700 dollars a month for rent is nothing compared to keeping my fucking sanity.

When it's right, it will be right.

and some how that makes all the difference.

I will respect your right to be who you are. I will respect your ability to say what you will. But you better as fuck not expect me to not form my own opinions about you.

I was never one to try to hide my opinions of things.

cleaning.

Finally, you've found the cutest little place to stay. It's not perfect, but it's modern enough. It's clean, quiet and pretty in all the right ways.

But first you've got to get your old place cleaned. One of those things you just have to do.

So you walk into your bathroom to brave the monster you've got to tackle.

You start scrubbing. First the sink, that's the easiest one, it's not too dirty, it's the easiest to main, no scary monsters here, just a few little ones. In no time it's clean and nearly spotless.

Beautiful.

Then you start scrubbing the toilet, it's dirty, it's gross, but it's essential. It doesn't hurt too much, not too much bleach not too much scrubbing and it's as good as new.

Beautiful.

Finally you see the tub, it's HUGE. It's a monster and is it's going to be one hell of a monster to tackle. Tiles first. You scrub and you scrub. Harder and harder. Finally your fingers hurt, your arms are sore, and the bleach has burned holes in your gloves. You need new ones. More resistant ones. What you see...is something you haven't seen before. You never knew what the real color of the tiles were, nor did you ever notice the patterns. You find yourself captivated. You never noticed the intricate designs on these tiles. They're amazing. And you've never taken notice. Not once, not ever, since you started living here. You were too busy trying to get in and out to realize what you were missing.


It wasn't what you thought you wanted. You thought that it wasn't modern enough, it wasn't pleasing to the eye. You failed to notice that when the beauty of modernity fades, it becomes nothing more than something to be replaced.

Yet here, you see ageless beauty, you see something that only becomes more amazing with time. It's breathtaking.

One by one, the tiles take you to a part of yourself, you never let yourself see. Parts you hid, in shame, in denial, in failure to want to see.

Finally you finish. You take a minute to breathe it all in. It's overwhelming and it's crushing. But it is what it is.

There's more. The floors, The tub. You've only finished the tiles. It's not over yet.

So you keep cleaning.

Yet, as you clean inside you feel a bit of melancholy. In your desperation to escape, you failed to notice beauty. But it's too late now. It's not your bathroom anymore.

But you wish that it were.

What I say isn't what I really mean, and if it's really important, there's a good chance I've lied.

Why can't you see through it? I'm screaming my heart out to you.

Take time to realize,
That your warmth is
Crashing down on in.
Take time to realize,
That I am on your side
Didn't I, Didn't I tell you.

But I can't spell it out for you,
No it's never gonna be that simple
No I cant spell it out for you

C: If you just realize what I just realized,
Then we'd be perfect for each other
and will never find another
Just realized what I just realized
we'd never have to wonder if
we missed out on each other now.

V2: Take time to realize
Oh-oh I'm on your side
didn't I, didn't I tell you.
Take time to realize
This all can pass you by
Didn't I tell you

But I can't spell it out for you,
no it's never gonna be that simple
no I can't spell it out for you.

C: If you just realized what I just realized
then we'd be perfect for each other
then we'd never find another
Just realized what I just realized
we'd never have to wonder if
we missed out on each other now.

V3: It's not always the same
no it's never the same
if you don't feel it too.
If you meet me half way
If you would meet me half way.
It could be the same for you.

C: If you just realize what I just realized
then we'd be perfect for each other
then we'd never find another
Just realize what I just realized
we'd never have to wonder
Just realize what I just realized

If you just realize what I just realized

OoOoOOo

missed out on each other now
missed out on each other now

Realize, realize
realize, realize
