into a peaceful breeze

Listening to: "Cruz" by Christina Aguilera
My cousin's graduation was today in Eugene. I decided in general I don't like graduations much. You wait and you wait to hear one or a few names called and sometimes you clap politely for strangers, but usually it's just on the boring side. Feeling better today than yesterday but only marginally. I had a wonderful nap on the way home today with John Mayer on repeat in my CD player, the windows open and blowing wind through my hair, the sun on my face and arms, and a soft seat to sink into. I could have stayed that way for a long time. Tomorrow is Father's Day but we're doing most of the celebrating tonight since we have my cousin's graduation party tomorrow.
I'm leaving today
Living it, leaving it to change
Slowly drifting into a peaceful breeze
Tongue tied and twisted are all my memories
Celebrating a fantasy come true
Packing all my bags, finally on the move
I'm leaving today
Living it, leaving it to change
As I'm driving I'm captured by the view
So much beauty the road becomes my muse
The heat is rising and my hand surfs through the wind
Cool, calm, collected is the child that lives within, see
I'm leaving today
Living it, leaving it to change
I'm leaving today
Living it, leaving it to change
But somehow I miss it, I think I'll really miss it one day
I turn up the radio and I feel like I've never felt before
Turn down the memories of yesteryears and broken dreams
I'm free
Finally free
Slowly drifting into a peaceful breeze
I'm leaving today
Living it, leaving it to change
I'm leaving today
Living it, leaving it to change
I'm leaving today
Living it, leaving it to change
But somehow I miss it, I think I'll really miss it
One day
