one of the most beautiful songs ever written. i wanted to use this song as my senior quote, literally, but they obviously wouldnt let me so i was told to pick a chunk of it. it was so hard to decide that i ended up missing the deadline. highschool was so sad for me and so hard, but i grew so much from it, and learned so much from analyzing it, i love it more than words could tell. invaluably indebted. in retrospect i should have settled right away for
"Going to leave this brokedown palace,
On my hand and knees, I will roll, roll, roll.
Make myself a bed in the waterside,
In my time, I will roll, roll roll."
i learned more than most of the people who graduated with top grades, that year at least, always knew i was "smarter" than most of em. i knew i didnt need to move at the schools pace, i was there to learn, not to recieve assignments. i'd leave on my hands and knees if it's the last thing i did. i skimmed by just barely senior year because i didnt have it in me to do much of anything at the time. i was so fed up with feeling unhappy and imprisoned. but in my time i know i'll be up in vermont by a river, or down south just the same, happy as can be, and forever grateful.
this one right here is one of those tears of joy and pain at the same time songs.

even though the lyrics are quite clearly "by the waterside"
