When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part
You roll outta bed and down on your knees
And for a moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was she really here?
Is she standing in my room?
No she's not, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....



When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The giving up is the hardest part
She takes you in with her crying eyes
Then all at once you have to say goodbye
Wondering could you stay my love?
Will you wake up by my side?
No she can't, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....



Now do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hands
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hands?
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hands?
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my , roses in my hands?

Would you get them if i did?
No you won't, 'cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....



When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part

heavy and light

my heart is heavy and light, so many amazing things in my life, but also things going on around me that break my heart.


coldplay are so good..

What if I got it wrong?
And no poem or song..
Could put right what I got wrong,
Or make you feel I belong
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there by your side
That you don't want me there in your life.

Oooooh, that's right
Let's take a breath, jump over the side.
Oooooh, that's right
How can you know it if you don't even try?
Oooooh, that's right


oh my friends do bless me so much. they do.

Reading... wild at heart and captivating. two in one thingo, its sweet.

Watching... mmm, 'dan in real life' last night, was really good!

Loving... the beauty of winter mornings but wishing it didn't result in my car beig covered in frost!

Cooking... a 14 layer cake on saturday if all goes to plan!

Wanting... always sleep. and also a diana camera, and my lomo action sampler to work. also these really cute floral tights and sunglasses i saw. i'd say acid wash tights but i plan to make my own this week. oh i said it anyway. also, i'd like my dad to be well, you know how dads are meant to be strong and basically invincible? my dads abit ill, can't get out of bed, i mostly hope he's ok.


oh goodness, you hold the ones to my heart.

you arrived just in time frankie

having the new copy of frankie magazine in my hands makes me very happy. it's the 30th issue and they have a list of 30 things that they love, so here's my list of 30 things that make me happy, feel free to comment some of your own.

1. my friends, for the hangs, the hugs and they are so good looking. 2. staring at the sky. 3. perspective. 4. baking, anything, all the time, even after a day at work, i still want to bake. 5. pancakes and ice cream, goodness me, delish! 6. irony. 7. rainy sundays when i can just stay in bed for ages and not have to think about work. 8. having a really long, really hot shower and then jumping into bed with clean sheets. 9. having a jug that has a setting that keeps the water hot all the time! green tea in a flash. 10. phone calls with friends in other countries. 11. inside jokes, the kind where you don't even have to finish the joke because everyone involved is already laughing part-way through. 12. conversing with my mother via facebook, especially when she's just down the hallway. 13. re-decorating my walls and feeling totally satisfied with them.. for about a week. 14. hanging polaroids with wooden pegs, oh i love wooden pegs. 15. 'i love' lists, so uplifting haha. 16. generally, lists, i love lists so much, i'm the kind of person that writes things that i've already done on them so i can cross them off. 17. my job, i really do, i love my regular customers, the people i work with, the smell of coffee, baking all day and picking the music we listen to. 18. 'i caught myself' by paramore, i listen to it pretty much every day. 19. john mayer's music, i really do listen to him everyday. without fail. 20. dancing all night and then eating turkish delight. 21. this one boy, that really brightens my day. 22. counting down to things, australia in 25 days. 23. making something really cool from something kinda dumb from the opshop eg. awful blue mum jeans, into acid washed, cut offs to be worn with tights, nice. 24. fluffy towels, not the kind that attack you with their fluff though. 25. turning off the computer and reading. 26. hot water bottles. 27. those 'i haven't seen you in so long, i'm so glad your in my life' hugs. 28. alaska's ep, i mentioned them in an earlier post and truly if you didn't download the album, i reeeally suggest you do! they make beautiful music with harps and violins and goodness me, just check it out and then let me know what you think. 29. talking to my sisters on the phone. 30. writing.

"you thought you couldn't live without him. on that very first day the weeks and months stretched ahead of you in infinity. they wrapped around the world, then circled the moon and drifted onwards to the universe. you followed this empty time as it skipped lazily across the sky. it forced you to look up at the stars until you lost yourself in their beauty. suddenly much to your surprise, time stood still as the sun rose and your broken heart was filled with light"

i'm not sure who wrote this, i copied it down in my journal from a blog awhile ago. if anybody knows who to credit this to, let me know.

most beautiful, lauren joy ness, everything will be ok.
