I feel anxious … before dates.

I like people who … are happy.

All it takes to make me happy is … going on a morning run.

What I really want to do is … go to New York.

I wish that … it was summer already.

I don’t like when people are … rude.

A person really should ... have fun.

I just hate it that … I have homework on the weekend.

I just love it that ... third term is half-way over

Story of my Life

My family is an old, tattered book.
Worn, like a book that has been read over and over again.
My dad is the binding, the thing that holds us all together.
My mom is the first pages. She is the introduction, she knows
how things are to be done, and how things happen.
My brother is the page numbers. At times seemingly
insignificant, but not complete without him.
I am the torn out page, barely hanging in, standing out from the
rest of my family.

"If I Die Young" The Band Perry


Lyrics:
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even gray, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little, cold finger, I've
Never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand, there's a
Boy here in town says he'll, love my forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when your dead how people start listenin'

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when your really gonna need them, oh

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls


General idea/story inference:
I think this song is about a girl wanting to commit suicide and telling her mom or family not to be sad, and let her go just the way she wants. Also it seems to be telling the story of how she wants to die, and what she wants to happen after she is gone. She wants it to be more of a happy thing than a sad thing, she doesn't feel like her death would be something to cry about.

Quote inferences:
1. "The sharp knife of a short life, well I've had, just enough time" This part is meaning that she has had enough time of this life, and sees no more purpose for her, she doesn't want anything to do with it anymore. "well I've had, just enough time" could also be talking about how she has had time to think the suicide over.

2. "A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar, They're worth so much more after I'm a goner" & "Funny when your dead how people start listenin" She is saying that nobody actually listened to her, but now she thinks people will start to listen because they will never see her again, and now are wanting to know what she had to say.

3. "Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no, Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby" I took this as she still cares for her family, but life is just unfair, and its just too hard for her to face this life anymore.

4. "So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls" "what I never did is done" This seems like her way of saying I told you and you didn't listen, so you will have to live without me. The last part, "what I never did is done" I think thats when she does it.

5. "Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket, Save them for a time when your really gonna need them, oh" This could mean that she wasn't worth crying about before her death, so there really would be absolutely no reason the do so now.
