Sojourn

My wandering foot has started itching. I don't know if it is because I didn't really do anything for spring break, or because I know that I'm not going to be able to go anywhere once this restaurant business gets cranking, but I feel myself wanting to go somewhere, far away, away from this tainted and selfish country, and see another. I want to see the Alps in Italy, or the glorious Falls at Niagra, or even the deserts in Morocco have their blissful appeal. I'm already saving my money.

Sojourn - Natasha Bedingfield


Sitting on the edge
Of an armchair
My seatbelt unfastened
Shoelaces not tied

Letting the wind mess my hair
Make up all smudged
Waking up all blurry eyed

It's too early in the morning
For my words to come out right
Just getting used to sunshine
I'm still squinting in the light

And it looks like a perfect day
Just to get away
All the mundane
Has bought out the rebel
I was born to be
And it feels like the perfect time
Just to break away
This is my life
It's a sojourn from the norm, oh, yeah

I'm a non-conformist
I like doing stupid things
Like laughing on a train
Or falling in love again
Television, magazines
They tell you how to live your life
But not how to use your brain

I wanna do something
I've never done
Dip my toe
Beneath the surface
Of a sea that I've never seen the bottom of
I'm not perfect
Don't have to be
Can walk around in just bare feet
I'm comfortable in my own skin
My confidence, it starts within

And it looks like a perfect day
Just to get away
All the mundane
Has bought out the rebel
I was born to be
And it feels like a perfect time
Just to break away
This is my life
It's a sojourn from the norm
A sojourn from the norm, oh, yeah
