I loved your memo, btw...

"Start All Over"
[Music Shannon McNally, "Start All Over"]

All this dreaming will drive me crazy
But is it dreaming if it's all I ever do?
The days are bleeding they just run together
The nights are cold in the deep of Minnesota
From where I lie I can see the airport
I watch them land and I see them leave
So many things that I've never done,
So much ends before it's begun

And I'm so tired I could cry
I'm so tired I lie awake at night

Watching the moonlight circle my head
It's just about as blue as blue can get
When I get out of this bed it's gonna
Start all over again…

Mississippi sun doesn't shine this far north
I'm dreaming of peaches and bare tanned knees
A place that's warm where they just let you be
Where you can stay forever cause the rent is free

And I'm so tired I could cry
I' m so tired all I can do is sigh

Watching the moonlight circle my head
It's just about as blue as blue can get
When I get out of this bed it's gonna
Start all over again…

Recently, I used this song for my English final to describe disappointment. My interpretation of "Start All Over" is how everything will remain the same once the person wakes up. Nothing will change; life will still be full of disappointment. We can dream of "bare-tanned knees" and places where "the rent is free," but they are impossible dreams to reach. It'll never be. Everything will start all over again... and remain the same.
