How It Works

This is how it works:
You're young until you're not,
You love until you don't,
You try until you can't,
You laugh until you cry,
You cry until you laugh,
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath.

No, this is how it works:
You peer inside yourself,
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took.
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some,
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood.
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed,
But even if it does,
You'll just do it all again.

-Regina Spektor "On the Radio"
