Torn in two
Chase the higher ground
Where you'd rather be,
Where you might be found,
Face all aglow, to leave from here
To pack up and go.
But it takes some time to get away,
And you will have to build from what remains.
To run it takes the courage of a lamb;
To love, the fierceness of a storm.
Paloma, you wonder if you’ll miss the thunder,
And everyone’s staring, but no one is caring for you now.
Just spread your wings, latch on to the breeze.
Just take the leap... and you’re free.
Chase the higher ground
Where you’d rather be,
Where you might be found.
This move may erase the troubles in your head,
Or expose the absence of your soul.
And so, it takes some time to get away,
And you will have to tear down what remains.
And I can’t stand by for goodbyes,
So hold on to me, or lead the way.
Paloma, you wonder if you’ll miss the thunder,
And everyone’s staring, but no one is caring for you now.
Just spread your wings, latch on to the breeze.
Just take the leap... and you’re free.
Pace yourself when outrunning fear,
Take cover when it’s dark,
And keep an even keel.
In your world, you’re only a phone away,
But in my world you’re too far to feel.
And it may take some time to learn what’s real,
And you may have to beg and borrow,
And you will surely steal.
*Remember all those lonely sessions*
Turned into yesterday’s lessons
To never forget love.
To never forget love.
Paloma, you wonder if you’ll miss the thunder,
And everyone’s staring, but no one is caring for you now.
Just spread your wings, latch on to the breeze.
Just take the leap... and you’re free.
Paloma, you cry out you beg for connection.
The dreams you seek are straight ahead in every direction.
Now you’re free...
Now that you’re free...
Now that you’re free...
You’re free.
Today I watched the greatest thing of all
A flock of birds, preparing for the Fall
Paloma, Carbon Leaf
6.946 gallons of gas: $20,
89 mile drive on 95 north from Richmond: exhausting
getting lost after taking wrong exit: amusing
seeing the look on that special girls face when you show up after dropping you life for a chance to see her: priceless
Because I care I cant say no,
Because I care I tell you I will try,
Because I care I will give it everything I've got,
Because I care I would do it all over again in a heart beat,
And because I care about you I will wait for when you tell me it's time
And when you ask the answer will always be,
"As you wish"
