what life is worth...

verse 1:
let me hold my head up to the sky
let me feel the rain drops on my face
somethin that'll tell me im not dreamin
and what i have is commonplace
cause i've been feelin like i'm skatin
i'm not feelin straight about my life
i'm feelin like im livin this through guises
and i'm too happy to be right

i can't find my head through this
all's fallin into place
but it's too good to be true
and i
got another thing comin
there's no such thing as happy
for me and if i'm right
then i'll settle - feel better
just as all
falls apart

verse 2:
i'm prayin i don't screw it up this time
i'm hopin i don't get in my own way
we'll see if i can handle lettin go and
just livin day by day
i'm sorry if it seems i'm not open
i'm sorry i seem to want to leave
but this is just my own little way of
protectin me

i can't find my soul through this
all's workin out for me
and it's so good - want it true
but i
got another thing comin
i can not just let myself
relax and enjoy the ride
cause i'm scared - it's not fair
nothin this good
has worked so far

chorus:
one day
maybe
i can settle for the best
and i
just might
feel comfortable about all this
for now
i've found
i'm safer expectin the worst
may this
show less
of what i fear
more of what life is worth

tha story...

Nothing ever goes right for me. Everytime something good happens, it seems something bad happens for the sake of balance. So whenever I reach a point in my life where i feel it's nothing but cruise control for me from that point on, I get scared and wonder what will happen next to take everything away. I explained this to Tim one night that I was feeling exceptionally content with my life. He sent me a beat he thought could match my sentiment... It did - and this is what came of it.

tha dedications...

This one would go to everyone but I really owe it to Tim. He's the only person who understands the connection between the tone of the songs I like and my own personal life. He's the only one that could have found as appropriate a beat as he did to match my mood at the time. Because of that, I have the song I am now most proud of.
