Don't convince yourself you're over, don't convince yourself you're done, just because the things around you seem heavy, doesn't mean you can't get off this ground.
My voice is soft, but oh, my heart roars!
Look Here are we On this starry night staring into space And I must say I feel as small as dust Lying down here What point could there be troubling? Head down wondering what will Become of me Why concern we cannot see But no reason to abandon it Time is short but that's all right Maybe I'll go in the middle of the night Take your hands from your eyes, my love Everything must end some time Don't burn the day away
Take these chances Place them in a box until a quieter time Lights down, you up and die
For a moment this good time would never end You and me Just wasting time I was kissing you You were kissing me love From good day into a moonlight
I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles I'm coming slow but speeding
Just knowing that the world is round Here I'm dancing on the ground Am I right side up or upside down? Is this real or am I dreaming?
The brightest star on a cloudless night Some kind of miracle, almost empty sky... Just as the bite of the blade wakes the absent mind There's time to dream and there's time to open your eyes
Always walk where you like your steps.
Funny the way it is, not right or wrong, somebody's heart is broken, and it becomes your favorite song.
Is this not enough? This blessed sip of life Is it not enough? Staring down at the ground Then complain and pray for more from above Greedy little pig
I was regularly advised not to go into music, that I should give up that foolish dream.
I think some people would say that I do overwhelm the words with the music, and sometimes thank goodness I do.
I never went to college - I barely got out of high school.
