Dog Days are Over by Florence and the Machine
Happiness, hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming so you better run
Run fast for your mother run fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses
Cuz here they come
And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had
And what was left after that too. oh.
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
Struck from a great height
By someone who should know better than that
The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses
Cuz here they come
Run fast for your mother and fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your loving behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses because here they come
The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses because here they come
Happiness, hit her like a train on a track

The dog days are done

Run fast for your mother run fast for your father

Maybe this one you can tell me... why do we like this song haha? Personally I can't decide haha, because usually its either the lyrics or the beat. But this one... I'd take either separately and it would probably make two songs I loved almost as much :) Or maybe both just represent the same things... which to me when I hear this song, I think of happiness, and freedom... so of course when those two things come to mind, I think of you haha!! But anyways, whatever happiness or magic exists inside of this song, I don't want to probe it too much. I'd hate to accidentally kill whatever makes me smile about it :) So lets just agree to listen to it really loud haha!!
