Cigarette Daydreams. Cage the Elephant

life.
there is so much you can get from it.

you can learn.

about biochemistry. volcanoes. H2O. Beethoven. politics. ballet. One Republic. beat boxing. how to bake a smith island cake. where to find the best European sodas. how to make the perfect free throw. 

you can smile.

about her. about him. about saying the punch line flawlessly. about drinking the perfect European soda. being the first on the swing set to make the entire thing go "bump".  singing an entire chorus with the right words. staring at a starry sky.

you can cry.

about him. about her. your acceptance letter. the necklace your mom gave you that she inherited from her mom. about hating your new haircut. the perfect breakup song. getting the answer you've been praying for.

you can laugh.

at that flawless punchline. at the awkward couple. at yourself. your best friends. trying to play suck and blow. pretending to be college kids. katy perry blowing out your eardrums as you stick your head out the window. the lights dimming for the concert to start.

but most of all. we can live.
to grow. to gain. to succeed.

so lets jump on our train. cause its coming into the station soon.
