The Big Idea

Stop now,
Open your eyes,
Can't you see it?
All the bright light,
It's all around us,
If I can hear you,
See you,
In all this light,
The world can't be all bad,
Right?
Wrong.
Because a million things could
 happen between now and
  tomorrow,
I might sleep and dream happily.
What if I never wake up?
I might smile and laugh.
What if I choke?
I could blink out of habit.
What if I'm blind the next second?
Because the world tries to play
 fair,
But in the end it's not,
Because the world isn't
 always beautiful,
It lies and hides the truth,
It cheats you out of everything
 that matters,
And it steals those we love,
This has never been a secret,
It's not unraveling as I speak,
It's just a challenge that
 we face,
Something we must live through,
And if it's possible at all,
Live your life to make the most
 of your time,
So that if all else fails;
And believe me, it might;
At least you did your best,
To beat the world at it's own game.

The Wrong Turn.

Aim for the sky,
Yeah I remember those words,
But somewhere on the way,
I took the wrong turn,
And now I'm heading down,
Even though I know,
Soon I'll hit the ground.
So I think of ways to stop,
It's a pity I've no wings,
Just one of many things
 that didn't work,
And I can taste my tears
As I fall head over heels
Into the abyss of all
 my fears
Realise that someday,
One day this could be you,
Losing all your grip on life,
Not knowing what to do,
Yeah I thought the sky
 was up,
But it looks like I was
 wrong,
All I see is blue,
I was so sure I was
 Falling Down,
But I must be going up,
Past all the clouds,
Level with the stars,
Until I hit some pearly gates,
And I think,
This can't be right;
I took the wrong turn.

This Year Is Gone

Time has passed,
And nothing lasts,
It seems, forever,
It was good,
But now it's gone,
Just hold on,
To all the times,
When we smiled,
And laughed together,
It was good,
But I can bet,
It will get better,
Time has gone so fast,
It hurts,
With goodbyes come tears,
Yeah we'll cry,
I'm sure,
But with summer,
Comes the sun,
And we'll shine,
Brighter than ever,
I'll see you soon,
It won't be long,
It was good,
But I can bet,
It will get better.

Showing Your Flaws.

Have you ever looked around
and wondered where you really
are?
Where are you going?
You seem to be lost.
There's nowhere to go,
Not for you,
because you feel you shouldn't
be here,
But believe me, you're wrong,
You are where you are for a
reason,
And you'll get to where you
should be in good time,
Be patient, don't rush,
I'll meet you when you arrive,
I'll catch you when you feel you're
falling and I'll pick you up,
Even when you let go.
Don't feel you can't tell somebody,
You are not weak,
But stronger for showing your flaws,
Just never forget,
You're not alone,
We're all the same,
And I'll always stay here.

A Walking Contradiction

She's a walking contradiction,
Yet she doesn't really know it,
Nothing seems to matter anymore,
And you wish that you could change it,
But nothing would ever change her,
She's a walking contradiction,
And doesn't know it yet.

You say that it's good,
That nothing bad will happen,
Just because, it hasn't happened yet,
I think it's sad that you believe it,
You think that it's all true,
She's a walking contradiction,
I thought you knew?

Well know your heart is broken,
And you're crying all alone,
Guess your heart won't be your
home now that she's gone,
So now you're wishing that
you listened,
To those complex contradictions,
Then you wouldn't be as listless
and on your own.
Just in case you missed it,
She's a walking contradiction,
Now you know.

Passing Time

And just the memories of that
Time is enough,
For now,
Because they spark something
Completely different,
Something I thought could never be,
Because it's just the start of
A dream,
A dream that I'll keep so close
I won't ever let it go,
And I promise I won't ever forget,
How important this has now become,
To me, to you, to the future,
Because when I close my eyes,
I shut them tight,
I can smell the trees and river,
I can feel the sunshine on my face,
And I can't stop myself smiling,
Because this makes me happy,
Just the thought of it for now,
I can imagine us years from now,
We both know it's the truth,
Because we won't let it go,
Just keep working for this,
For us and a dream,
I feel your arms around me,
This is just us,
Like a dream,
In our Savannah.
Until then, let's pass the time.

Forget Me

This time will be different,
Yeah right,
I know myself better than that,
So don't pretend you have the right,
To have an input on my life,
Because you lost the right a long time ago,
You don't know what's best for me,
The only person who knows me is...
Well lets pretend,
That things are good again,
Before you changed,
Before I moved on,
Let's pretend you had some self-respect,
And thought not only of yourself when you left me,
Like all those years i was important to you,
You actually cared,
You based your feelings on your heart,
Not a man that you met out of the blue,
But you changed,
Now I mean nothing to you.
So what's the point in remember whens,
When all I want is to forget,
Because nothing can be taken back,
And I'll make sure of that.
