I'm just dreaming of you
It seemed so real, your existance was just superficial

I totally dig O.C and I never fail to miss any episode
Living in Orange County, so luxurious-ly bling bling
Yet a whole lot of screwed ups and downfalls behind the dream life
And today's episode triggered my mind abit

Life involves hurdles to overcome, especially risk
It's not with a snap of your fingers you get you what you want
If so, I'll be a rich tai-tai with 80 cats
It is a test that challenge our limits, how far are we willing to go
But how do we know that we are making the right decision?
No one will be knocking on your door to tell you that and
There's no instruction manual that tells us the right procedures
It's the reprecussions that will tell you so
Changes that occur during the motion of time
When some it is like a slap in the face or
Even a bundle of joy to some

Like Ryan, he wanted to make a change
He was tired of trying and trying
A lucky kid he was, he was given the change again and again
He lived the life unlike the normal kids back at his town (vey screwed up)
When suddenly he felt that, it's time he make his own decisions

We all say, "It's my life, I decide the way I live it."
Ya it's true, but we all we are not so perfect
Flaws are unavoidable, and so are mistakes
And through that wake up call, a difference has to be made
Still, the burning thought
Is it now then I'll make the right change?

And so, Marissa held Ryan back
Telling him that he's behaving just like her father
Running away from his problems
And that running away is not always the best solution

Some people are more conservative, they tend to speak less
They're the probable bunch that lock themsleves up in a room
Cooped in a corner, weeping
Or they just pretend nothing had happened
Find a new interest and spend most of their time with it
In short, they are running away from their unfortunate plight
Not coming face to face with it or even finding a solution to it
Is it all good?

I guess through experience, advice and support
Are one of the few factors that'll help my doubts above
If repeating the same mistakes will help you make the right choice and a change
So be it, been through done that
Your mom's blabbers or even your buddy's long boring talks
Don't turn deaf ear to it, listen if you have to not necessarily heed it
God knows, you might need it next time
Bear in mind, love is all around
You don't need to love in order to be loved
And that there's always someone's shoulder you can lie on

Hope; it's an over-rated understatement
We just cling on it too much

"With a friendship that no one else could touch
It didn't work out, I'm covered in shells"
Simple Kind Of Life - No Doubt

PS: O.C is not just about sex, guns, drugs and party
