你想知道答案吗？

sometimes, i'd rather not know the answer.

like the leak of the business results that CS mentioned?
if i were a biz student, i wouldn't check.
after all, what's the point of knowing something that isn't confirmed?
in jon tay's words (from his young childhood when his mom asked him if he wanted to go look at toys): what's the use of looking if you're not buying?

所以，请你不要现在告诉我。

sometimes the wait is the enjoyable part.
the wait of seeing a shooting star, rather than experiencing the actual streak.
the seconds that seem to last for years as you step up to take your penalty kick.
the short silence that comes just before the bridge of your favourite song.

it's the anticipation that i'm talking about.
that feeling you get just before a critical moment is about to happen.

then when your moment comes...

there's a still in the street outside your window
you're keeping secrets on your pillow
let me inside, no cause for alarm
i promise tonight not to do you no harm
i promise you babe, i won't do you no harm


and we're caught up in
the crossfire of heaven and hell
and we're searching for shelter
lay your body down
lay your body down
lay your body down


tell the devil that he can go back from where he came
his fiery arrows drew their beat in vain
and when the hardest part is over, we'll be here
and our dreams will break the boundaries of our fear


ohhhh

lay your body down
lay your body down
lay your body down


next to mine
