Hope and Change

A song of hope, change, and the one in the way.

I took a quick drive outside the city to change my mind

I saw your face in all the trees, and i lost sight of the city lights

Why am i still here?

I´ve got all the answers in my mind

but i´m not brave enough to touch them

 

You were a lot like hope running into my veins

the kind of feeling that could kill if it all goes away

and like a hurricane you destroy quickly

you never cared about anything but yourself

 

You were the ending to my story

and the words that i screamed that night

i never give up easy

but i´ve finally reached that point

i´m not asking you to save me

i´m better off by my self

i´ve got a million reasons to change

but you´re not one

 

i lost track of time and i went back

to the place and the face i knew when i was younger

i was simpler back then, and smarter back then

now i´m a two day flight from my home town

but i´ll make it to make this change

without your constant reminding

of my lack of pride or my stupid dreams

 

You were the ending to my story

and the words that i screamed that night

i never give up easy

but i´ve finally reached that point

i´m not asking you to save me

i´m better off by my self

i´ve got a million reasons to change

but you´re not one

Great job Bridger, you never fail to amuse me! This song is beautiful, and the conflicts felt with loving. I can't explain to you back what i'm feeling when I read this poem but it does something for me.

"I never give up ease but i've finally reached that point" That's my favorite part....

interesting, expressive, honest, the emotion is revealed, maybe this could be put into the song lyric, i would love that song.
