“It’s Not Up to You” - Bjork.

Possibly my favorite song of hers. Every time I fall into a routine, and think I might be able to guess what I’ll be doing this time next year, I remember the lyric, “Unthinkable surprises are bound to happen.” (Technically, it’s “about to happen,” but I’ve always heard it the other way.)

…Cause the evening
I’ve always longed for
It could still happen

How do I master
the perfect day
Six glasses of water
Seven phonecalls

If you leave it alone
it might just happen
anyway

It’s not up to you
Oh, it never really was

…

If you wake up
and the day feels broken
just lean into the crack
and it will tremble
ever so nicely
Notice how it sparkles
down there

I can decide
What I give
But it’s not up to me
What I get given
Unthinkable surprises
about to happen
but what they are

It’s not up to you
Oh, it never really was…
