I've figured out the JOY is not in your arms

I will be the first to say I am probably over emotional when it comes to song lyrics.
I will listen to a song over and over and over simply because one lyric speaks to me.
[oh come on now, we all do. I just choose to do it with my Bose mini speaker blaring while laying in the tub.]

I will admit I used to not like Elli Goulding. I will also admit that was the direct effect of an ex's taste in music. Finally, I will admit I am now obsessed. One of the ,what feels like 27, romantic movies coming out on Valentine's Day has the trailer soundtrack of her song Explosion. I was needing some new music so I did some Spotify research.
Fast forward to me blaring the damn song for the 89th time and singing along in my green sweatpants.
My Top 5 would have to be:
Explosion
My Blood
JOY
Dead in the Water
How Long Will I Love You

But don't take my word for it, give her a chance yourself.



oh and p.s. it was just a rumor, she's not dating Ed Sheeren. So she's a-okay in my book.

With all the blood I lost with you, it drowns out the love I thought I knew

I've fallen from grace, took a blow to my face. 
I've loved and I've lost. I've loved and I've lost.

If I was not myself and you were someone else, I'd say so much to you and I would tell the truth.

How long will I love you?
As long as stars are above you
And longer, if I may.
