Need a Slow Down

And now I must confess, I could use some rest
I can't run at this pace very long
Yes it's quite insane, I think it hurts my brain
But it cleans me out and then I can go on.

Ever After



Storybook endings, fairy tales coming true
Deep down inside we want to believe they still do
In our secretest heart, it's our favourite part of the story
Let's just admit we all want to make it too

Ever ever after
If we just don't get it our own way
Ever ever after
It may only be a wish away

Start a new fashion, wear your heart on your sleeve
Sometimes you reach what's real just by making believe
Unafraid, unashamed
There is joy to be claimed in this world
You even might wind up being glad to be you

Ever ever after
Though the world will tell you it's not smart

Ever ever after
The world can be yours if you let your heart
Believe in ever after

No wonder your heart feels it's flying
Your head feels it's spinning
Each happy ending's a brand new beginning
Let yourself be enchanted, you just might break through

To ever ever after
Forever could even start today
Ever ever after
Maybe it's just one wish away
Your ever ever after

(I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss)

Oh, for ever ever after

Wade Through the Night

Shadows, timeless days
Laughing in the sunlight
Losing our ways
Grass underneath us
The sky above
We're in the middle
Surrounded by love

Let's kick off our shoes
And wade through the night
The air's too warm
The Moons just right
We'll sing to the stars
And dance by the light
As we kick off our shoes
And wade through the, night

When I look around
I just can't deny
Everything you, oh
Everything I
Tracing your outline
Against a painted sky
Connecting the dots
Between you and I

So let's kick off our shoes
And wade through the night
The air's too warm
The Moons just right
We'll sing to the stars
And dance by the light
As we kick off our shoes
And wade through the night

We'll hike up our jeans
And get our feet wet
Maybe we will dance until the dawn

So let's kick off our shoes
And wade through the night
The air's too warm
The moons just right
We'll sing to the stars
And dance by the light
Let's kick off our shoes,
Let's kick off our shoes
And wade through the night.

Trauma

“It follows us home, it changes our lives, trauma messes everybody up. But maybe that’s the point. All the pain and the fear and the crap, maybe going through all that is what keeps us moving forward. It’s what pushes us. Maybe we have to get a little messed up, before we can step up.”

~Alex Karev, Grey’s Anatomy
