on the radio, you'll hear "november rain."

[semisweet]

this is how it works
you're young until you're not
you love until you don't
you try until you can't
you laugh until you cry
you cry until you laugh
and everyone must breathe
until their dying breath

no, this is how it works
you peer inside yourself
you take the things you like
and try to love the things you took
and then you take that love you made
and stick it into some--
someone else's heart
pumping someone else's blood
and walking arm-in-arm
you hope it don't get harmed
but even if it does
you'll just do it all again

Oh, how I love this song and Regina Spektor herself. ♥

I fell in love with this song when I heard it for the first time...used to sing it at the top of my lungs, in the car, trying to mimic her voice. I love how she twists strange syllables out of words.
