Soundtrack for life: contemplating life

Having one of those moments where I'm pondering what I'm doing here, and where I want to be, in life, or just in general. Dido's track just played on my iPod, so here we are...

Life for Rent - Dido

I haven't ever really 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,
Cuz 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 more simply.
I have no idea what's happened to that dream,
Cuz 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,
Cuz nothing I have is truly mine.

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?

If my life is for rent...
