happy songs

You're mixing me up now
You're pulling my teeth out
You're wishing my arguments away
I'll follow directions
I'll stick to your reasons
This isn't the season to go running away
-The Season by Quietdrive

Hey up town girl
Can you hear this down town song?
Wrote a couple of words to tell you
Right here is where you belong
I bet you walk the streets
Wondering who you’re thinking of
Hope you’re looking for someone to hold
And not at all in love
And I wonder if you can relate
To nights upon my pillow case
Eyes wide open middle of the night
You’re the last thing on my mind
Only the lonely know
Only the lonely know
Only the lonely know
What nights like these do to me, yeah
I keep asking myself
If our hands were meant to be
I know this town is busy,
But I live on Public Street
We can get out of here
If only for just tonight
Ride like some Rollin stone
That’s forced to waste your life
And I wonder if you can relate
To nights upon my pillow case
Eyes wide open middle of the night
You’re the last thing on my mind
When I’m under (when I’m under)
Is it me you’re thinking of?
With this light (get on your knees)
I pray you’re not at all in love
With someone else (with someone new)
With something other than me and you
Just wanna be where you are (Just where you are)
If ever you’re lonely I won’t be far
Downtown Song by Anberlin

And I'll do anythin' you ever dreamed to be complete
Little pieces of the nothin' that fall
Oh, May
Put your arms around me
What you feel is what you are
And what you are is beautiful
Oh, May
Do you wanna get married Or run away?
Slide by Goo Goo Dolls

Tonight, I will take my cross
Tonight, I will count this cost
Tonight, I will realize to take hold of this very moment
In this time, you draw me by these words You’ve spoken
I feel inside, this never-ending hope
I’ve placed all that I trust in knowing one day I will see You
The only thing worth holding onto is holding onto me
Tonight by Jeremy Camp

Sing this to me?

Walk towards me
I want to hear
The heavens singing over you
When you breathe
And look at me
I want to be captured by you

Gaze into my eyes
And let me know you’d fight
Thousands, for my love
Slip your hand in mine
Ask me to dance with you tonight
Just ask me for my love

I want to hide
What’s deep in my eyes
I’m scared to be known by you
But when I turn my head
And see you there
I want to be pursued

Gaze into my eyes
And let me know you’d fight
Thousands, for my love
Slip your hand in mine
Ask me to dance with you tonight
Just ask me for my love

A dream I won’t wake from
A story that will never end
The ground your feet walk on
Let me be there, let me be there

Gaze into my eyes
Let me know you’d fight
Thousands, for my love
Slip your hand in mine
Ask me to dance with you tonight
Just ask me for my love

Gaze into my eyes
Let me know you’d fight
Thousands, for my love
Slip your hand in mine
Ask me to dance with you tonight
Ask me for my love

Loving your neighbor...

2 weeks from today I will be in Neon, Kentucky. 12 hours away. Experiencing a different culture and a different way of living. Yesterday we had a meeting with everyone going on the different immersion trips and a speaker from one of the sites came to tell us of his life growing up, and what we should expect to see when we go. At the end of his talk he spoke of a love that these people have for us. We haven't even arrived, and they love us so dearly.
I can not help but remember the bible passage he read concerning this love. From 1John 4, but specifically John 4:19. "We love, because He first loved us."

He first loved me.
He still loves me.


I've been up for days,
Trying to find a way to write this confession down
Seems every line I writes amiss,
At least this I'll admit
For what I've done, I am not proud
But there's no need to pretend, no need for innocence
I've got to be honest now

My verdict has come in,
It says I'm guilty for my sins this time.
I thought I could escape,
But then I finally felt the weight,
Of my crimes.
This is passion, it's not love,
Infatuation never ends up right.
At least I won't be alone tonight.
'Cuz I don't want to be alone tonight.

The prosecution rests,
With convincing evidence.
It seems I've been deceived.
So now I stand alone and wait for the first stone,
To be cast upon me.

My verdict has come in,
It says I'm guilty for my sins this time.
I thought I could escape,
But then I finally felt the weight of my crimes.
This is passion, it's not love,
Infatuation never ends up right.
At least I won't be alone tonight.
'Cuz I don't want to be alone tonight.
If convicted, I will surely do my time.

At least I won't be alone tonight.
'Cuz I don't want to be alone tonight.

Slide

With Slide by the Goo Goo Dolls playing in the background, she feels beautiful. A smile stretches her lips, and she can't help but feel her heart pound and pound. Each second giving out more happiness to the next. He lives with all her faults, and kisses her cheek lightly whenever she doubts anything about herself. He squeezes her hand making her heart pound anymore. A giggle escapes her mouth, and red races to her face, but then he flashes that grin. That grin that could give world peace a run for it's money if he let it.
The way he sings into her ear makes her want to cry. The way he dreams so big for the both of them. The way anything is possible in his arms. Those strong arms, that never seemed important all those times before. He slides right up next to her like he was meant to for all of his life. He doesn't judge, he doesn't get mad, he doesn't lie. By standing there, with his arms wrapped around her those scars on her own arms are erased. That smile stretches her mouth again, and she never thought it'd be like this again, but here he was.
It's an ecstasy between them, it's a blindness, it's a waiting and a patience for something greater than they ever imagined. He's erasing her sins and doesn't care how she used to deal, but living alone on how she feels. He tells her he'll wait forever, he tells her she's beautiful, and it's only good to be alive when being with her.
All you can taste is this moment, all you can breathe in is every day coming and going, there's no need in missing anyone tonight. He tells her this, and she knows it's right.

Slide comes on again, and the smile hits her like a ton of bricks. She opens her eyes and he's right there and she slides right on next to him, wanting to breathe, taste, feel this moment forever, and the pains of every day life drift away in the blink of an eye.

Something on the surface...

This was on this weeks Post Secrets and I stared at the contradiction in the simple sentence. It summed up the contradiction of all my feelings I have been having lately. I wish the people who have hurt me are so miserable and guilty. I wish that they got up everyday like I get up everyday, wondering where they went wrong and wishing they could be a better person. I wish they could suffer as much as I am. I wish guilt followed them around like a bad habit.
But then...I think, I reflect. I want them to be happy, because I want to be happy. I'm supposed to hate them, but I couldn't imagine something bad happening to them. I want them to do well in everything that they dream of, I want God to bless them with lives that are unharmed and bless them with the gift of love and acceptance.

This is all one big contradiction, and not everyone can have that perfect happiness, because so many people suffer in this world for different reasons. I don't want to be why they suffer. I want them to forget about me and go on to a great life. If only life were that easy right?

Jason Mraz's You and I Both:
Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing But often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
Until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

Daniel Beddingfield Makes Me Cry

Well the title says it all, but to be quite honest it wasn't D-Bed who made me cry. I spoke with an old (former) friend tonight. She had been ignoring me, and when I thought all I had wanted was the truth...the truth wound up being a knife to the heart. It's funny how we find ourselves in these situations, it's funny how you remember people in places you never thought of them before. You think of memories that you're confused whether they even happened or not. People escape their pasts everyday, and for them it's so easy. How come I'm standing here, saying "God, move me on, bring me to the next stage of my life" and I'm getting shot down.

I'm not sure how that exactly works...but somehow it seems to be happening. I keep telling myself in my head to have a better attitude, and some days I really do fool myself that I'm better. But then there's sinking feeling in my gut and heart that won't go away. I wish I could simply tell my heart to stop beating that hard, but the outcome of that wouldn't be too pretty.

The old (former) friend was honest. She was just what I wanted from her. But it hurt. It hurt the most because she said something I didn't want to hear, she left a vague distant trace of hope...She said "yet".
Yet could mean whenever. It could mean a month, it could mean a year(s). How soon is yet?
She also said something else I didn't want to hear..."I know you're a good person". She's not supposed to say that, and more than likely if the others knew she said that to me she could get in trouble. Yet, she said it. Yet, she meant it.
What she said was supposed to, probably, make me feel better, make herself feel better because she prevented the crazy girl from not killing herself. But it didn't make me feel better. It made the guilt that much worse. It made it that much worse to block her, and to delete her from internet communication forever...
Well maybe not forever, because that "yet" is still lingering out there somewhere, it's intangible and was given no date.

I was making a bed today when I realized...so this must feel like to have your heart broken.
I cant say that that has ever happened to me, so now I know...and it sucks. Of course losing love of friends isn't really the same as love for boyfriend/girlfriend...but who knows...maybe it's worse?

Writing has always made situations like this a lot easier. I'm beginning to think that it's time to move on, completely. I think the old (former) friends words were too honest...and the future is supposed to be total honesty, but could I stand talking candidly with them like that in the future? Do I even want to anymore?

Should I write myself out of the history books
And mark a place in time for every chance you took?
Don't get me wrong
I know you've got your life in place
I've yet to take the hint some day
I'm sure I'll get the picture
And stop waiting up

Somehow I think I should stop waiting up.
Somehow that honesty has made me realize that it's time to be honest with myself and this world around me and move on from whatever the mess/hole I've dug myself into. Realizing that it'll never be the same again has been really hard...but I think I got that picture, and pray that one day "yet" will be "soon".

Lonely

It's an aching in my heart,
a tremble in my hand,
a sudden realization that it's gone.
Laughing is only temporary,
Smiles fade away
Sleep doesn't last forever.
Faith becomes just an excuse,
Your ridicule becomes a constant reminder,
etched into my brain.
Pain becomes permanent,
These scars can't seem to fade.
When will these memories cease to exist?
Will the thought of everything make me cry until the day I die?
I'm scared of this pain I've caused,
I'm afraid of the consequences of these thoughts...
I'm asking a Lord up above to save me,
Whenever He wants to...
Please Lord,
Save me.
