I woke up this morning and could feel the thunder. It was lovely.
Some of these lines are just too great. Thanks, Doni, for the cd.
Sun - Mae
I'm a mess, I guess.
It's what I've asked for, it's what I've needed.
Well, you know me better than that,
or at least you did then something happened.
But once again, well, something's happened.
The confidence you held in us is
the rope we almost hung ourselves with.
At times I wonder if we really took the steps
to break right through it.
I know that there were better days,
but to see the light and to feel the rays.
Life was always back and forth and
we were idling or making useless progress.
Waiting for the rain to stop.
Destination: beautiful.
Seems that I'm still waiting for the sun.
(Whoa ya) Someday will come back to us,
if you're willing, let it go.
Why won't you just let this be your sun? (oh oh)
It seems like yesterday we had the world our way.
But some (whoa) say we're headed for destruction.
I'm asking you "What in the world should we do?"
This light is green our break is through.
Are we not trying or are we trying too hard?
Well, you know I never want to miss,
I hold on tight and reminisce. But it's bittersweet to me.
When time stands still as it's trapped
inside the letterbox you gave back to me.
But I'm the one who keeps on reading.
But I'm the one who wants to let it go.
I'm the first to speak. You're the last to know.
Another scene that we're creating,
I need to know if we're still making useless progress.
