Built To Spill - Car
i wanna see movies of my dreams.
being sick is the worst.
at night i get the chills and i start shaking. go to sleep fully clothed with three blankets to stay warm. wake up every few hours to strip away another layer. find out in the morning that i’ve sweat through my pillow and blanket. a headache located directly behind my eyes. feeling sore all over. coughing so much i practically drop to the ground. and i’m certainly not one to jump to any crazy conclusions but i’m flying out in three weeks and if i have any kind of h1n1 flu i’m not so sure they’ll let me on a plane. that’s definitly the worst case scenario. and odds are it’s just a regular summer sickness.
Listen
