One Year Later

It has been one year. And while it feels like a year, it also feels like a whole lot less than that. I'm not going to get into it, probably because I still don't have the words to explain it. I'm just going to post some appropriate song lyrics and accentuate them when I believe accenting is necessary...and leave it at that.

There are probably better songs, but these three have played a big impact in the last 365 days. Including one of the biggest instances of musical providence I have ever experienced. Other songs under consideration were Good Charlotte's "Dance Floor Remix" , All American Rejects' "Gives You Hell" , Lifehouse's "Broken" , Kelly Clarkson's "Sober" , "My Happy Ending" by Avril Lavigne, and "I Don't Love You" (and a handful of other songs) by My Chemical Romance.



James Blunt - "Same Mistake"



So while I'm turning in my sheets

And once again I cannot sleep

Walk out the door and up the street

Look at the stars beneath my feet

Remember rights that I did wrong

So here I go


Hello, hello
There is no place I cannot go

My mind is muddy but

My heart is heavy does it show

I lose the track that loses me

So here I go


And so I sent some men to fight

And one came back at dead of night

Said he'd seen my enemy

Said he looked just like me

So I set out to cut myself

And here I go

I'm not calling for a second chance

I'm screaming at the top of my voice

Give me reason, but don't give me choice

Cause I'll just make the same mistake again

And maybe someday we will meet

And maybe talk but not just speak

Dont buy the promises cause

There are no promises I keep

And my reflection troubles me

So here I go

I'm not calling for a second chance

I'm screaming at the top of my voice

Give me reason, but don't give me choice

Cause I'll just make the same mistake again


So while I'm turning in my sheets

And once again I cannot sleep

Walk out the door and up the street

Look at the stars

Look at the stars falling down

And I wonder where

Did I go wrong?



Daughtry - "Over You"



Now that it's all said and done,

I can't believe you were the one

To build me up and tear me down,

Like an old abandoned house.



What you said when you left

Just left me cold and out of breath.

I fell too far,

was in way too deep.

Guess I let you get the best of me.



Well, I never saw it coming.

I should've started running

A long, long time ago.

And I never thought I'd doubt you,

I'm better off without you

More than you, more than you know.



I'm slowly getting closure.

I guess it's really over.

I'm finally getting better.

And now I'm picking up the pieces.

I'm spending all of these years

Putting my heart back together



.'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,

I got over you.



You took a hammer to these walls,

Dragged the memories down the hall,

Packed your bags and walked away.

There was nothing I could say.



And when you slammed the front door shut,

A lot of others opened up,

So did my eyes so I could see

That you never were the best for me.



Well, I never saw it coming.

I should've started running

A long, long time ago.

And I never thought I'd doubt you,

I'm better off without you

More than you, more than you know.



I'm slowly getting closure.

I guess it's really over.

I'm finally getting better.

And now I'm picking up the pieces.

I'm spending all of these years

Putting my heart back together.

'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,

I got over you.



Well, I never saw it coming.

I should've started running

A long, long time ago.

And I never thought I'd doubt you,

I'm better off without you

More than you, more than you know.



I'm slowly getting closure.

I guess it's really over.

I'm finally getting better.

And now I'm picking up the pieces.

I'm spending all of these years

Putting my heart back together.



Well I'm putting my heart back together,

'Cause I got over you.

Well I got over you.

I got over you.'

Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,

I got over you.



The Fray - "You Found Me"



I found God

On the corner of first and Amistad

Where the west was all but won

All alone, smoking his last cigarette

I Said where you been, he said ask anything



Where were you?

When everything was falling apart

All my days were spent by the telephone

It never rang

And all I needed was a call

That never came

To the corner of first and Amistad



Lost and insecure

You found me, you found me

Lying on the floor

Surrounded, surrounded

Why'd you have to wait?

Where were you? Where were you?

Just a little late

You found me, you found me



In the end everyone ends up alone

Losing her, the only one whos ever known

Who I am, who I'm not, and who I want to be

No way to know how long she will be next to me



Lost and insecure

You found me, you found me

Lying on the floor

Surrounded, surrounded

Why'd you have to wait?

Where were you, where were you?

Just a little late

You found me, you found me



Early morning,

City breaks

Ive been calling

for years and years and years and years

And you never left me no messages

You never send me no letters

You got some kind of nerve,

taking all I want



Lost and insecure

You found me, you found me

Lying on the floor

Where were you, where were you?

Lost and insecure

You found me, you found me

Lying on the floor

Surrounded, surrounded

Why'd you have to wait?

Where were you, where were you?

Just a little late

You found me, you found me

why'd you have to wait

to find me, to find me?



Three is insulting.
