LisS1001 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Speeding on by without a care in the world You look out shyly as the fireflies twirl Only one way in, one way out But still your mind is filled with doubt Scenes flash before you but there's no time to look As you flip through the pages of your romance book People surround you but you couldn't feel more alone Each on their own journeys with their own way to go The colours race past you, beautiful as can be But you have no more time left to see Far away from home you make your way Down this straight path with nothing to say Cursing the man-men and beating the damned Feeling the skin of your lost lovers hand The rocks build up slowly as we lay our scene A cursed hand wraps around your echoing dreams But wildflowers bloom in this sea of despair They make their way home without a worry or care You know of nothing to come or what will come after Your cries drowned out by a small child's laughter ---------------- The rainbows are slowly fading black I've wasted all the time I can't get back You say it's not too late, so save this The blue skies are quickly fading gray I have no more words left to say You say you want me, so take me And as the rain is pouring down My feet are slipping on this ground You say you know me, so tell me Why is the sun bleeding into the air? Why does it seem like you care? You say it's not real, so prove it So here we go for the 100th time Searching for the words that just won't rhyme You say you can't leave me, so love me ------------------ Always put your best foot first Sustain your hunger Quench your thirst Praise God you're alive, for it is His will Treat smiles like drugs And hugs like pills Savor the moments you want to last Embrace who you are Don't cling to the past Songs don't have to be deep for people to sing And love isn't measured by the size of the ring When it's cold, wear a jacket When it's hot, show some skin Just think of this wonderful world we are in It may not be perfect There's war and there's hate So when it comes to love, why do we wait? If you love her then tell her Life's all about risk Eventually we all fall for this world's silly tricks Smile in good times Cry in the bad Just remember the wonderful journey you've had Link to comment
