All Good Things (Come to an end)

I'm not the biggest fan of Nelly Furtado. Out of all the songs (that I'm sure she sings) I only like 4...5 if you count the Missy Elliott remix.
But there is one song that I have in my monthly mix that never fails to move me a bit. It makes me think about my life; past, present, future. Shit! A song that makes me think (see NMT, they aren't all mindless songs with no meaning or feeling behind them*)!
I'm actually going to type up all of the lyrics (except for the repetitive part of the chorus, and the massive repeat that happens in the middle, ha!) but only because every verse has something that applies to me.

All Good Things (Come to an End)

Honestly, what will become of me?
I don't like reality
It's way too clear to me

But really life is dandy
We are what we don't see
We miss everything daydreaming

Chorus:
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?

Traveling I always stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
living this way I stress less

I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets in and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why

Chorus

Well the dogs were barking at the new moon
whistling a new tune
hoping it will come soon

And the sun was wondering if it should
stay away for a day 'til the feeling went away
and the sky was falling
and the clouds were dropping
and the rain forgot how to bring salvation

the dogs were barking at the new moon
whistling a new tune
hoping it would come soon
so that they could die

It's bittersweet really. While I'm Nelly Furtado-ing I'd might as well put the chorus to "I'm Like a Bird" which is what I feel I should say to everyone that I meet while I'm traveling:

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
and baby all I need you to know is
I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is
I don't know where my home is
and I need for you to know this

While we're at it I think you should have a listen to her "Afraid" because it's good stuff. When I'm in a pensive mood I turn that one on and pense(o).

Anyhow, the songs make me sad, but they are so fitting...which sometimes makes me even sadder. Surely I'm not the first and certainly not the last to need to do this, right? I know I can't be the only one who needs this.
I am, however, a bit self-conscious about how long it's taking me, others seem to think 1 year to feed their 'wanderlust' is enough.
It's not enough for me.
I'm beginning to fear there won't be an 'enough.'
But it's a good butterfly fear...the one I get when I walk onstage, before I teach, and before I jumped...the one I'm chasing.

What a pickle.
