There will be times, we'll try and give it up, Bursting at the seams, no doubt

Artist- Adele
Song of the day- He won't go

There are many ways I like to celebrate having finished a test and one of my favorites is rewarding myself via a drink to cheers with friends, shopping for the least essential items I can find, or perhaps my most favorite, diving into a night a music catch up. Tonight I found two must see concerts I'm currently booking my tix for all the while jamming out to the new Adele first listen on NPR. Having to dig around, I finally found a link to share my favorite song on the album and discovered this upbeat ditty I had crowned the night's "party song" ended up being a song about a recovering heroin addict, go figure. But the story is quite sweet if you care to take investigative look further below, and I loved the song even more after uncovering the meaning of the lyrics. There's something to be said in choosing to do this completely difficult thing that will turn your life upside down, rip everything you know about yourself to shreds so it can clean you back up to where you should be. Now I'm not saying grad school is like drug rehab, but...;)
The gamble in making decisions you really don't want to do, that is a guarantee to change your life and change who you are is always scary. You can't do it on your own, and if your lucky, you have people by your side when you choose to go, as you choose to go, and are waiting for you when your finished getting to where you need to go.
For all those who won't go, don't wanna go, are going, and have gone, this one's for you


Adele - He Won't Go

Some say I'll be better without you,
But they don't know you like I do,
Or at least the sides I thought I knew,
I can't bear this time,
It drags on as I lose my mind,
Reminded by things I find,
Like notes and clothes you've left behind,
Wake me up, wake me up when all is done,
I won't rise until this battle's won,
My dignity's become undone,

But I won't go,
I can't do it on my own,
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk,
I won't go,
I can't do it on my own,
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk,

So petrified, I'm so scared to step into this ride,
What if I lose my heart and fail, declined,
I won't forgive me if I give up trying,
I heard his voice today,
I didn't know a single word he said,
Not one resemblance to the man I met,
Just a vacant broken boy instead,

But I won't go,
I can't do it on my own,
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk,
I won't go,
I can't do it on my own,
If this ain't love, then what is?
I am willing to take the risk,

There will be times, we'll try and give it up,
Bursting at the seams, no doubt,
We'll almost fall apart, then burn to pieces,
So watch them turn to dust,
But nothing will ever taint us,

I won't go,
I can't do it on my own,
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk,
I won't go,
I can't do it on my own,
If this ain't love, then what is?
I am willing to take the risk,

Will he, will he still remember me?
Will he still love me even when he's free?
Or will he go back to the place where he will choose the poison over me?
When we spoke yesterday,
He said to hold my breath and sit and wait,
I'll be home so soon, I won't be late,

He won't go,
He can't do it on his own,
If this ain't love, then what is?
He's willing to take the risk,
So I won't go,
He can't do it on his own,
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk,

'Cause he won't go,
He can't do it on his own,
If this ain't love, then what is?
We're willing to take the risk,
I won't go,
I can't do it on my own,
If this ain't love, then what is?
I'm willing to take the risk.
