It doesn't seem like you're living a life, it's almost like you're travelling on a train with the destination unknown.You're sitting on a seat near the window looking outside, imagining how things are there outside, how is it like to live in the houses that you pass by.

It__ hardly surprising, then, if when we find someone halfway decent, we might cling.
