Luyện nghe bài hát The Telescope Reading (Of Course)

He lived
with his and his records and his telescope
with all the doors
days piled upon each one by tedious one
until the pressure finally a diamond like thought
and he was sad
Ive read book,
Ive heard song,
and Ive seen every star the safety of my bedroom.
and i am empty.
in defeat he slumped with his eyes still pressed against the telescope
just his lungs began to expand,
he rapidly,
alternating his eyes squinting
and making his as wide as saucers
he out, "of course"
with all the spent looking up
it never his mind to veer straight ahead.
He days upon days taking it all in
he say children grow to men
and men grow to fools.
he saw hope, beauty, war, strength, weakness, chaos,
he until he could recite each scene from memory,
eventually he his own books about what he saw
and he made his own songs what he thought he had heard
almost he himself believed what he was creating to be true
until lie upon lie piled on top of
until the pressure finally a pearl-like thought
he to the world,
Ive seen all of your
and Ive heard all of conversations,
and i am hungry.

In frustration,
he to his knees
and to bang his head against the old wooden door
"of course" he out
and hesitation
ha up,
put on his coat and hat, and the knob.
but before hid first step even hit the
he was faced with the unexpected of emotions
one he could only figure to be
what his favorite books and refer to as love.
"where are you going?" she him
"i know"
"me too" she
ill take you there, she her tiny hand
and swept him with her.

They walked until feet bled
during their journey she told him all the places she had
and all the she had met along the way.
a new emotion began to unfold of him
one he thought he had in a conversation looking through his telescope
it was the word
why she choose me? he thought.
i know so
not wanting to her interest,
he began telling her stories he thought she might be by
but all they did was make her question his strength and ability to battle the
that she knew would surely out at them one day
but she still her faith in him and they continued walking

amazing things they saw
they danced in caves,
warmed their faces by the of fires,
and played with brilliant children in the blue sea
but amidst all that gorgeousness,
their hands to slip.
from palms, then to fingertips, then to nothingness.
they still,
she south, and he faced west.
he out to her,
I'm leaving now, and i blame you for the we're in
and through all of our Ive done nothing wrong
and you've taught me how to breathe,
I'm my new voice and leaving you hear with nothing.

She back and cried out to him,
we drew a map together that you promised you would with me.
i too am scared,
especially you stole my strength and made it your own.
but i am still for your hand,
knowing it fit more perfectly than ever
if you will only back to me.
but he reach back, he was vain and confused.
he to make a new map, but he didn't know where to put the "X" anymore.
so he in circles,
he his rhythm,
he by the fire,
and he in the sea,
he made what he had feared the most,
incomplete.
and even though the was his, and his alone,
he her for that too.

but the whole time she him
for fallen twigs and fresh footprints to see where he was going
but all he left in his path were messages written in the dirt with a stick
lies of anger and shifted blame,
until one day he wrote the word "help" he needed her most.
but by she had stopped trying to read his thoughts
and sense of his misery.
so he back to where he started,
to his books and his records and his telescope,

and broken,
he finally reached the of his street
to find her waiting for him.
and upon seeing her smile,
he immediately knew he had done,
he what he had lost,
he knew how he was.
for the first time she was to him.
they sat and spoke about everything should have
in the of their story
and through all the tears he learned that she had been her entire life
and that she wasn't waiting for him to go the world with her at all
no, she was in fact waiting for him to invite her his house
so she could read his books, hear his and look through the telescope
behind the safety of his door.

and i can your love for me,
and i am whole.

the songs closest to my life while you sleep in my bed,
and look me waving at you through my telescope.

and he drew an X her heart.
"of course" he thought.
he slowly closed the old door
and he locked it him.
