Well I’m out here on my own
Followin’ a star
Asking on my knees, for some direction, please,
And, God, you know that’s hard
Cause I’m such a stubborn man
Lord, I’m stubborn as a mule
Even though I struggle some, I believe a change will come
And I hear you love a fool
I see a road and a flash of lightning
Let me tell you it’s frightening
Is anybody there?
Oh, I need somebody tonight
To care
I’m feeling alone and it just don’t seem right
Is anybody there?
Oh, I need somebody to be
To know that I’m good enough for love
To walk beside me
And as a woman in this world
Well you must have felt like this
That a man might come along
With another hard luck song
And betray you with a kiss
But would you reconsider me
Though I know I’ve caused you pain
I’ve taken vows with you
I believe them to be true
Now can we take a little rain?
We could hit that road in a flash of lightning
Maybe it won’t be so frightening
[i love this song, b.c i assure you that you won't 'get it' the first time...]
[try again]
In Other News… I Miss Being Able To Talk.
Sadness.
(but sometimes that’s okay)

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I’m through with playing by the rules
Of someone else’s game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It’s time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!
It’s time to try
I think I’ll try
Defying gravity
And you can’t pull me down!
I’m through accepting limits
‘Cuz someone says they’re so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I’ll never know!
Too long I’ve been afraid of
Losing love I guess I’ve lost
Well, if that’s love
It comes at much too high a cost!
…I’m defying gravity
…Think of what we could
do: together.
It seemed somewhat poetic - something that kept me smiling.
The progressive melody of this song filtered through my car; defined a soundtrack that was synchronized perfectly with the headlights of the oncoming traffic - teasing the trees around the bend with shadows -
The Windows Were Down -
The Breeze Was Brisk -
At 12:07 am, My Speedometer Read Fifty-Four Miles-Per-Hour -
This Was Completely Perfect - I Was Content.
Then…
I Listened To The Words Of The Song, And Realized That The Moment Was Not Completely Perfect.
Nonetheless, I Was Still Content.
*I Am Still Content.
[you don't know how much i like this.]
Rather:
[you don't know how much i like you.]
