And it's only doubts that we're counting On fingers broken long ago I read with every broken heart we should become More adventurous

Artist- Rilo Kiley
Song of the day- More Adventurous

Two things will always hold a great deal of my heart and returning to one of them tomorrow, LA, feels like I'm also returning to my musical heart of this band. And as I begin to contemplate what to do next in my life, I look back on all my adventures so far and feel pretty old, but something inside keeps pushing me to more adventures to be more adventurous. That I've found so much on my journey already, I've found so many loves so many homes that get harder and harder to leave that I wonder what's still calling me ahead. But I've learned the not knowing is part of the adventure. The faith of it, the knowing that you hear a voice in the distance and you keep going towards it. The dream inside of you. It was put there for whatever reason and no matter what it is, a family, a career, a place, a person, an idea, a feeling, a something you have no words for it's there for a reason even if you ignore it, think you are doing what's close to it, dreams are apart of you, and the adventures you take towards them shape who you are and are "becoming" as a professor of mine would say. So here's to riding that wave of adventure and seeing where it takes you.



And it's only doubts that we're counting
On fingers broken long ago
I read with every broken heart we should become
More adventurous
And if you banish me from your profits
And if I get banished from the kingdom up above
I'd sacrifice money and heaven all for love
Let me be loved, let me be loved

And if my brain quits, well I guess then that's just it
And if my hands stop working you can call me lazy
And if I get pregnant, I guess I'll just have the baby
Let it be loved, let me be loved

I've been trying to nod my head, but it's like I've got a broken neck
Wanting to say I will as my last testament
For me to be saved and you to be brave
We don't have to walk down that aisle
'Cause if marriage ain't enough
Well at least we'll be loved

I felt the wind on my cheek coming down from the east
And thought about how we are all as numerous as leaves on trees
And maybe ours is the cause of all mankind
Give love to make more, try to stay alive

I've been trying to nod my head, but it's like I've got a broken neck
Wanting to say I will as my last testament
For you to be saved and me to be brave
We don't have to walk down that aisle
'Cause if marriage ain't enough
Well at least we'll be loved
