Night Changes
Goin' out tonight, changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Everything she never had she's showin' off
Drivin' too fast, moon is breakin' through her hair
She's headin' for somethin' that she won't forget
Havin' no regrets is all that she really wants
We're only gettin' older, baby
And I've been thinkin' about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you
Chasing it tonight, doubts are runnin' 'round her head
He's waitin', hides behind a cigarette
Heart is beatin' loud and she doesn't want it to stop
Movin' too fast, moon is lightin' up her skin
She's fallin', doesn't even know it yet
Havin' no regrets is all that she really wants
We're only gettin' older, baby
And I've been thinkin' about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you
Goin' out tonight, changes into something red
Her mother doesn't like that kind of dress
Reminds her of the missin' piece of innocence she lost
We're only gettin' older, baby
And I've been thinkin' about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change, baby
It will never change, baby
It will never change me and you
언뜻 사랑 이야기 같지만 (사실 사랑이야기다ㅎ)
서두 부분에 빨려들듯 빠져들었던 노래
내 자신에게 용기를 줄 때 많이 듣는 노래
추억이 많은 사람을 떠나보내는 것이 가장 어렵다.
과거의 인연에게 미련이 남는 경우도 그 사람과 공유한 시간과 추억이 있고 인연이 특별해서다.
혼자 살아도 충분히 즐겁고 행복한 내가 노력을 들여 인연을 유지하는 사람들은 내가 놓을 수 없을 만큼 소중하기 때문이다. 아무 생각 없는 것 같아도, 나름대로는 필사적으로 붙잡고 있는 거다.
가만히 있으면 손가락 사이로 흘려보내기 십상인 수많은 인연들 중에서 내가 콕 집어 인생에 들이고 싶은 인연들, 존재만으로도 나를 웃게 하는 사람들이기 때문이다.
생각하는 인간에게 찾아오는 가장 아름다운 행운은,
탐구할 수 있는 것을 탐구하고
탐구할 수 없는 것을 조용히 숭배하는 일이다.
