brand new
Passed out on the overpass
Sunday best and broken glass
Broken down from the bikes and bars
Suspended like spirits over speeding cars
You and me were kings over the parkway tonight
And tonight will go on forever while we
walk around this town like we own the streets
and stay awake through summer like we own the heat
Singing "everybody wake up (wake up)
it's time to get down" (everybody, everybody wake up its time to get down)
And when I pass the bottle back to
Pete on the overpass tonight, I bet we laugh
I'm gonna stay eighteen forever (cut me open)
So we can stay like this forever (sun poisoned)
And we'll never miss a party (this offer...)
cause we keep them going constantly (...stands forever)
And we'll never have to listen (new haircut)
to anyone about anything (new bracelet)
cause it's all been done and it's all been said (eyeliner)
we're the coolest kids and we take what we can get
The hell out of this town
Find some conversation
The low fuel lights been on for days
It doesn't mean anything I've got another 500,
'nother 500 miles before we shut this engine down...
hard things: regret. not being able to put your thoughts into words. being misunderstood. surviving instead of living. putting up boundaries. not knowing how to show you care. losing trust. change with deep loss. the outside looking in. knowing a lot of information no one else knows. being humbled. missing friends. dealing with the consequences. being inconsistant. empathy. failing many times over. the end of the year. not knowing who you are.
blessings: awareness. being quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. understanding why. appreciating a good day. becoming a safer person. praying is active. being able to accept imperfection. being open to others that were also outside looking in. knowing that you are trustworthy. getting rid of pride. becoming more appreciative and less ungrateful. attaining wisdom. campassion. being a safe place. not being as afraid of failure as you used to be. a new beginning. knowing there is a purpose for finding out.
parallels? arguably... i love you all more than you know... more than i show... why? i'm sorry... again (that was a personal message-- one of the first).
