40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:

    We'll do it all. Everything. On our own
    We don't need. Anything. Or anyone.
    If I lay here. If I just lay here
    Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
    
    I don't quite know. How to say. How I feel
    Those three words. Are said too much. They're not enough
    If I lay here. If I just lay here
    Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
    
    Forget what we're told. Before we get too old.
    Show me a garden that's burstin’ into life
    Let's waste time. Chasing cars. Around our heads
    I need your grace. To remind me. To find my own
    If I lay here. If I just lay here
    Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
    
    All that I am. All that I ever was. It’s here in your perfect eyes
    They're all I can see. I don't know where Confused about how as well
    Just know that these things. Will never change for us at all
    If I lay here. If I just lay here
    Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
