39) Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
Sleeping on the steps
Waiting for the day to begin
Cause I know where you’re at
But I swear one day you’re coming back, my friend
I hope we meet in the end
And I’ve been thinking ‘bout
What I’m gonna do with today
Cause you took the long way home
But I can’t foresee me going anyplace, anyplace
Move along is all you heard
I’m sure you’re fine right there
But if you’re bad with words
We have a space to share, a space to share
Waiting on the porch
Watching ugly children go by
Remember the broken shit we used to fix
I wish that you could write me a letter tonight
And all I wanna do is see you for a minute or two
Move along is all you heard
I’m sure you’re fine right there
But if you’re bad with words
We have a space to share, a space to share
To share, oh yeah
And making all the sense is everything I don’t believe
I can’t compete with this absence
My chest has found it hard to breathe
Since you decided to leave
And I’ve been thinking ‘bout
What I’m gonna do with this day
Cause you took the long way home
And now it seems you’re not even on your way, on your way
Move along is all you heard
I’m sure you’re fine right there
But if you’re bad with words
We have a space to share, a space to share{And all I wanna do}
Move along is all you heard{Is see you for a minute or two}
I’m sure you’re fine right there
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We have a space to share
And I’ve been thinking ‘bout what I’m gonna do with today
