This is How it Works

You all know about my love of music.  Especially music with off-beat lyrics.  I was in my car today and the lyrics of this song struck me for some reason.  I guess I was never really listening before.  This part especially made me think:

This is how it works.

You're young until your 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 breath until their dying breath.

No, this is how it works.

You peer inside yourself.

You take the things you like,

then try and love the things you took.

Then you take that love you made

and stick it into some

someone elses heart

pumping someone elses blood.

Then walking arm in arm,

you hope it don't get harmed,

but even if it does,

you'd do it all again.

There were a few things that struck me about these lines.  But you take them for what they're worth to you.
