Something I like.

Something I like can be many things. I've already written about reading, writing and playing the piano, but this is more specific... I'm going to write about a song I really like, Life for Rent by Dido.
I really like her songs, but more than the music itself, I like the lyrics; sepcially the lyrics of this one.

I haven't really ever found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind that your heart ain't exactly breaking.

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't lean to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

I've always thought that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone and live my life more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive

If my life is for rent...

I truly like the first line which talks about how she's never felt like she belongs with anyone, or anywhere, but also she accepts that it's her fault for she has never been enough time to make anywhere feel like home.
If my life is for rent by this she means that her life is not hers and that she must start to do something to own it again.
