Sometimes in the morning I am petrified and can't move
Awake but cannot open my eyes
And the weight is crushing down on my lungs
I know I can't breathe

    Almost Regina like towards the end...this is the fourth (or maybe fifth) Rilo Kiley I just HAVE to replay over and over again, and her annunciation is alternately maddeningly miserable and adorably sweet.

    A song that reminds me why music is the most beautiful thing in the universe. Never before has a song fit so well or helped me so much. I just want to hug Jenny Lewis. And cry.

    Memories of blasting this song in the car with the windows rolled down and my friends and I singing at the top of our lungs.
