Breathe….

2AM and she calls me ’cause I’m still awake,
can you help me unravel my latest mistake,
I don’t love him, winter just wasn’t my season
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to critisize,
hypocrites, you’re all here for the very same reason
‘Cause you can’t jump the track,we’re like cars on a cable
and life’s like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button girl,
So cradle your head in you hands
And breathe, just breathe,
Woah breathe, just breathe
May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist,
Ain’t been sober, since maybe October of last year.
Here in town you can tell he’s been down for a while,
But my God it’s so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him, maybe I’ll just sing about it.
Cause you can’t jump the track, we’re like cars on a cable,
And life’s like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe, just breathe,
Woah breathe, just breahte
There’s a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout
But you’re just as far in as you’ll ever be out
These mistakes you’ve made, you’ll just make them again
If you only try turning around.
2 AM and I’m still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, its no longer
inside of me, threatening the life they belong to
And i feel like I’m naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you’ll use them, however you want to
Cause you can’t jump the track, we’re like cars on a cable,
And life’s like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
woah breathe, just breathe,
oh breathe, just breathe.
Goodbye to You

Of all the things I’ve believed in
I just want to get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by
I’ve been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I’m hearing are starting to get old
It feels like I’m starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend
And I said,
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything that I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that I can’t live a day without you
Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light
But it’s not right
And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time
I want what’s yours and I want what’s mine
I want you
But I’m not giving in this time
And when the stars fall
I will lie awake
You’re my shooting star

“This” verses “Next”…
Posted on | November 13, 2005 | No Comments
The debate continues. If I am going to be somewhere or if I will see you on a day or week in the future, how do we ever know if its “this coming… day/week/month etc” or is it “next day/week/month etc”???
Lets says its Sunday now…. I say I am going to be in Portland THIS Friday… is that 3 days from now, or 10 days from now… is it more correct to say I will be there NEXT Friday?
I understand the “week after next” concept, but if its Sunday, and I say I will be there the the week after next, is that 14 plus days from now… (this also leads to when weeks begin, is it Sunday or Monday which monkey wrenches the whole thing up).
Personally, if it is Sunday, I would say I will be there “THIS” Friday, but it technically is also correct to say I will be there “NEXT” Friday as it IS the absolute NEXT Friday to arrive from today. The problem is the repetitive days in a week in a month.
The debate continues. I am starting to just use dates… it is Sunday the 13th, I will be in Portland the 21st of THIS month… oh god, will that be a problem? We are in this month, so….

In most cases, the harder thing to do and the right thing to do, are one in the same…
