Life: Here & Now II

hot sun shines, warming up my face reminds me of the last time I was in this place wondering where I could possibly go to be loved by someone who really knows you're right here, just like always forgot to hear what you were saying that love is gonna be clear and though you're not, it's always here just because you love me doesn't mean you're gonna put up with my foolish ways but because you love me, I can see I'm gettin better at loving every day And one thing is becoming clear, to know me is to love me anyway there've been times, way outside the box I'd been blurring lines, picking at locks trying to get control trying to fill this vacuum in my soul Yours is a wild love that tames me A free love that will constrain me gives me what I couldn't have before watch other loves walk out the door just because you love me doesn't mean you're gonna put up with my foolish ways but because you love me, I can see I'm gettin better at loving every da

yeah she's more than a memory and he may be better as one but that doesn't help them move along

looking ahead to when you're coming back gives me something to help keep me on track figure it could be any day, but I don't know i want to hear about all the things you're doing makes me feel like you're coming back soon and I'll follow wherever you want me to go not just an apocalyptic dream it's the hope of my heart it's a divine scheme that you're coming back to deliver me gonna hold on to you with everything as you do what you do every day loving me making me whole, getting me ready trying to sneak a peak at what's up ahead makes some folks go nuts and loose their heads and forget the biggest part is already done me, I like thinking about that day but I've gotta live this one anyway and try to be all that I've read gonna dance, gonna sing, gonna celebrate this time waiting for you is not a waste all this time you're working on me can't wait to get my sleeping bag unrolled somewhere there in your fine new home although I doubt I&

I'm drifting off once again That far away look in my eyes Few see what's been happenin Even those that do don't fully realize Exactly what your love has done for me Or what it has yet to do How it brings me back to reality Or how much I love you it's forever on my mind if you ask me, you will find I'm forever thinking of the end game it's changing the way I see makes me think of more than me makes sure that I won't be the same it's true, I'm thinking of me and you with forever on my mind I've spent days planning For just a few months ahead I've looked at right where I'm standing And never considered where I've been right from the start, You have loved me sweet love I didn't deserve and when all around me things are crumbling that love's a power that preserves it's forever on my mind if you ask me, you will find I'm forever thinking of the end game it's changing the way I see makes me think of more than me makes sur

I'm not going to deny that it's hard to face the west when the sunset sky brings an aching to my chest for a different story that starts a few pages back You're showing me How love can hurt and heal Your knowing me Lets me know that this is real and destiny's designs are right on track you've got me looking up you've got me climbing out of this hole you've got me, sure enough and I'm ready to lose control give you the keys let you do what your love can do help me finally see the value of what I've been through it seems absurd when I look at the years the things I've heard and how I provoked such tears that cannot dry without the blood stains of grace but here it is I'm on a winding recovery road I'd be remiss If I didn't let my heart know the healing of your look or mercy's sweetest taste you've got me looking up you've got me climbing out of this hole you've got me, sure enough and I'm ready to lose control give y

I've got the white line and horizon To keep me company I'm gonna just keep on drivin Till the distance sets me free From the memories of the nights and days We spent together in those years From the echos of your whispers and the stain of your tears Another mile marker flashes by me unseen Billboards tell me the next exit Has the best dinosaurs I've ever seen The radio stations fade in and out but the songs are always the same as the ones you used to download for me And now it's starting to rain There's not enough distance between the shores of Myrtle Beach and LA To help me make any sense of why you left me alone that day I know I have no defense and all my excuses are so lame I'm just hoping that this road trip can get me back on the right road again Another stop to fill it up and guzzle some more caffeine The cruise control keeps me going fast Even through the wind and the rain Those clouds forming in the distance take on a familiar shape And the rainbow in

when i'm desperate, I'll go to any length put in all my effort, apply all my strength there are some things I feel I simply must have if I'm gonna die a happy man I'm desperate for you Longing for your touch I know what to do Pray it will be enough To get close to you Shed all this useless stuff I'm not confused I'm just desperate for you I can't figure out why I let this distance grow but the how is something I surely know I knocked down the boundaries you lovingly set Crashing through walls, and this is what I get I'm desperate for you Longing for your touch I know what to do Pray it will be enough To get close to you Shed all this useless stuff I'm not confused I'm just desperate for you Acting like a fool, a desperado I can see it now, just so you know Found an open heart, and I fell in real deep But your love is a promise I've got to keep I'm desperate for You Longing for Your touch I know what to do Pray it will be enough To get clo

there you were in the driver's seat lookin fine in the summer heat trying not to look me in the eye I could see the hurt in your face though you tried to leave no trace on the inside -- I was making you cry you can tell me to get out of your car but you can't just drive out of my heart though you can leave me in the parking lot baby you won't forget all the love I've got here in my heart, what can I say? you're driving away It ain't right, sure I know that's true It's not for me to be loving you Or to keep on pushing past your tearful "no" you've got me in a category and you're right, unless redeemed I'm a desperado who cant stand to let you go you can tell me to get out of your car but you can't just drive out of my heart though you can leave me in the parking lot baby you won't forget all the love I've got here in my heart, what can I say? you're driving away so here I am, flat on my face asking God, somehow in hi

"Surely you don't disbelieve the prophecies because you helped bring them about? You don't really suppose, do you, that all your adventures and escapes were managed by mere luck, just for your sole benefit? You're a very fine person, Mr. Baggins, and I'm very fond of you, but you're only quite a little fellow in a wide world, after all." -- Gandalf the Grey I want to be a person destined to be all that's within me that's my destiny Living life in the real world Finding hope in whom I see Listening to your every word Holding you closer to me I want to leave behind all the things that are keeping me from the destiny This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License

Sitting under the tree, in the shade I'm waiting here with my lemonade thinking about the things we've done Hoping that maybe you'll walk by If you see me, you'll say "hi" with a wink that tells me you're up for fun Then we'll go cruisin all around town Hair blowin wild cos the top is down Listening to songs that tell us about This eternal love we've found Gonnna wait here all afternoon Your message said you'd be back soon Can hardly wait for the sound Heels clicking on the brick sidewalk Hands waving as you talk And my heart as it starts to pound Then we'll go cruisin all around town Hair blowin wild cos the top is down Singing the songs that tell us about This eternal love we've found Take a little sip of my lemonade Like an answer to a prayer I prayed When I found this tree and I sat down...

I put the words out there, hoping you'll understand I do it for myself; yeah I'm that kind of man To those I've hurt, to those I've helped, and to those whom I have loved, Words that look for hope and resurrection I know you're not watching, maybe trying not to look Not sure if you'll even read the book I sing the songs; hope you sing along, or remember how to whistle As we walk from shadows into the bright noon.

the wind blows, messing everyone's hair reminds me that you're not here everyone knows my mind is far away they see you're making me be this way a daydreamer under a summer sky a space cadet with glazed eyes checked out of everything just thinking about you and me a voice speaks, asking a question I don't reply; not paying attention hands reach, wanting me to shake them my heart cries, feels like it's breakin a daydreamer under a summer sky a space cadet with glazed eyes checked out of everything wondering about you and me the keys click, I'm writing a letter i'm going to try to make this better there's no trick to not missing you just fly home, I'll be kissing you a daydreamer under a summer sky a space cadet with glazed eyes checked out of everything longing for you and me This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 United States License
