Weekly Music Speak

Very often, walking through campus with my ipod blasting in my ears, I come across a song that says exactly what I'm feeling at that moment. To me its an affirmation of how awesome music is and also that there's something greater than ourselves looking out for us.
Today, I was feeling particularly drained after a brutal first time snowboarding last night (fell no joke over 200 times) paired with a 2 1/2 hour marathon phone session trying to fix my wireless internet. As my eyes started to droop in the face of a one o clock sun, the unique voice of Zooey Deschanel from She&Him tinkled through my brain waves.
Have you ever felt down for a length of time, nothing major, but just a case of the blahs? You don't know whats wrong with you, but suddenly you find that unknown "thing" becoming a part of your personality? Deschanel understands my feeling, all of us who are on the cusp of adulthood and already feeling a bit burnt out. And if that wasn't bad enough we're alone...it's just nice to know there's someone out there who can empathize.
The Lyrics:
My eyes are so bleary
I guess I'm young but i feel so weary
I've tried to express it
But I think its all a bore
Its at the heart of me,
A very part of me

Speak slowly, I can't hear you
My mind keeps spinning closer and closer to the rain on the roof,
And the rain in my head, and the things that you said
People take it further ahead
And it just gets so foggy
It's nowhere in here
And its everywhere else that I don't wanna be,
But I'm stuck here getting misty over you
I'm alone on a bicycle for two.

Speak slowly, I can't hear you
My mind keeps spinning closer and closer to the rain on the roof,
and the rain in my head, and the things that you said
People take it further ahead
And it just gets so foggy
It's nowhere in here
And its everywhere else that I don't wanna be,
But I'm stuck here getting misty over you
I'm alone on a bicycle for two.
