Lyrics for Friday and UW Flowers

my tears ricochet 

By Taylor Swift 

We gather here, we line up

Weepin' in a sunlit room

And if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes too

Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe

All the hell you gave me?

'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you

'Til my dying day

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

And you're the hero flying around, saving face

And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?

Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

Look at how my tears ricochet

We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean

Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring

You know I didn't want to have to haunt you

But what a ghostly scene

You wear the same jewels that I gave you

As you bury me

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave

And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?

Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

Look at how my tears ricochet

And I can go anywhere I want

Anywhere I want, just not home

And you can aim for my heart, go for blood

But you would still miss me in your bones

And I still talk to you (when I'm screaming at the sky)

And when you can't sleep at night (you hear my stolen lullabies)

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves

You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same

Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

You turned into your worst fears

And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain

Crossing out the good years

And you're cursing my name, wishing I stayed

Look at how my tears ricochet

My Friday morning was quiet -- a bunch of computer work -- but most of the rain fell while we were inside, and after lunch we went out to Whole Foods and CVS to drop off Amazon returns, pick up prescriptions, and see the cherry blossoms and daffodils along the way. We took a walk in the park when we came back and discovered that there is a second eagle nest, this one in Idylwood instead of Marymoor, and we saw the pair of eagles in a pine tree the former though there was a goose standing in the nest in the latter. 

When we got home, I watched Taylor's Version of The Eras Tour on Disney+ long distance with Cheryl, which remains as awesome as it was the first time I saw the film in the theater (of course nothing compares to the experience of seeing it live). There were several additional songs in their eras plus a bonus acoustic set at the end of the concert. Now we're watching the first episode of The Three Body Problem, which thus far is excellent.
