A companion track, or B Side, to Mtngirl's Repulsively Attractive thread.
I start you with this:
I wonder how much a plane ticket to Japan costs.
I wonder why nobody looks for those people.

no idea what your text means, but Gillian Welch's music is pretty much the definition of beautifully sad.Quote:

I've been out walking
I don't do too much talking, these days –
These days ... These days I seem to think a lot,
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to

And an open door was to a girl like the stars are to the sky
It's funny how the world lives up to all your expectations
With adventures for the stout of heart, and the lure of the open spaces
There's 2 lanes running down this road, whichever side you're on
Accounts for where you want to go, or what you're running from
Back when darkness overtook me on a blind man's curve
I relied upon the moon, I relied upon the moon
I relied upon the moon and Saint Christopher
Now I've paid my dues cuz I have owed them, but I've paid a price sometimes
For being such a stubborn woman in such stubborn times
Now I have run from the arms of lovers, I've run from the eyes of friends
I have run from the hands of kindness, I've run just because I can
But now I'm grown and I speak like a woman and I see with a woman's eyes
And an open door is to me now like the saddest of goodbyes
It's too late for turning back, I pray for the heart and the nerve

You gotta be one sad motherfucker to stab yourself in the heart.Quote:
