we have made
everything will change, everything will change
