oh my lover

 i always write about and post about things i love and things that influence me, but in honor of the 2 year of Every Little Counts, i am trying to get down to the core elements of where i am coming from. my love for  pj harvey is definitely a big part of where i am coming from. i don't listen to her as much as i used to, but my love for her is the same. back when i was single and living on my own i would listen to her over and over...

leaving california

Leaving California

No one but me is walking
under palms that give no shade.
I'm leaving you today.

California.

How cruel was I to think that
I could make you change?
Oh, give me some shade.
Oh, England, come soon.
How could I have believed
that I could live and breathe in you?

California killed me.

I think it's time to leave.
I told no one I'd stay.
