Lyricists Have Beaten Me To The Punch

Amazing lyricists have beaten me to the punch and managed to pinpoint exactly what I've been feeling for...well, far too long. I just had to share it as I'm sure many of you have felt this way or are feeling it now. The first is by Katie Thompson, who is much better for your soul than chicken soup could ever be. The second is by A Fine Frenzy...equally beautiful. The first is how I SHOULD be feeling. The second is much closer to where I actually am...ever the dreamer.

"I Know"

I'm not that dumb
I know exactly where you're coming from
I'm not surprised to see you're leaving tonight

Baby, I know
Baby, I know
I know

You're not in love
And two short weeks aren't enough
to make you stay
To make you miss your stupid train

Baby, I know
Baby, I know

I know it's too soon
and I know I'm too much
I know I'll survive without you, it's just
I don't want to

Cause now that you're here
Now that my skin is warm and clear
I'm supposed to run
I'm supposed to tell you this was fun

Baby, I know
I know

You said you were leaving
You said you weren't mine
And yes, I agreed the whole damn time

It's not okay to wish you'd simply sweep me away
I know

Baby, I know
I hear the train, you don't have to tell me that you're so late

Cause I know
Baby, I know
I know.

"Ashes and Wine"

Don't know what to do anymore
I've lost the only love worth fighting for
And I'll drown in my tears, don't they see?
And that would show you, that would make you hurt like me

All the same I don't want mudslinging games
It's just a shame to let you walk away

Is there a chance, a fragment of light
At the end of the tunnel, a reason to fight?
Is there a chance you may change your mind
Or are we ashes and wine?

Don't know if our fate's already sealed
This days are spinning circus on a wheel
And I'm ill with the thought of your kiss
Coffee laced intoxicating on her lips

Shut it out, I've got no claim on you now
Not allowed to wear your freedom down, no

Is there a chance, a fragment of light
At the end of the tunnel, a reason to fight?
Is there a chance you may change your mind
Or are we ashes and wine?

And I'll tear myself away
So if it?s that is what you need, there is nothing left to say but

Is there a chance, a fragment of light
At the end of the tunnel, a reason to fight?
Is there a chance you may change your mind
Or are we ashes and wine?

The day's still ashes and wine
Or are we ashes?

So, as I said, these are not my words. However, this is where I am. Sorry this post is a lukewarm cup of coffee.

I hope you are well.
