生长在芒果街的向日葵

Dido的老歌。重又听到，竟然比Thank you还喜欢。

塞上耳机，按下repeat，骑上自行车，唱完第4遍的时候，刚好到图书馆，或者从图书馆回到住处。就这样听着这个女人在耳边轻轻地哼着：

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

一遍又一遍。

我承认，是因为这歌词很映衬现在的心情。

I've always thought
that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
and live my life more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me

It's just a thought, only a thought

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive

想起在广州的日子，有一阵儿也这么听。从岭院图书馆到学五宿舍，一首歌repeat两遍，不过耳机里飘着的是燕姿的《我的爱》。无忧无虑的小孩。放肆的笑。纯真年代。

这一年，大家都在迅速成长。希望可以不那么快地老去。新年快乐！
