So Far Away...

So far away she sits, lost for words, lost for hopes and dreams
Though she's been here countless times before
It get's so hard to just ignore
That aching curiosity that screams...
"Well what if she was right and all of you were wrong?"

 & it's key, you know, you'll learn one day..
leave no traces, she'll pick up the pieces someday.
& i heard what you said, you wouldn't be moved.
we're all holding our breath in hope of some good
but we lived while we could, and we have no regrets.

.. only the things we swore we {always} meant.

Currently Listening Siren Song of the Counter Culture By Rise Against Swing Life Away see related

Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow

I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand....until you hold my hand

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

Swing life away

Currently Listening Corinne Bailey Rae By Corinne Bailey Rae Put Your Records On see related

Three little birds, sat on my window.
And they told me I don't need to worry.
Summer came like cinnamon
So sweet,
Little girls double-dutch on the concrete.

Maybe sometimes, we've got it wrong, but it's alright
The more things seem to change, the more they stay the same
Oh, don't you hesitate.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely,
Sipping tea in the bar by the roadside,
(just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you,
Got to love that afro hair do.

Maybe sometimes, we feel afraid, but it's alright
The more you stay the same, the more they seem to change.
Don't you think it's strange?

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.

'Twas more than I could take, pity for pity's sake
Some nights kept me awake, I thought that I was stronger
When you gonna realise, that you don't even have to try any longer?
Do what you want to.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down.

Oh, you're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow

Right so it's been a while, kinda forgot about xanga, plus myspace can get pretty addicting sometimes lol. So let's see, lately i've been thinking about the future, a whole lot, lots of stuff changing around me, nothing i can do to stop it, obviously, life is all up in the air and leaving me hanging... Through all of this... i've learned so much, first i wasn't at all ready for the leap, but sometimes we just have to grab God's hand and realize that no matter what, He will never leave us jumping alone, and though it feels empty handed, sometimes that is the best and sweetest surrender.. that's my summer for you, wrapped up tight, and shoved into a little box with a one liner heading... sweet surrdener, i mean sure.. for me it felt like one letdown after another, but God knows exactly what we need to open our eyes, and idk about you guys but im a subborn person, probably one of the most stubborn people you know, and God knows that as well... so this has been on crazy ride. & sure it's not over and it's most definitely not easy, i've said i'd change and move along.. get over stuff for soooo flipping long.. lol... but there i am.. only a step ahed.. subconsciously thinking "ok yeah God you helped me, now i can take it from here i think" don't think so.. cause that's how it's always been, and where has it always left me, broken, hurt and feeling alone..literally, so that's what im working on... constantly remembering God is right there with me, He is the only way out... there is NO better way... it's just not possible.. sure we look back on mistakes and that oh so broken road.. but there's a better way, look back on the past but don't dwell on it.. there's a difference.. dwelling on something puts you right back there,  gets you wishing you were still there.. not a good state of mind.. let me tell you, but looking back.. and realizing how much you've learned, how much you've grown... how much God has blessed you.. how powerful is that?! it should blow your mind... that's God, and i still have soo much to learn... life's a journey... but if we keep God infront and the past in the rear view mirror.. good to go, not saying you'll never face trial ever again cause hey God never said it would be easy.. He said He'd be there... end of story.

So that's my rambling for the night...  Tomorrow im up going to work w/ mom and des, getting my hair colored and hanging out there... Katie dear i miss you and i really wanna try to get a ride up next week and visit you all! <333 sweet dreams, till next time

P.S. note to self : less computer... more BASKETBALL

So i guess there's not really much that can be said... lots has happened, this summer has already been a rollercoaster ride, God has been teaching me so much [as He always does, without fail ] =) & it's great to see the growth, also i've noticed spiritual growth in others, and idk about you but i just find it absolutely amazing! Hmm well i shall save the "profound" thoughts for another day, not feeling much in the mood for it, lyl xoxo
