New job, no money, no boyfriend, the drinking binge, pulling that terrible man, 8:30am hangover walks to the bus stop, getting perved by alcoholics, inappropriate work place crushes, living at home, sleeping on the sofa, sleeping in the back of Charlotte's car, Camberley with the marras, pissed in Janine's car.

Can one song sum up your entire summer?

Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave
Without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change, the less you feel

Believe
Believe in me
Believe believe

That life can change
That you're not stuck in vain
We're not the same
We're different tonight

Tonight, so bright
Tonight, tonight

And you know you're never sure
But you're sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And your embers never fade
In your city by the lake
The place where you were born.

Believe
Believe in me
Believe believe

In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there's not a chance tonight

Tonight, so bright
Tonight

We'll crucify the insincere tonight
We'll make things right, we'll feel it all tonight
We'll find a way to offer up the night tonight
The indescribable moments of your life tonight.
The impossible is possible tonight
Believe in me as i believe in you...

Tonight
Tonight, tonight
Tonight, Tonight
