someone, someday, somehow

I'm never too sure if I'll always say the right things
Everyone knows I'm a little retarded that way
But hold your pinky out and I'll promise
If everything ends we'll always smile about yesterday

I can't tell you I'll always be there
You know me, some days I just want to disappear
But when we're lying down in this silence together
There are few places that comfort me better

I can't promise you never-ending happy days
We'll scream, bicker and have our shouting matches
But when the anger dies and we're left with nothing to say
I'll always swallow my pride and wipe the tears off your face

I'll never know if this lasts till next week or till we're pushing strollers
Maybe the future's bright or maybe it's bleak
But whatever comes today, tomorrow or whenever
Know that you were the one I was always after.

for me

Now that all the many ways that you occupy your days
Have left you without hope
You're caught between the way and not knowing the way
And you don't know which you need the most

You're listening for the distant waves
And watching all the stars coming down
The kind of things you do when you think that nobody wants to see you around

And i can see it in your eyes
Like i can see it the skies of these constant, turning days
And i can feel it like a curse
Yeah it's only getting worse
It's never too far away

They pulled you from the crying water
They took you to the broken ground
The kind of thing you do to a person when you don't wanna see them around
Break for me

Cause where you have light well you have vision too
But there's some things that you just won't see through
And so you feel you have no air in you
But distant eyes, distant eyes this is your future too

So if you want to run to the water
If you want to go to the sea
I will come and meet you there
And the waves will carry us free
Break for me

- Break For Me - Art of Fighting

for you

I remember the days when we had the time to sit down together and laugh at the world. Now, we find ourselves fighting new, unfamiliar battles. And at the worst of times, it seems like the world is laughing back.

Because sometimes we don't know what's wrong, or whether there's anything wrong at all. It could just be us; our emptiness a permanent scar that dries up and bleeds as it wishes. When we feel that familiar piercing feeling or look out a window on a gloomy day, we ask ourselves: where is our meaning? What's the point?

To be honest with you, I'm as clueless as you are. On some days, we learn to find our happiness in the simpler things. On other days, it doesn't come by as easy.

But you know, I still believe. It might not seem worth it now and we're not always sure where we're going, but we'll be fine. It's never going to be easy – we know that too well now, but let go of the things that bring out our ugliest sides and hold on to the things that make us smile. Little by little, we can make each step a little easier to bear.

I know you're as clueless as I am as well, but you taught me a lot of these things remember? When it gets too hard, I remember – the sun will always shine after every rainy day. Everything will pass. Even if it rains too long, too often, I'll always be around.
