Fireflies Dance

Feeling kind of stressed
Felling lost
Take a step outside and breathe
Close your eyes and you'll be fine
Just listen

For the moon shines bright
The stars come out
The birds sing in the trees
And the fireflies dance

If you lost a love
lost a job
lost a faithful friend
If you're not sure
how to go on
And you're praying for an end

Just close your eyes and you'll be fine
Take a step outside and breathe
And listen

For the moon shines bright
The stars come out
The birds sing in the trees
And the fireflies dance

Know that this is not the end
Life will still go on
It gets better

The moon'll shine bright
The stars'll come out
The birds will sing in the trees
And the fireflies dance

Time

Time is the most terrifying thing in the universe
It is unrelenting
Never changing
It cannot be fought or won
It cannot be bargened with
You cannot change time
Trade time
Alter time
Get more time
It has no master
It can only be accepted
Every point in your life can never be had again
Every point you reach is an end
The end of your childhood
Your teens
Your 20's
So many endings
You cannot go back and relive your 20's once you reach 30
You are stuck where you are
There is no negotiation
It is terrifying to think
I will never be younger
I will never do all those things I wished I had done
I may get the chance eventually
But it will always be different
I will always be older
I cannot go back
I cannot try again
I must accept each day as it comes
And hope for more

I Thought It's What I Wanted

I thought it's what I wanted
I thought it would be fine
I gave myself away
and put my heart on the line

But it's not right
It's not real
You don't care
How I feel

And I thought it's what I wanted
I thought it would be fine
I gave myself away
and put my heart on the line

But I was wrong
Woah oooh oh
I was wrong

They never stay
They never care
They only want me
if it's fun
I need a love
beyond compare
I'm waiting
wanting
failing
falling
fading
Giving too much
Giving no more!

Cause I thought it's what I wanted
I thought it would be fine
I gave myself away
and put my heart on the line

But I was wrong
