Dreamin' Girl

Some days I dream about moving to another city where I could be anonymous. Where I could float around the city like a faceless blob who no one notices or cares about. I could say and do things - even crazy things - and no one would think that it didn't fit my personality. I could be aloof and mysterious or I could be funny and flamboyant and everyone would just accept that was me.

Some days I dream about moving into a loft in a big city with wooden floors, high ceilings, and lots of empty space. I think of myself being happy in solitude. Reading books I'd always wanted to read and doing art. I would surprise myself with hidden talents that could effortlessly support me. I'd revel in my eccentricity and have at least 3 cats and perhaps an exotic fish or two.

Some days I dream about selling all of my worldly possessions, breaking free of my mortgage and car, and traveling the world with just a backpack. I think about adventures, exotic sounds, interesting foods and strangers that I'd encounter. Meeting other people who are lost in their own unique ways. I think about the mix of excitement and terror that comes with not having a permanent home.

Hmmmmmm...

Now the night is gone, a new day is dawning
And our homeless dreams go back to the street
Another time or place, another civilization
Would really make this life feel so complete.

I'll always be a dreamin' girl
I don't have to understand
I know it's alright.
