Jesse's back in town, it won't be easy
Don't let him near me
Don't let him touch me
Don't let him please me

Jesse, I won't cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, I won't make the wine cold for you
Jesse, I won't change the sheets for you
I won't put on cologne
I won't sit by the phone for you

Annie, keep reminding me
That he cut out my heart like a paper doll
Sally, tell me once again
How he set me up just to see me fall

Jesse, quick come here
I won't tell a soul
Not even myself
Jesse, that you've come back to me
My friends will all say "She's gone again"
But how can anyone know what you are to me
That I'm in heaven again because you've come back to me
Oh Jessie!

Jesse, I'll always cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, I'll always make the wine cold for you
Jesse, I can easily change my mind about you
And put on cologne
And sit by the phone for you

Jesse, let's open the wine
And drink to the heart
Which has a will of its own
My friends, let's comfort them
They're feeling bad
They think I've sunk so low

Jesse, I'll always cut fresh flowers for you
Jesse, I'll always make the wine cold for you
Jesse, I will change the sheets for you
Put on cologne
And I will wait by the phone for you
Oh Jesse

And reachin' out to hold me, when I had a nightmare
You could read quite a story in the callous' and lines
Years of work and worry had left their mark behind

I remember daddy's hands how they held my mama tight
And patted my back for something done right
There are things that I'd forgotten that I loved about the man
But I'll always remember the love in daddy's hands

Daddy's hands were soft and kind when I was cryin'
Daddy's hands were hard as steel when I'd done wrong
Daddy's hands weren't always gentle but I've come to understand
There was always love in daddy's hands

I remember daddy's hands workin' 'til they bled
Sacrificed unselfishly just to keep us all fed
If I could do things over, I'd live my life again
And never take for granted the love in daddy's hands

Start on the chores and sweep 'till the floor's all clean
Polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and shine up
Sweep again, and by then it's like 7:15

And so I'll read a book
Or maybe two or three
I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery
I'll play guitar and knit
And cook and basically
Just wonder when will my life begin?

Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts and baking
Paper mache, a bit of ballet and chess
Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making
Then I'll stretch, maybe sketch, take a climb
Sew a dress!

And I'll reread the books
If I have time to spare
I'll paint the walls some more
I'm sure there's room somewhere
And then I'll brush and brush
And brush and brush my hair
Stuck in the same place I've always been

And I'll keep wanderin' and wanderin'
And wanderin' and wonderin'
When will my life begin?

And tomorrow night
The lights will appear
Just like they do on my birthday each year
What is it like
Out there where they glow?
Now that I'm older
Mother might just
Let me go

Awake but cannot open my eyes
And the weight is crushing down on my lungs I know I can't breathe
And hope someone will save me this time
And your mother's still calling you insane and high
Swearing it's different this time
And you tell her to give in to the demons that possess her
And that God never blessed her insides
Then you hang up the phone and feel badly for upsetting things
And crawl back into bed to dream of a time
When your heart was open wide and you loved things just because
Like the sick and the dying

And sometimes when you're on, you're really fucking on
And your friends they sing along and they love you
But the lows are so extreme that the good seems fucking cheap
And it teases you for weeks in it's absence
But you'll fight and you'll make it through
You'll fake it if you have to
And you'll show up for work with a smile
You'll be better you'll be smarter
And more grown up and a better daughter
Or son and a real good friend
You'll be awake and you'll be alert
You'll be positive though it hurts
And you'll laugh and embrace all your friends
You'll be a real good listener
You'll be honest, you'll be brave
You'll be handsome, you'll be beautiful
You'll be happy

Your ship may be coming in
You're weak but not giving in
To the cries and the wails of the valley below
Your ship may be coming in
You're weak but not giving in
And you'll fight it you'll go out fighting all of them...]]> 2017-08-23 13:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182320204 The Girl - City and Colour megan_caron https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182320546 I wish I could do better by you,
'cause that's what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
In order for this to work.

While I'm off chasing my own dreams
Sailing around the world
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl

When you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave
Fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost
You don't ask for no diamond rings no delicate string of pearls
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl

ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh

One, two, one two three four
I wish I could do better by you
'cause it's what you deserve
You sacrifice so much of your life
in order for this to work

While I'm off chasing my own dreams (my own dreams)
sailing around the world ('round the world)
Please know that I'm yours to keep
My beautiful girl

And when you cry a piece of my heart dies
Knowing that I may have been the cause
If you were to leave and fulfill someone else's dreams
I think I might totally be lost

But you don't ask for no diamond rings (Diamond rings)
No delicate string of pearls (String of pearls)
That's why I wrote this song to sing
My beautiful girl

ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh
ooooo ooo ohhh ohh oh oh

But you don't ask for no diamond rings (Diamond rings)
No delicate string of pearls (String of Pearls)
That's why I wrote this song to sing

Oh I cannot explain what's going down
I can see you standing next to me
In and out somewhere else right now
You sigh, look away
I can see it clear as day
Close your eyes, so afraid
Hide behind that baby face

Do do do do do do

You can drive all night
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer

Funny how it seems like yesterday
As I recall you were looking out of place
Gathered up your things and slipped away
No time at all I followed you into the hall
Cigarette daydream
You were only seventeen
So sweet with a mean streak
Nearly brought me to my knees

Do do do do do do

You can drive all night
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer
If we can find a reason, a reason to change
Looking for the answer
If you can find a reason, a reason to stay
Standing in the pouring rain

Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do

'Cause everything you hear is empty words
But who am I, oh to say this
'Cause everything you hear is just words, yeah

You have to trust in someone, trust in someone, trust in someone
'Cause the truth is

'Cause all I need, is to see you blossom out, blossom out, blossom out
And all I feel, is that I need you to blossom out, blossom out, blossom out
And all I need, is to see you blossom out, blossom out, blossom out
And all I feel, is that I need you to blossom out, blossom out, blossom out

And I'm tired of constant sorrow
'Cause everything you get, is just worse
So what's the point of going somewhere
When everyone you see is just nothing but confused

You have to trust in someone, trust in someone, trust in someone
'Cause the truth is

'Cause all I need, is to see you blossom out blossom out blossom out
And all I feel, is that I need you to blossom out, blossom out, blossom out
To blossom out, blossom out, blossom out
To blossom out, blossom out, blossom out

My mother first brought him home when I was four and they soon got married. I wasn’t exactly happy with these events as I didn’t want him to take my mother away from me. Over time though, we developed a stronger bond and I began to call him dad, as my real dad has never been in my life. Today, we still don’t really get along much but I realize that he has done a lot for my mother and I and I will always appreciate that.]]> 2017-08-23 19:30:42 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182430209 megan_caron https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182430340 Ever since I was young my mother has been my best friend. It was just her and I for a few years after she left my father whom she had been with for years. We lived with my grandparents for the first years of my life as she tried to create a positive life for me. My very first memory was her and I in her bedroom, the sun shining through the windows while she folded clothes and put them away into her dresser. She had a CD player in her room and always played this Carly Simon CD and in fact, we still have the CD. I had been dancing on the bed to the music and soon this song came on and she began dancing with me. I’ve just always remembered this as one of my favorite, most happy memories and this song especially related to the time since my mother left my father because of me and the life that she wanted to create for her and I despite the fact that she did love my father.]]> 2017-08-23 19:31:17 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182430340 megan_caron https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182430535 I’ve always felt kind of stuck. I don’t want to bash our town because it is a nice little town, I just don’t think it’s for me. I’ve always loved traveling and experiencing different cultures and being here kind of secludes you. And I really don’t mean travel as doing touristy things, though that can be fun but I mean actually living as a local and really getting a true understanding of their way of life. I’ve been very lucky as I have family who loves to travel like this and I’ve been on many trips with them, renting an airbnb, and actually living like a local; going to local farmers markets and bakeries, meeting and befriending new people even if they speak a different language, just really experiencing the culture and I’ve always just felt kind of stuck as we do kind of live in a secluded area and we don’t have direct access to a lot of really different culture as the closest place in my opinion would be Quebec City, but despite all this, I am still glad I grew up here, I’m just not quite sure I want to spend the rest of my life here, as I have always seem to be dreaming and looking for a way out. Even as a very young girl I have felt this way and this song just reminds me of how I’ve felt about living here and wanting to experience so much more. (Plus Tangled is my favorite Disney movie so it fits well.)]]> 2017-08-23 19:31:57 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182430535 megan_caron https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182430720 One struggle that I’ve dealt with throughout my life is anxiety and depression and it’s still something that is very hard to talk about despite how strongly I feel about acceptance and awareness for mental health. I have been seeing counselors and therapists on and off ever since fourth grade, and I’m still seeing a therapist right now and honestly, it took me a long time to allow people to know this but there really is nothing to feel ashamed about. I was only clinically diagnosed about two years ago, when I was put on meds because I seemed to be going downhill and this song just relates to how I was feeling during that time and how I still feel sometimes, as depression and anxiety don’t just go away when you pop in a pill. It’s basically a constant cycle and something that I deal with on a daily basis and since my depression is chemical, I probably will be dealing with for the rest of my life. This song just reminds me of my struggle and that it’s okay to not be okay sometimes because it will get better.]]> 2017-08-23 19:32:41 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182430720 megan_caron https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182430830 This song reminds me how my best friend and I met. It’s a very long, complicated story but basically we met online, (which is pretty crazy and can be dangerous so I don’t advise anyone go out of their way to look to meet someone online, despite how many people do this nowadays). We began talking in 2015 and have been best friends ever since and even attempted to date online, which lasted for about eight months but got too stressful. Though this part of our relationship ended, we still would talk on the phone every night, have skype movie nights and were still just all around best friends. And finally, I was able to meet him this summer in person and we spent almost three weeks together in Montreal. I guess this song just kind of really relates because despite us working on ourselves and being away from each other, we still realize that we want to keep each other close because we mean the world to each other as cheesy as that may sound.]]> 2017-08-23 19:33:04 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182430830 megan_caron https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182430894 Ever since I was young I’ve been on a constant journey of self discovery. I have always wanted to be sure of myself and know who I am and what I want in life and it’s actually super hard to get to know yourself like that, almost harder than getting to know someone else but I do believe that it’s one of the most important things that I have learned how to do so far in my life. Of course, I, as anyone else, am constantly discovering new things about myself but I really always try to learn about many different things and do many “self discovery activities” such as meditation, being out in nature, or whatever I feel like doing really, whatever speaks to me and I find that this has all helped me out so significantly and I feel like such a better person because of this. Though I have learned that the best way to be yourself is to just be, not to force anything and just kind of go with the flow.]]> 2017-08-23 19:33:24 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182430894 megan_caron https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182430968 This song I believe is about growing out of your shell and becoming who you really are without worrying about what people may think and trusting in the people who care about you. I still struggle with trusting others and showing my true self and quite honestly I don’t think many people have really experienced my true self except maybe my family and my best friend because I really am a very talkative, opinionated, sometimes very weird and hyper person but not many people would probably see that in me from brief daily encounters.]]> 2017-08-23 19:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182430968 megan_caron https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182561626 2017-08-24 13:27:08 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182561626 The Quiet One - The Who megan_caron https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182561736 Everybody calls me the quiet one
You can see but you can't hear me
Everybody calls me the quiet one
You can try but you can't get near me
I ain't never had the gift of gab
But I can't talk with my eyes
When words fail me you won't nail me
My eyes can tell you lies

Still waters run deep so be careful I don't drown you
You've got nothing to hear I've got nothing to say
Sticks and stones may break your bones
But names can never down you
It only takes two words to blow you away

Everybody calls me the quiet one
But you just don't understand
You can't listen you won't hear me
With your head stuck in the sand
I ain't never had time for words that don't rhyme
My headd is in a cloud
I ain't quiet - everybody else is too loud

Still waters run deep so be careful I don't drown you
You've got nothing to hear I've got nothing to say
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But names can never down you
It only takes two words to blow you away.]]> 2017-08-24 13:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182561736 megan_caron https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182562556 This song reminds me that it’s okay to be quiet in such a busy world where everyone seems to always be talking. I used to be quite insecure that I had such a hard time opening up to people and talking to new people but now I’ve kind of accepted that I’m more of a listener than a talker and I think that’s a good thing. I used to believe that in order to make change or influence people you needed to be a strong leader who would make these wonderful speeches and have a certain kind of charisma but I now realize that that isn't true. Someone who will truly make change is someone who leads through actions, not someone who makes a speech and does nothing but read it rather than actually living by the words that they preach. Plus, I think it's better to have more of a quiet approach to some things but most of all, I think that the world we live in today needs more listeners so I'm happy with the way I am.]]> 2017-08-24 13:29:45 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/182562556 megan_caron https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/183105842 These are all photos that I've taken or photos of myself, though not all of them have a ton of meaning individually, they all represent experiences, people, and places that have helped shaped me into who I am today.]]> 2017-08-28 13:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/183105842 megan_caron https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/183211714 2017-08-28 18:32:47 UTC https://padlet.com/megan_caron/ngm5wlqys9f5/wish/183211714
