the dog days are over

i don't understand {most of} the lyrics. but it makes me want to clap my hands and scream with a smile.

my dog days are over. 
{click above to clap along with me}

it's a matter of deciding so. and i did.

it's time to move on into happiness-- let it hit me like a bullet in the head.

so i'll run fast, and leave all my love and my longing behind.

lyrics {florence + the machine}

happiness hit her like a train on a track
coming towards her stuck still no turning back
she hid around corners and she hid under beds
she killed it with kisses and from it she fled
with every bubble she sank with her drink
and washed it away down the kitchen sink


the dog days are over
the dog days are done
the horses are coming
so you better run


run fast for your mother, run fast for your father
run for your children, for your sisters and brothers
leave all your love and your longing behind
you cant carry it with you if you want to survive


the dog days are over
the dog days are done
can you hear the horses?
because here they come


and I never wanted anything from you
except everything you had and what was left after that too, oh
happiness hit her like a bullet in the head
struck from a great height by someone who should know better than that
