And it's beginning to get to me
That I know more of the stars and sea
Than I do of what's in your head
Barely touching in our cold bed
Are you beginning to get get my point
That all this fighting with aching joints
It's doing nothing but tire us out
No one knows what this fight's about
It's so thrilling but also wrong
Don't have to prove that you are so strong
'Cause I can carry you on my back
After our enemies attack
I tried to tell you before I left
But I was screaming under my breath
You are the only thing that makes sense
Just ignore all this present tense
We need to feel breathless with love
And not collapse under its weight
I'm gasping for the air to fill
My lungs with everything I've lost

I'll Back You Up
"Do what you will, always
Walk where you like, your steps
Do as you please, I'll back you up
I remember thinking
Sometimes we walk
Sometimes we run away
But I know
No matter how fast we are running
Somehow we keep
Somehow we keep up with each other"
~The Dave Matthews Band, "I'll Back You Up"

I Want to Live
Sometimes I wonder
Why I work so hard to guard my heart
Till I hardly feel anything at all
I've spent my whole life building up this ivory tower
And now that I'm in it, I keep wishing it would fall
So I could feel the ground beneath me
Really taste the air I'm breathin'
And know that I'm alive
I want to cry like the rain
Cry like the rain
Shine like sun on a beautiful mornin'
Sing to the heavens like the church bells ringin'
Fight with the devil and go down swingin'
Fly like a bird, roll like a stone
Love like I ain't afraid to be alone
Take everything that this world has to give
I want to live
~Josh Gracin, "I Want to Live"

I Want To
"I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down these walls
The hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name."

Say
"Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for getting older
You better know that in the end its better to say to much
Than to never to say what you need to say again
Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open
Why?
Say what you need to say"
~John Mayer, "Say"

Pack That

Each Day
"Finish each day and be done with it, you have done what you could, some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day, begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Yourself
"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."

Smile
"At first when I see you cry,
yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes my smile
At worst I feel bad for a while,
but then I just smile I go ahead and smile."
~Lily Allen, "Smile"

Standing Still
"It's only when movement becomes the most natural state in our lives that we can finally begin to enjoy the motion. And it's only when standing still becomes impossible that we can finally embrace the kinds of changes that are inevitable in our lives."
~From "Running for Mortals"

Teardrops
"He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into.."
~Taylor Swift, "Teardrops on my Guitar"
