Would you pay?

“If my life was for rent, who, in their right mind, would pay?”

You are free to interpret the phrase “life for rent” as you wish, but my train of thoughts were inspired by the Dido single which was titled by the phrase in question. I’m posting the lyrics down below, perhaps to add a bit of seasoning to today’s food for thought.

Life for Rent
by Dido

I haven’t really ever found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I’m not in love
But it’s not as if I mind
that your heart ain’t exactly breaking

It’s just a thought, only a thought
But if my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
’cause nothing I have is truly mine

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
’cause there’s really nothing left here to stop me

It’s just a thought, only a thought
But if my life is for rent and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
’cause nothing I have is truly mine

If my life is for rent
And I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
’cause nothing I have is truly mine

Ohh.. 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

If my life is for rent
And I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
’cause nothing I have is truly mine
If my life is for rent
and I don’t learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
’cause nothing I have is truly mine
’cause nothing I have is truly mine
’cause nothing I have is truly mine
’cause nothing I have is truly mine
