Everything that grows holds in perfection but a little moment. - William Shakespeare
And it’s all the treasures that shine in the street
As we drive right over them
And its all the mornings we missed for sleep
As the sun glides over our apartment
And it’s all the subtle change in landscape and business
Reminds you of your limited time
This time you’ll listen to the movement of your body
How it keeps on despite you and it frightens you
Cause you’re barely alive
- Rilo Kiley (Jenny, You're Barely Alive)
