sampling of the bros' sweet lyrics

-“do my best to follow through,
come up with a master plan,
a homerun hit, a winning stand,
a guarantee and not a promise,
that i'll never let your love slip from my hands.
if it's the beaches,
if it's the beaches' sands you want,
then you will have them,
if it's the mountains' bending rivers,
then you will have them,
if it's the wish to run away,
then i will grant it.
take whatever what you think of,
while i go gas up the truck,
pack the old love letters up,
we will read them when we forget why we left here.”

-“and i’ve known others, and i’ve loved others too,
but i loved them cause they were stepping stones on a staircase to you”

-"'cause i've had bad lovers, yeah...
i've wasted years walkin' for them gals
that's how i know you're worth walking for."

-"well you send my life a whirling,
darling when you're twirling..."

-"your yellow hair is like the sunlight, however sweet it shines,
bit by the cold of december, i'm warm beside your smile."

-"don't wanna steal you,
of a young woman’s light,
to me its perfect,
just wanna do you right."

-"my heart is dancin', to a november tune,
and i hope that you hear it, singing songs about you,
and i sing songs of sorrow, because you're not around,
see, babe i'm gone tomorrow, baby follow me down."

Joy in Brevity

Not too much to contribute right now due to a combination of writer's block (although, upon further consideration, isn't actually *being a writer* a prerequisite for getting writer's block?) and good ole fashioned tiredness. However, a few things that make me smile of late:
