White Horse

Say you're sorry, that face of an angel
Comes out just when you need it to
As I paced back and forth all this time
Cause I honestly believed in you

Holding on, the days drag on
Stupid girl, I should have known
I should have known

I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell

This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to come around

Baby I was naive, got lost in your eyes
And never really had a chance
I had so many dreams about you and me
Happy endings, now I know

I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairy tale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell

This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now it's too late for you and your white horse, to come around

And there you are on your knees
Begging for forgiveness, begging for me
Just like I always wanted but I'm so sorry

Cause I'm not your princess, this ain't a fairytale
I'm gonna find someone someday who might actually treat me well
This is a big world, that was a small town
There in my rearview mirror disappearing now

And its too late for you and your white horse
Now its too late for you and your white horse, to catch me now

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Try and catch me now
Oh, it's too late to catch me now

Sept 19

There's 4 days till my birthday and only one thing I truly want for my 21st birthday. Its not my new driver's license. Its not some delicious drink. Its not cake. Its not clothes. Its not money. In fact its not a thing at all. Its a person. Someone I've been wanting to see for quite some time now, yet for some reason it never seems to work out. If I was to see them, talk with them, be with them, it would be the happiest birthday ever.

Aug 5

Good morning all!

What am I doing up at 4 in the morning? Well I was washing and drying clothes so I could take clean clothes to FLORIDA! That's right, I'm heading to the Sunshine State. Well our flight leaves out of Grand Rapids at 9 am and I guess you're supposed to be like 2 hrs early which would put us there at 7 am. Not early enough? Well its a good 45 min drive from my house to the airport so we need to leave our house by 6:30 am. So my predicament last night/this morning was if I should stay up and sleep on the plane and be dead to the world OR sleep for 3 hrs. In case you haven't caught on, I chose the first one. Matt, my brother, was gonna try and stay up with me...I've lost track of him. Last I saw him he was asleep on our dining room floor. My guess is he found a more comfy spot.

I'm quite excited for our trip, its just too bad my sister, Mary, won't be able to come. She has to play in a quartet for a wedding. My mom, brother and myself will fly down on a flight and my dad will come later on a different flight since he has free miles. He will only stay till Saturday since he has to preach on  Sunday. The rest of us will be in sunny Florida till next Thursday. That's right people, one whole week.

The only thing I'm worried about on this trip is the flight down. I managed to throw my back out a good 15 mins ago and my back has spasmed like nothing else. Hopefully I'll be able to sit on the 2 hr flight and actually be able to stand up and look like a normal person when we land in Orlando. I should be okay....especially if I take some meds. Gotta love the ibuprofen.

While I ramble on about tonight and its excitement, guess who just released a new song. If you guessed Taylor Swift, you'd be right. Her song, Mine, is good. Kinda sounds like her other songs, but I still like it. There's also a free song on iTunes this week I would highly recommend, Breathe by Ryan Star.

Well, one more hour now till more people wake up and we are on our way to grand ol' Florida. I'll make sure to get some pictures on here of my adventures...as long as I remember to take them. :)
