if you want it, come & get it

i've been waking up slowly,
savoring the same old dream.
and somewhere between
the folds of your memory
i was sleeping soundly

There is a point you reach when you say,
"I don't care about anything anymore."

Growing up back then had its perks
We watched great television and learned how computers worked
But before you dismiss us as a shallow sugary cereal generation
Take a look at our life education
You may have seen your president get shot
But we see brutal violence in our school parking lots
You came out of Vietnam with a few heroes
But there were way more deaths at Ground Zero
You were judged by your color and race
But that was before school shootings took place
So life may have been tough back in 1967
But was it worse than seeing what happened on 9/11
Was the media pumping you with fear all the time?
Harvard was a famous school not Columbine
And no one knew what mad cow disease was
You fought battles overseas but we fight ones with ourselves daily
So next time you think you're traumatized and real
We'll be in the bathroom throwing up our meals

Her life was beginning to make sense again, although she couldn’t say she was enjoying it.
But her mind was clear, and her heart was not constantly as heavy.
Only when she thought about him. But she knew that in time, she’d survive it.
She had done it before and would again. Eventually the heart repairs.

If looks could kill, I'd be in trouble right now
Time stands still when you're around
Well I gave you all my time and you gave me all your lies
And you've just come around to say goodbye

Now I'm driving around to get lost,
just to find myself at any cost.
If I hit the brakes, my heart will stop.
I'm taking comfort in the dark.

should i show you me?

Time it makes you old, experience makes you wise.

And it's only a fool who judges life by what he sees in other people's eyes.

Never be afraid to try something new because life gets boring when you stay within the limits of what you already know.

i wanted to tell you all my secrets, but you became one instead.

I've tried forgetting you but that didn't seem to work.
So I've come to terms with who you are and who
you've been. The only thing I wish you could
see what you really could be. Your past doesn't make
you, nor decide what you are. And I know you're not sorry,
but I forgive you.

There ought to be a place to go when you can't sleep
or you're tired of getting drunk and the grass
doesn't work anymore, and I don't mean go on to
hash or cocaine, I mean a place to go besides death
that's waiting and a love that doesn't work anymore

Time was passing like a hand waving from a train
I wanted to be on I hope you never think about anything
as much as I think about you.

People that are sensible about love are incapable of it

If my heart was a house, you’d be home.

Fearless is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even if you can’t breathe without them.

I know what it does to you, I know. Maybe that’s why we hold on as hard as we do. We just can’t believe that such a miracle can happen to us twice. But it can, someday you’ll find it again.

Sometimes you fall, spinning through space, grasping for the things that keep you on this earth. Sometimes you catch them. They can be the hands of the people you love. They can be your pets- pups with funny names, cats with ferocious old souls. The thing that keeps you here can be your art. It can be things you have collected and invested with a certain sense of meaning. A flowered, buckled treasure chest of secrets. Shoes that make you taller and, therefore, closer to the heavens. A suit that belonged to your fairy godmother. A dress that makes you feel a little like the Goddess herself. Sometimes you keep falling & you don't catch anything. Sometimes you catch them, sometimes you don't. Sometimes, they catch you.

I'd hate to go through life unsure if I ever really lived at all.

It's a cold, hard road when you wake up, and I don't think that I have the strength to let you go

Here’s to the people forever loved who make our hearts want to scream. Cause I love you with all that I am and my voice shakes along with my hands.

Why long for things if they're not meant to be ours?

“Just one thing,” she says, raising her head to look you straight in the eye. “I want you to remember me. If you remember me, then I don’t care if everyone else forgets.

Look, lots of people lose themselves in love.
It's no shame. They write songs about it.
The hitch is, you can't stay lost.
Sooner or later, you have to get back to yourself.

It seems like the simplest concept:
just push everyone away, and you'll never get hurt.
However, the simplest isn't always the most effective.
Someday, someone is going to find their way in,
and they're going to leave you on your knees.

i want to dive head first into your arms,
give into your good looks and charms.
sleep all day and love all night.
forgive every stupid, petty fight.
i want to do more than sit and remember.
i want to relive all the moments where you made me shiver.

She turned and said "it's times like these that I wish I was a believer, so I could do something to give me hope. Something to make me believe in anything at all."

Sometimes, I just don't feel the desire to be around anyone I am always around."

I could feel the wanting catch up with me. But if I have to want it, it’s not really happening is it? It’s just more wishing that’s all. I wish I didn’t wish so much.

Look at where you've got yourself now.
You think the world is trying to bring you down,
you think that moving on means getting passed around,
but every move you make just takes you further down.

So i havent heard no news on my navy seal :( he gets on myspace alot now but thats about all i have. i am at the point where i think i am actually going to try to move on. believe it or not.. im not sure if i do yet.. im just stuck. how do you get over the one person you think your suppose to be with forever? because moving on mean forgetting.and not just forgetting but forgetting everything and im not sure if im ready for that or if i even want to forget. i just want to love him with all i have for good or worst, threw thick and thin.. i just want to love him forever

tell me its over, ill still love you the same

You know you're not the only one
who has a lot to overcome. And the
time has come then you move on,
because you've been crying for too long.
Sometimes life is so unkind,
but change is never a waste of time.

Who determines when the old ends and the new begins? It's not on the calendar; it's not a birthday, or a new year, it's usually an event - big or small, a time or place that changes us, ideally gives us hope, a new way of living and looking at the world, a way to let go of old habits, and to remember old memories. What's important is that we never stop believing that we can have a new beginning, but also to remember amid all the problems there are a few things really worth holding on to.

You could see such distance in her eyes,
she's in a daze, her mind's somewhere else.
She's a mystery, she's creating a different kind of vibe.
Little do you know, she's holding so much inside.

You wait, wanting this world to let you in. And you stand there, a frozen light in dark and empty streets.

"Today is your big moment. Moments, really. The life you’ve been waiting for is happening all around you. The scene unfolding right outside your window is worth more than the most beautiful painting."

sometimes you have to be your own hero.
