Maybe....

I'm strong, but I break.

I'm stubborn and I make plenty of mistakes.

Yeah I'm hard and life with me is never easy...

I'm confusing as hell.

I'm north and south,

and I'll probably never have it all figured out.

But what I know is I wasn't meant to walk this world without you.

And I promise I'm gonna try to give you every little part of me...

I'm a lyrics girl...

Chocolate & Cigarettes

Living on a diet of Chocolates & Cigarettes

I wanna call you again

Ill drink tea sometimes when its cold

This is getting old

I call you again

Still too young to fail, too scared to sail away

But one of these days Ill grow old

And Ill grow brave and Ill go

One of these days

Blowing out the candles from my cake

I choke on the smoke as I look around the room

Everybody's wishing for no more mistakes

And all that I can think about is you

Lonely Road.

I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known...

...Don't know where it goes, but it's home to me

and I walk alone.

Drive.

Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear

And I can't help but ask myself how much I let the
fear take the wheel and steer.

It's driven me before

And it seems to have a vague, haunting mass appeal.

But lately I'm beginning to find that
I should be the one behind the wheel...

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there

With open arms and open eyes yeah

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there

I'll be there

Learning

Let me be the one you run to
for the rest of your life
I'd give up everything to show you
to show you there's still time
I could be the one you run to
for the rest of your life
I'm still learning how to love you
You're the only one that's worth the fight

Don't hold your heart too long
you'll find yourself alone
You've got time, we've got time



- Green River Ordinance -

I've been in love with you ever since you opened for David Cook.



Especially you Josh Jenkins - marry me? :)

Anytime.

There's a place where I go to take the edge of the day,

when the radios up your face fades away,

flicker flicker

dim and fade to black.



With a back pack packed,

and a mark on the map.

Gonna drive too fast,

Gonna not look back,

light the night with a blow torch and a match.

Help me...

Figure out the difference
Between right and wrong
Weak and strong
Day and night
Where I belong and
Help me
Make the right decisions
Know which way to turn
Lessons to learn
And just what my purpose is here

Be there.

If you're gonna be there, be there.
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight.
Start living. Out with the old.
I'm all lit up, must be the good life.

You're a cool breeze and the setting sun;
New Years, the 4th, wrapped into one.
You make me want to be someone that you could look up to.

If you're gonna be there, be there.
If you're gonna stay, stay tonight.
Start living. Out with the old.
I'm all lit up, must be the good life.

Come on get love.
Come on and try.
Come on now, what are you waiting for?

Mmbop...

"You have so many relationships in this life
Only one or two will last
You go through all this pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast
(And they're gone so fast)
So hold on to the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there
When you get old and start losing your hair
Can you tell me who will still care?"

I'm Permanent

Many of you may not have followed David Cook's rise to stardom like I did. I watched him from the very beginning of American Idol. Something many learned about him was that he had a brother, Adam, who had been battling brain cancer for over ten years and who actually passed away in May, 2009.
David wrote the song, "Permanent" for him. It's just an amazing song....nothing more to say.




Is this the moment where I look you in the eye?
Forgive my broken promise that you'll never see me cry
And everything, it will surely change
Even if I tell you I won't go away today

Will you think that you're all alone
When no one's there to hold your hand?
When all you know seems so far away
And everything is temporary, rest your head
I'm permanent

I know he's living in hell every single day
And so I ask, oh God is there some way for me to take his place?
And when they say it's all touch and go
I wish I could make it go away but still you say

Will you think that you're all alone
When no one's there to hold your hand?
When all you know seems so far away
And everything is temporary, rest your head
I'm permanent, I'm permanent

Is this the moment where I look you in the eye?
Forgive my promise that you'll never see me cry

Little girl...

There's a little girl.
In this little town.
With a little too much heart to go around.
Live forever, never say never, you can do better.
That's what she says.

Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)

I'm sick, it's crazy around here. School's have closed because so many kids were out sick.
Anyways, I don't have the brain power to make a creative entry....but this is a song that was written from a speech. I think it's awesome, and something everyone should read (or listen to). Sorry it's kind of long...but worth the read

--------------------------------------------------------

Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen)
by Baz Luhrmann

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’07
Wear sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience…I will dispense this advice now....

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before
you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you imagine.

Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing everyday that scares you.

Sing.

Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.

Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.

Get plenty of calcium.

Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.

Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.

Enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own..

Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.

Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.

Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on.

Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out.

Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen…
