I find hard to breathe
As life just eats away
At the faces that surround me
They look tired today
The lady at my table
Doesn't want me here
I just want to talk to her
But would she laugh to my accent
And make fun of me
It doesn't seem like
The blue sky's here for me
There are no girls in here
As far as I can see
Only pin-up posters
Looking down at me
Watching papercups of coffee
Growing cold before my eyes
All the things I see
That makes me realize
I'm in this big world without you
Nothing tomy name
I never knew that
Blue sky meant such pain
I'm dying to be different
In the coffee shop
I lived to double strength
Now my supplies are cut
Oh, I'm older than my looks
And older than my years
I'm too young to take on
My deepest fears
I used to be confused
But now I just don't know
Since you left I've been watching
Blue skies come and go
"I get the feeling in this town
I’ll never live till I live down the one mistake that seems to follow me around
But they'll forget about the sky when they all realize this girl's
about to try to learn to fly or hit the ground "

"Who doesn't know what I'm talking about
Who's never left home, who's never struck out
To find a dream and a life of their own
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone
Many precede and many will follow
A young girl's dream no longer hollow
It takes the shape of a place out west
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed"

On a more serious note:
Gracias a la Vida
(Lyrics by Violeta Parra)
Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me two beams of light, that when opened,
Can perfectly distinguish black from white
And in the sky above, her starry backdrop,
And from within the multitude
The one that I love.
Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me an ear that, in all of its width
Records— night and day—crickets and canaries,
Hammers and turbines and bricks and storms,
And the tender voice of my beloved.
Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me sound and the alphabet.
With them the words that I think and declare:
"Mother," "Friend," "Brother" and the light shining.
The route of the soul from which comes love.
Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me the ability to walk with my tired feet.
With them I have traversed cities and puddles
Valleys and deserts, mountains and plains.
And your house, your street and your patio.
Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me a heart, that causes my frame to shudder,
When I see the fruit of the human brain,
When I see good so far from bad,
When I see within the clarity of your eyes...
Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me laughter and it gave me longing.
With them I distinguish happiness and pain—
The two materials from which my songs are formed,
And your song, as well, which is the same song.
And everyone's song, which is my very song.
Thanks to life
Thanks to life
Thanks to life
Thanks to life
Haha, I love this song! This was the first song I ever listened to on a CD. I got a CD player for my 9th birthday and one of my friends brought this CD to my party.
Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

And I don't need convincing
I've seen enough to want to try and change things
You fell in love, I fell in line
I thought I found my place
Before I knew how much it cost to play it safe

Usually hits a nerve with me!
