Weary of the journey, hopeful destination/Stealing every moment, repeal incarceration.
Fusing our souls to what’s dearly departed, coaxing new hope to rise through the carnage.
Don’t say your last word as if it will last, don’t look for a future buried in the past/Come Hell or high water the fire still burns, do I fear what I know or what I might learn?
There’s a tender part/you forgot to hide/gonna leave a mark
Well I could look away, take it as you see it/walk away, pretending I was blind/ Fate guides me, the hearts a true believer so I.....
You’re never gonna change my mind, don’t be flashin’ Me that nickel and dime.
I’m never gonna change your mind, so here’s a lit-tle piece of mine.
Caught up in the web/of left unsaid
Found the reflections from a new man/as the screen fades into black.
Found the image of an old soul / as the screen fades into black.
Tuck that picture in my pocket/gonna move on with the past
Found that ticket from El Paso/ one way flight still takes me back.
Mem-Ries take a lot more than dreamin’
Didn’t waste one second we were stealin’
Leaves a mark some might find appealing
It’s a drug that’s oh so appealing
Or learn to swim straight off the deep end
Not a dime left in my bank account,mailing out this IRS check now/ the Vaseline really didn’t help ouch,yeah....
Still burnin’, really not sure how/haven’t seen that smile in awhile now.......just got this photograph....and every kiss I wouldn’t take back.
So hot, it’s gotta dull the pain, a little hurt left so much gained/ not one thing that I woulda changed if it’s all the same.....not one kiss I’d wanna take back.
Gotta feeling no one can explain, drawn in till your burned by the flame/ not a thing I’d change if it’s all the same......ain’t one kiss I’d wanna take back.
There ain’t, one kiss I’d take back girl/ or any night, livin in our own world......had our chance and we chose to dance.
Has to be an end for a new journey to begin, mov’n on know’n that there ain’t......
I surrendered to the pain, one last stroll down memory lane to where there ain’t one......
From hurt’n to heal’n to Not sure what I’m feeling, but I know there ain’t one.....
Ain’t gonna complain ‘bout the pain when so much was gained......”and there ain’t”
We could call it win or lose and I’d still choose.....”that there ain’t”
With everyday that passes by now I know why.......”there ain’t one”
of those lessons learned from each wrong turn....still there’s “notta kiss”
It’s a lit-tle warn and faded/but still clearly takes me back.
Wasn’t Looking For a Reason
The Lost and Found of Love
If it wasn’t worth the cost, then I never would have played/Don’t count it as a loss, when we grow our separate ways.
Had the vision of an eternal flame, burning in my soul/just a glow since you went away, awaits the new winds chance to blow.
Took to the start not knowing the end, no matter the outcome I’d do it again.
Had a couple shots of whiskey, with chasers of regret/Didn't plan on starting over, and I ain't ready yet.
You can bet this is gonna sound crazy, but we ain't over yet/ All though we've gone our separate ways, there's a piece of you I've kept.
Always seems after losing we wonder if we gave enough/Thought I'd laid it all on the table, but you called my bluff. -Now I sit here empty handed, just a few chips left to burn/ I'm all in come the next hand, including what I've learned.
Now I, have just A single secret “ to finding someone so rare”
But I, pray that end will never come.
Your sigh, tells me I have just begun “loving someone so rare”
Your eyes, sparks a flame for the rising sun.
Your eyes, outshine the bright new dawn.
When, the mornings uncovering, I’ll still be discoverin’
Tear, that clock down off the wall, ain’t enough time for all......
I, don’t want this night to end, whataya say that we begin
Folks are stressing over this ???? Don’t. To be an architect could be a restricted deed, once a project is finished it has reached its peak/but to bring this World music for so many to know, a song with its audience grows and it grows. Hang loose y’all and enjoy the ride ! ??
Turnin’ dreams, into memories “with someone so rare”
Now I believe, right before me “is someone so rare”
This silver screen, plays my dream “ of someone so rare”
Soon will come morning and the light of the sun/one good look at ‘ya.....will I choose to run? ?
Stuck in the moment wishing time would stand still/fightin’ Off the morning, no denying this thrill.
Adrift on a cloud of unanswered prayers/now you hold me down with the weight of a stare/from someone so rare.
I was crushed by this World like an old piece of coal/you dug in deeper, unearthing the gem of my soul.
Did Adam really think just an apple, was all that Eve was looking for?/ Just a little taste plants a hunger, and sweetens up the seed of wanting more.
Sleep can wait another night, my mind won’t rest on such a sight.
Change defines the horizon, as lightning claims the sky.
This life keeps trying to knock her down/so she keeps on rising for another round.
He was never one to pick a fight, but what’s at hand will face his might.
Just to fight, for another day, await the miracles that come her way/A simple wish, is all it takes, to mend this bow before it breaks.....she still believes
Believe in a new day and race to run, chasing rays of hope from a rising sun.
Miles Of searching to fix these mistakes/and three short words was all it would take.
Just as the present fades into the past/the lighthouse beckons, calling you back.
Verse after verse it rolls on in your head/ ‘TIL the lines on the road blurr the words that she said.
Stealing the air from you breath feeds the flame/of the burning desire to extinguish the blame.
I’ll keep driving ‘til I find it, ain’t no future in the past/ Only a Wrong Way sign tells ‘ya you should go back.
Get off this dusty road all littered with ruts, each bump a reminder of what happened to us.
So many just like us have been here before/ they’ve left their initials, but no key in this door
There’s no turning back once bridges are burned,but we can build new ones with the lessons we’ve learned.
Weighted by memories which heavy the heart, no climb would be easy but it’s where we must start.
Chasing the stars, thru a heavenly tone/With a ray of hope, to light the way home.
Bounded by darkness, now clearly in sight
I heard the rumbling sorrows,I felt the tremors of pain/Shooting me from the darkness, aiming to rise again
Soaring beyond the debris cloud/surveying what must be done/Our heart and wings in rhythm/the vortex revealing the sun.
a gentle rose caressed by dew, waits upon a day anew. The wind and hail has brought the fight, as the chilling cold....alone in the night/. Yet comes morning and an Eastward glance, bringing the music with which to dance.
Clay Mills commented on BigC43's lyric:
"nice idea, but we have so many lines in first verse that rhyme with "past" and it's in the title of the song. Let's move on to a different rhyme in the 2nd verse. It will help keep things interesting for the listener."
(more)"Tuck that picture in my pocket/gonna move on with the past"
