The Day Washes Over Me

Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you,

Over again.

Don’t make me change my mind,

Because I won’t live to see another day.

I swear it’s true,

Because a girl like you is impossible to find…

You’re impossible to find.

-Secondhand Serenade

 

The beauty of life is that it isn’t measured in money or wealth; instead, it is measured in what you accomplish and who you have been able to have an impact on.  It is hard to think that maybe the things that we have done aren’t enough to make us the person we want to be.  Or perhaps it is the things that we haven’t done that make our fate difficult to comprehend.  Whatever it may be, everyone wants to do something that defines them, whether it be saving a life or making enough money to keep their family alive.  It all depends on what kind of person they wish to convey to the rest of the world. 

 

I feel like I belong with you,

Like everything terrible disappears when I am around you and I can start over.

You took away the pain I felt when I was so alone,

And I forgot for those moments the problems that have forever haunted me. 

The laugh that came from my lips was sincere and I knew that I wasn’t trying to impress anyone.

I walked upon your skin for simply short minutes,

But with them, my heart walked on.

Tied on a string, I was finally happy and it couldn’t have been better.

You saw the tear on my face and softly wiped it away.

What I would do to live inside of you,

Where my soul forever lays amongst the ashes.

The sun shone down on my head

And when I looked up, Heaven was above me.

Blinded by the love you showed,

I stopped and saw myself in your glare.

 

Everything starts as a “blank document.”  When we want a clean slate we can get it, but it is never as easy as we want it to be.  People say that life is hard, and they are totally right, but the thing is that we can’t use that as an excuse to stay dirty.
