  • One Sweet Love - Sara B.

    Just about the time the shadows call
    I undress my mind and dare you to follow
    Paint a portrait of my mystery
    Only close my eyes and you are here with me
    A nameless face to think I see
    To sit and watch the waves with me till they're gone
    A heart I'd swear I'd recognize is made out of
    My own devices....
    Could I be wrong?

    [CHORUS]
    The time that I've taken
    I pray is not wasted
    Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?

    Sleepless nights you creep inside of me
    Paint your shadows on the breath that we share
    You take more than just my sanity
    You take my reason not to care.
    No ordinary wings I'll need
    The sky itself will carry me back to you
    The things I dream that I can do I'll open up
    The moon for you
    Just come down soon

    [CHORUS]
    The time that I've taken
    I pray is not wasted
    Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
    Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
    But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
    One sweet love.

    Savor the sorrow to soften the pain sip on
    The southern rain
    As I do, I don't look don't touch don't do anything
    But hope that there is a you.

    The earth that is the space between,
    I'd banish it from under me...to get to you.
    Your unexpected love provides my solitary's
    Suicide...oh I wish I knew

    [CHORUS]
    The time that I've taken
    I pray is not wasted
    Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
    Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
    But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
    One sweet love.

  • Funny quote

    I believe in looking reality straight in the eye and denying it.
    - Garrison Keillor



    Japanese macaques, also called snow monkeys, live farther north than any other non-human primates. Their thick coats help them survive the frigid temperatures of central Japan's highlands. But when the mercury really plummets, they go to plan B: hot-tubbing in the region's many thermal springs. National Geographic Photo of the Day

    "Just Give It Time"

    Still waters, heavy hearts
    Plans we make all fall apart
    Disillusioned and lost in the gray
    How can we fix the heart when it breaks?
    Don't know how much more you can take

    Chorus:
    Just give it time
    It's gonna get better
    Now is not forever at all
    Just give it time
    Everything changes
    Tomorrow comes today will be gone
    Everything's gonna be fine
    Just give it time, give it time

    Quiet landslide when nobody knows
    Regretted decisions that nobody chose
    Under water and sinking fast
    No way out, no way to get back
    What might have been is lost in the past

    [Chorus]

    When the world you're in is still again
    And it all fades out
    You've reached the end, begin again now

    [Chorus]

    [2x]
    Everything's gonna be alright
    Everything's gonna be alright
    Just give it time

    "Human"

    Can you tell me how we got in this situation
    I can't seem to get you off my mind
    All these ups and downs they
    They trip up our good intentions
    Nobody said this was an easy ride

    After all, we're only human
    Always fighting what we're feeling
    Hurt instead of healing
    After all we're only human
    Is there any other reason
    Why we stay instead of leaving
    After all

    Can we get back to the point in this conversation
    Where we saw things through each other's eyes
    Cause now all I see is ruin and devastation
    We all need some place we can hide inside

    After all, we're only human
    Always fighting what we're feeling
    Hurt instead of healing
    After all we're only human
    Is there any other reason
    Why we stay instead of leaving

    I'm smart enough to know that life goes by
    And it leaves a trail of broken hearts behind
    If you feel I'm letting go, just give me time
    I'll come running to your side
    Can you tell me how we got into this situation
    I can't seem to get you off my mind

    After all, we're only human
    Always fighting what we're feeling
    Hurt instead of healing
    After all we're only human
    Is there any other human [2x]

    "Praying to the Wrong god"

    She don't know you but she swear she knows your type
    Got a mouth full of opinions and most are wrong
    But they all sound right
    And the ring around her finger is only there for make you
    Wish you were the one for her

    So I'm praying to keep me from breaking
    From being another loser helpless at her side
    And it's crazy, it's like no one can save me this time
    She's got me praying to the wrong god every night
    Praying to the wrong god every night

    There's a reason no one knows her name
    If she don't tell you then she never has to change it
    She's allergic to "I Love Yous" and staying in one place
    For too long
    If you blink she's gone

    So I'm praying to keep me from breaking
    From being another loser helpless at her side
    And it's crazy, it's like no one can save me this time
    She's got me praying to the wrong god every night
    Praying to the wrong god every night

    Make her make me mean more
    Or make her go away
    Make her make me mean more
    Or make her go away

    I'm praying to keep me from breaking
    From being another loser helpless at her side
    And it's crazy, like no one can save me this time
    She's got me praying to the wrong god every night
    Praying to the wrong god every night
    She's got me praying to the wrong god every night...
    (Every night)

    "Perfect"

    I used to stare up into the sky,
    and fill the space around with my whys
    but now I've got it all figured out,
    and I'm embarrassed that it took me till now,

    The simple answers in her replies
    Unlock the universe with her eyes,
    She rips apart my world with her moves,
    oh while stealing all the light in the room

    (chorus)
    And I found someone to walk me through this life
    The brightest sun has opened up my eyes
    Tonight I need exactly who she is
    We're going to be perfect

    She can teach a melody to the birds,
    and problem solving without a word
    She can tell the richest man how to need,
    Oh right after telling him about me

    (Chorus)
    And I found someone to walk me through this life
    the brightest sun has opened up my eyes
    Tonight I need exactly who she is
    We're going to be perfect

    (Bridge)
    and in my life,
    if I can have one thing I don't deserve
    then I have never wanted anybody else but you

    She can do no wrong in my mind,
    so I take a seat while she takes her time,
    'cause I am here forever I say,
    so lock me up and throw the keys away

    (Chorus)
    'cause I found someone to walk me through this life
    the brightest sun has opened up my eyes
    tonight I need exactly who she is
    we're going to be perfect
    perfect

    "Beautiful Disaster"

    She loves her momma's lemonade
    Hates the sounds that goodbyes make
    She prays one day she'll find someone to need her
    She swears there's no difference between the lies and compliments
    It's all the same if everybody leaves her

    And all the magazines tells her she's not good enough
    The pictures that she sees makes her cry

    She would change everything, everything, just ask her
    Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
    She just needs someone to take her home

    She's giving boys what they want
    Trying to act so nonchalant
    Afraid to see that she's lost her direction
    She never stays the same for long
    Assuming that she'll get it wrong
    Perfect only in her imperfection

    She's not a drama queen
    She doesn't wanna feel this way
    Only 17 and tired, yeah

    She would change everything for happy ever after
    Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
    She just needs someone to take her home

    She's just the way she is
    But no one's told her that's okay

    She would change everything, everything, just ask her
    Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster

    She would change everything for happy ever after
    Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster
    She just needs someone to take her home
    She just needs someone to take her home

    "Until You Got Love"

    fourth floor,
    lonely white leader,
    sits there staring at the screen,
    types in
    can anybody tell me what it all means,
    tick-tock waitin' for an answer
    it's no use and all at once to her suprise,
    she gets one reply,

    until you got love,
    you know you got nothin',
    your missin that somethin thats gonna set you free,
    until you got love,
    you'll always be running,
    love is that one thing that everybody needs,

    sunday no one's at the office,
    just waitin at his fathers desk,
    workin' trying to fill the shoes that his dad left
    'dear son' he finds in a letter: 'please try your best to learn from my mistakes, you know work can wait', until you got love,
    you know you got nothin',
    your missin that somethin thats gonna set you free,
    until you got love,
    you'll always be running,
    love is that one thing that everybody needs,

    there's nothing cool in this room,
    nothing new in what im sayin,
    but sometimes the truth is what it is,
    so why should i apologize for lookin for a better way to live,
    way to live

    (x2) until you got love,
    you know you got nothin',
    your missin that somethin thats gonna set you free,
    until you got love,
    you'll always be running,
    love is that one thing that everybody needs

  • Restart button stuck

    Hi, it's been a while since I've shown my face, so here:

    Photo 92

    You know how when your computer freezes, sometimes the only course of action left is to take a deep breath, cringe (or close your eyes, or both) and press (and hold) that power button with the index finger of your right hand? Well, I went home Tuesday evening to try and do that for myself - physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually...I needed a restart. Did it work? Not quite as I'd hoped, but if I stay w/this geeky computer metaphor, I'll say I was able to do a sort of Ctrl+Alt+Del thingy to pull up the Task Manager and turn off a couple programs I had running in the background that'd been slowing down my system - not bad for about two days, eh? My brain feels too foggy to be aware of its current preoccupations at the moment I love what 10 hours of sleep will do for me.

    You know, I'm really thankful that I have a home and a family and friends to escape to. And...I'm thankful to have burdens that I'm carrying with people I care about, even when it hurts incredibly somewhere deep down that I can't access and have a good cry about. Well, except when I pray. Thank GOD for that! I might die without the occasional release of emotion~

    God, where are You and what are You doing in my life?
    Where are the fingerprints You're leaving for them to find?
    Will You show me a hint or two so I can lead them to to it?
    Or would You have me just sit here in this morass with them and sigh?

    I'm trusting Your presence is always with me
    As I'm still running slow and hard after You
    Your Word says You've been waiting there
    Even when I don't follow through
    So I get my head out of the muck again
    And realize who's calling me "Child!" it's You.

    So I'll run, run, run in the direction of Your heart
    Remembering Your touches and the gaze I once held
    I'll carry my wounds, theirs, and Yours, if You desire
    And when I finally find You, I'll lay them down
    Forevermore, and my heart will rise and swell.

    My Lord, I rest now in Your arms tonight
    and remember, sighing as I cry,
    That You've always loved me
    And at that, oh, so very well.
