way upon the mountain where she died

I got dosed by you and 

Closer than most to you and 

What am I supposed to do 

Take it away I never had it anyway 

Take it away and everything will be okay 

In you a star is born and 

You cut a perfect form and 

Someone forever warm 

Lay on lay on lay on lay on 

Lay on lay on lay on lay on

(dosed, the red hot chili peppers.) 

The Red Hot Chili Peppers always inspire me to write music...

Just going through the motions

week after week and day after day

memories of emotions 

weekend to weekend 'til it fades away

but wait, slow down

it can't all end so quickly

when it just started

why hide from the storm

when you could kiss in the rain?

Then Monday rolls around again

and it's back to the mundane 

but there's the thought of shining hours

that keep you sane.

Acid rain on the hood of my car

can't seem to accelerate

but we're getting so far

living weekend to weekend is how we do it

gotta savor every moment or you might not get through it.
