is it disconcerting that i relate, sometimes crave, melancholy songs? not because i want to feel forlorn
but because they are beautiful, elegantly wrapping my mysterious feelings in a melody when even my own eyes fail to release the tears. 

i love this song. i love her {sara bareilles} entire album, but this song makes me s t o p and feel my heart, question my thoughts. i remember so many memories and am left with the plea that "robbers and thieves will steal this state i'm in". i don't want it anymore.
