about

Well... I was in love but knew in my heart she was not right for me... basically

lyrics

© 2015
I was listing all the things I wanted.
I was picturing how I’d like it to end
Yet the more I tried to hold on to,
The more slipped through my hands
I was burning the candle at both ends.
Pushing through to complete all those plans
Praised for my tenacious ambition
Forgetting why the gift was ever even given

I want learn how to give it away before it’s stolen from me.
I want to learn to let it go before it pulls me down

I’m glad now that you put me through such a run around
Cause next time I’ll spot the slow death from far enough away
I’d rather shed the disrespect and invest in what I can appreciate
Whatever happens happens I’ve learned this lesson
The greatest equation... seventy times seven

I want learn how to give it away before it’s stolen from me.
I want to learn to let it go before it pulls me down

Gotta love those paradigms that sucker punch and blindside
Only constants not reckoned for what they really were.
Something else you leaned on was stripped away but you live on. More whole and whole lot more aware
How depending on mere variables
makes powerful people like reeds tossed about in the air
I’m just a poor wayfaring traveler
In need to stay light so I can get there

So I say good bye just this one last time but only...
To remind me of all those silly little things
that had a hold on me and how I am
one step closer
to being free.
