This is just the diary of a fangirl Sitting up in her room, putting her heart in a tune Through your music I know your soul And in my song I like to put mine So take a listen and you will find That they are just alike But this is just the diary of a fangirl Eluding reality, challenging impossibility When we meet at the next big event, you'll tell me That the cover I did of your song is the best damn thing that you ever done heard, and My eyes are as big as the moon, and come to think of it my booty is too There's something about me you can't resist, and would it be rude to ask for a kiss? OMG we're leaving soon Let's go upstairs and go back to your room... But this is just the diary of a fangirl Who'd like to live in this song, who's writing an auto-fanfiction We'll write a song, and we'll fall in love And everyone would want to be us And every day, we'll sit and laugh about How I didn't know you but loved you anyway Anyway... This is just the diary of a fangirl Who hates the word, but accepts it for what it's worth Cause she's just another in his line faceless females Who will take whatever they can find This is just the diary of a fangirl Eluding reality, challenging impossibility Who'd like to live in this song, the star of her auto-fanfiction Sitting up in her room, putting her heart in this tune And how can you ever know The fantasy that I've created out of you? The fantasy The fantasy… I've created outta you Will someday come true (someday).

Bob Ross, you can't teach me how To paint a portrait of your face I'd paint your fro and I'd paint your beard It wouldn't exactly show how I feel But I can't cause you only do scapes of land Your shirt buttons down to your navel In one half hour you are able To create a masterpiece with your hands Bob Ross you can't teach me how To sing and play guitar I'd write you a song, we'd make happy love Outside next to a happy little shrub But I can't cause you don't know music And afterward I'd ask you to Paint me wearing this (and only this) in the nude But you won't cause you prefer mountains You tell me I can do anything I can paint a happy stream We don't make mistakes We make happy accidents Oh Bob Ross, you've taught me With your quiet manner and your voice That it's the simple things, Like your paintings, that bring joy

Infinity 03:12
I sit by my window liberated. The screens and my dreams Released to the wind. Who knew you’d catch them And hold them in your presence? Little by little, You return them all. I find new feeling in familiar songs. Changed by perception. Understood anew. I thought I knew everything But I didn’t know myself, Unchartable, Virgin wilderness. I still stare at the stars...infinity, Their power so strong It scares you, I know. The Unknown needn’t bring fear But bring you closer to me. The vast galaxy In infinite eyes.

What will I do What will I do If I don't have your love? At the end of every tunnel, There is a light Sometimes you gotta throw in the towel Sometimes you gotta fight What will I do What will I do If I don't have your love? The only thing that keeps my heart pumping Is the thought of you and me And when I feel the fear of what could be coming Well you put my heart at ease What will I do What will I do If I don't have your love? I think it's time to face the music And I can't refuse it They say, "That's life. You'd better get used to it Oh used to it Oh used to it... What about you What about me When I don't have your love? What about us What will we become Without our love?

about

"By the Window" contemplates the journey of a girl searching for inspiration, only to discover it lives within. The songs deftly move from charming and funny, to sensitive and thoughtful, to deeply emotional.
