Regina Means Queen

In the noisy confusion of a tuesday morning after a weekend that did its best R Kelly impression and makes keeping peace with your soul extra-specially trying, Regina Spektor sums the whole thing up so perfectly it makes you think after all it must have been her barking orders at the Big Man when he went off on his 7-Day bender back in the day to bring the whole thing into existence.

This is how it works.

You're young until you're not.

You love until you don't.

You try until you can't.

You laugh until you cry.

You cry until you laugh.

And everyone must breathe...

Until their dying breath.

This is how it works.

You peer inside yourself.

You take the things you like.

And try to love the things you took.

And then you take that love you made.

And stick it into someone else's heart.

Pumping someone else's blood.

And walking arm in arm.

You hope it don't get harmed.

But even if it does...

You'll just do it all again.
