Cover art for This Temporary Life lyrics by Death Cab for Cutie

this song makes me cry every time. its one that everyone can relate to, and i wish they put it on an actual death cab cd so more people could hear it.

i went to college early, thinking it would be good to get a head start on life, and every day i regret it. this song describes how it felt exactly. i was stuck in this unfamiliar place all alone, and the only thing i looked forward to each day was a call from my mom. and i had to watch my friends having fun and spending the best 2 years of their lives without me.

hahah ok so the moral of this story is nothing is worth giving up the time you have where you can just have fun in high school and be with your friends. yeah im 2 years ahead of every one, so what? i get to retire 2 years before them and get a headstart on rotting away sitting in my house. awesome.
