Well I woke up in mid-afternoon cause that's when it all hurts the
most
Just as in TUIB, waking up, time, refers to
day..this time its mid-afternoon
so, ive wasted alot of my life, now I have
finally woke up, but realized what I have
taken advantage of, thats what hurts
I dream I never know anyone at the party and I'm always the host
I am surrouned by all these people, some great,
some good, some...not so good..
But i dont know anyone of them yet, but yet
I feel I should, they are here
in my dorm, they are my family for the next
4 years
If dreams are like movies, then memories are films about ghosts
I'm sorry guys, i love ya all...but by only
living on our memories will make us
sad and depressed. We need to go out
and create more memories, and not live in
the past
You can never escape, you can only move south down the coast
We always have to deal with living in the
future, and move on.
Never can we be satisfied with memories, we
should always strive to create more
Well, I am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame
"There is one thing I know, and that is I
know nothing", to try to find
fortune and fame is pointless, stupid.
One should work as hard as then
can, and if fortune comes with it, then it
does.
I am an acrobat swinging trapezes through circles of flame
We have to take risks if we want to succeed.
If you've never stared off in the distance, then your life is a shame
If you have never dreamed about your goals,
your future, and try to plan
it, then you are missing out. Everyone
needs to dream about the future
every once in a while
And though I'll never forget your face, sometimes I can't remember
my name
Of all the people i have come to know and
love, I will never ever
forget them, although (espically rite now)
I can often forget who
I am, and what I want to be
Hey Mrs. Potter don't cry
Hey Mrs. Potter I know why but
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me
Well, there's a piece of Maria in every song that I sing
In everything I do, I often see the the faces
of those I have left behind
And the price of a memory is the memory of the sorrow it brings
And becoz I remember all those I loved, everytime
I think about you
all, I get sad again having to miss you
And there is always one last light to turn out and one last bell to
ring
There's always going to be parting's in life,
and life is full of "last good-byes"
It seems like a never-ending process, after
HS we say bye to people, then again
after college, always one last good bye to
say (thanks, brad)
And the last one out of the circus has to lock up everything
The last one to leave the burg will have to
"close the book" on our lives
as a group together, because it will never
be the same( abby this would be you)
Or the elephants will get out and forget to remember what you said
elephants = nasty accuastions, rumors, things
done in the past.. we will really
want to forget these, espically next summer
when we try to become friends again
like before
And the ghosts of the tilt-a-whirl will linger inside of your head
Titl-a-whirl = fun amusement = put put games,
movies, ball games, and whatever else
we did for fun, dont let all the fun we did
haunt your memory
And the ferris wheel junkies will spin them forever instead
If we let them, we will get too caught up
in old memories. It's alright to keep pictures of the past, but dont
constantly dwell on those pictures
When I see you a blanket of stars covers me in bed
I would be a liar to say I dont wanna
go back to last summer, just hanging out, outside on our blankets
Chillin' under the stars, gazing up at them,
wondering what are futures hold
Hey Mrs. Potter don't go
Hey Mrs. Potter I don't know but
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me
All the blue light reflections that color my mind when I sleep
Now I am at college. Sure when I lie
in bed I reflect on life in general, and they even enter my dreams at
times( missed chances, mistakes I can not
correct, things I can not control) .
And the lovesick rejections that accompany the company I keep
As dylan sang "I've met a man who was wounded
in love", no matter who I hang out with, odds are everyone
has been hurt in rejections before( and are
still getting hurt all the time here) And also, not only
being rejected in one way, but there are many
ways we all get rejected daily, and it hurts me to see it happen
to my friends. Finally, the way some
people I know Reject their faith makes me lovesick.
All the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep
The truth is there, some of it is bad.
The deepest wounds sometimes are either the truth itself or viewpoints
of the truth
Hey I can bleed as well as anyone, but I need someone to help me sleep
No one is immortal in this
world. Though it may look like I finally have solved my problems,
and no longer
have problems in my life( that I can take
in full stride atleast), some problems still bother me, and I need
others to help me clear my mind( Going to
Mass 3 nights a week helps out a lot, trust me. Lets me clear all
my thoughts away)
So I throw my hand into the air and it swims
I can't stop the inevitable future.
God has his plans for me, so all I can do is go along for the ride, enjoy
every single moment of it, and make the most
of it.... The greatest thing a person can do for themselves is
SMILE!!!
in the beams It's just a brief interruption of the swirling dust sparkle
jet stream
my life is very very short in God's overall
plan. The world has existed for millions of years before me, and
will
last for millions more. I am but a speck
of dust in this universe, but even the smallest speck can alter the course
of history
Well, I know I don't know you and you're probably not what you seem
This is college, so often times, I met people
who are trying to change themselves by being someone different. I
can sense that, and understand why they are
doing that.
But I'd sure like to find out So why don't you climb down off that
movie screen
These people have potential to
become great friends of mine( who knows, future wife?..lol) but I wish
they
would stop acting to impress, and be themselves
around me.
Hey Mrs. Potter don't turn
Hey Mrs. Potter I burn for you
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me
When the last king of Hollywood shatters his glass on the floor
College is tough for a lot of people, and
even the best get frustrated at time
and orders another Well, I wonder what he did that for
But when the tough get going, the going get
tough. Dont let frustration get the best of you. When you get
knocked down, jump right back up and keep
going.
That's when I know that I have to get out cause I have been there before
Life is not a race though, and if u stumble
too much you better take better care of yourself. Often times
it is better to leave a problem behind for
a while, and find a place to forget about it ( Again, Church is wonderfull
for this)
So I gave up my seat at the bar and I head for the door
Leaving the stress-full
college life to find my place to be alone
We drove out to the desert just to lie down beneath this bowl of stars
We = God and I, places to be alone.
Here I am so lucky to have the Grotto to goto if I want to be with God
Or numerous beautiful scenary places ( lake,
woods, even the Quad on a Sat night)
We stand up at the Palace like it's the last of the great Pioneertown
bars
With all this new development going on everywhere,
places to go, enjoy nature, be alone with God, and relax
are becoming very very dim.
We shout out these songs against the clang of electric guitars
One place I try to find solace, is on Saturday
nites, with my acoustic guitar. Unfortuntely, all the rumbling
bumbling drunks act as a electric guitar.
Nothing ruins the moment of peacefullness like them, oh well
You can see a million miles tonight But you can't get very far
We can see everything going
on in the world today, with the Internet, TV, and everything else.
We also
understand the problems society is facing
now, and the awful state of our country. But we as individuals
struggle to get very far without God's help
Hey Mrs. Potter I won't touch and
Hey Mrs. Potter it's not much but
Hey Mrs. Potter won't you talk to me
