I'm not afraid to go backwards and fix what we broke
My gaze falls behind, you make desire seem so easy
I hold off sleep, it's so silent without you here
Don't give up now, it would all be for nothing

Cuz I believe in second chances
I believe the years forget

So let me fill these empty spaces
Better late than never, stay forever
Let me fill this empty space
Cuz there's always room for one more mistake

Can you feel that
I think we're moving in the right direction
I was someone else then
I'd take it back if you would let me

We were never this close when we were young
Every night I whisper your name at the top of my lungs

Let me fill these empty spaces
Better late than never, stay forever
Let me fill this empty space
Cuz there's always room for one more mistake

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid

Always room for one more mistake
Always room for one more mistake
Always room for one more mistake

I'm not afraid

***sigh***

how does one get rid of inertia and shake it off our backs? diediedie........ that's e only thing i can say with regard to my 'A' levels that's coming up in 6 weeks and i've barely started.... by 'barely started' i mean only touching one book on greek tragedy...... ehehe.......... (oh no...... please don't stone me mr harris mr teo lofty............ ***bites lower lip*** well............. i guess it's all a matter of self-discipline and determination eh? to get myself off my butt and get cracking............. urgh.... ***groangroan*** ***moanmoan***
was thumbing through the papers yesterday and i chanced across the article on the 'A'-Level scam........ about cambridge randomly picking scripts and marking them down to like 'F' or 'Ungraded"........... and earlier on in the day i was just telling my friends that if such a thing happened to us, well, then we're unfortunate, and that all things happen for a reason, so there's no point making such a big hoo-ha about it right? when the time comes and such a thing does occur to me, then too bad........ just do whatever u can with whatever shitty grades i get and make the most of whatever i've got..... well....... but after reading the article later on in the day, i thought to myself that if i were unfortunate enough and it did occur to me, then i guess i probably wouldn't be practicing what i preached............. i'd probably rant and rave and curse and swear the pants off the house............... so much for a lady's dignity........ never was really much of one anyway........ ehehehe ***winkwink***........... i guess it's not so much of the the actual grade that i get as i'm not as grade-conscious as i should be......... but it's more of the unjustification of the whole matter........... imagine studying so hard, keeping late nights and handing the whole train of assignments and tutorials for a whole torturous 23 months, all for that set of grades which more or less sets the footstone for our career path in life, and having it screwed up just cause everyone else is doing just as well......... how ridiculous!!!!!! is that how the 'educated' people of the system handle problems? just conveniently mess up someone's entry to university because they don't know how to handle the problem? gee....... how efficient............... i'm impressed and intrigued at the same time......... don't think i could ever reach their high standard, could i? ***shuddershudder***
but i can't help but wonder what do those people who have suffered at the hands of this treatment do? how do the continue now that life (or rather, higher up people) has dealt them this fatal blow? so how now brown cow? ***frownfrown*** it's tough seriously, nothing to joke about........... sigh........... perils of education....................
all this makes me wonder....... what is the opint of studying so hard if, by the small chance, someone's just gonna grab my scrip and give it a 'F'........ might as well not study right? no point anyway............. but on the other hand............. might as well give it a shot.............. always do your best............. so at least u can live life and say you've done your best and not have any regrets............. easier said than done daphne............. look at yourself............... it's funny how reprimanding ourselves makes it easier to bear with when we don't do anything about it..........

Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way
