And then you came...

Song of the day- Cuckoo

So my last 10 weeks of grad school starts tomorrow. And alas I've been in fun loving summer mode for so long, the harsh reality has not hit me yet that it is over. I more feel like I'm real young again starting back to school in the fall and more excited about seeing my classmates and people I've come to know and love like family who've gotten me through this often painful, often bumpy and sometimes pretty fantastic and sometimes horrifying ride that I was picturing having to be on by myself. But luckily I found some hands to hold that I'm gonna hold on pretty tightly to the next ten weeks. For all the hands you're holding, this one's for you, cuckoo!



I walked alone
I never tried to stay in line
I didn’t know what I was doing half the time
I didn’t know that my life could ever change
I didn’t think that anybody’d feel the same way
And then you came

I said I wanna try it all without regret
I wanna meet the kind of folks I never met
Skipping school and smoking cigarettes
We hadn’t even really gotten started yet

Cuckoo
Let’s go driving
Cuckoo
Cause there’s nowhere to go
Cuckoo
We’re in hiding
There telling our story on the radio

I fell in love with being defiant
In a pick up truck that roared like a lion
When you’re with us
You don’t have to be quiet no more

People said we’d have to make it on our own
We never thought there’d be another hand to hold
We didn’t care, we never did what we were told
They couldn’t break us
They could never turn us col
You and me well we were never growing old

I see you now
We talk about
The way it used to be
When we were brave
We misbehaved
Yeah you know what I mean
And you know why
Our battle cry always comes back to me

Cuckoo…
Yeah…
