about

A song for possibilities. Too many and too few.

lyrics

THERE WE'D SIT

When I was 19 I was shaken by the forks in the road
Which way to go
But now it seems those U-turns are few and far between
And on nights when I’m alone that don’t feel so good

But I will strum some chords on this old guitar
Until it sounds the way my heartbeat pounds
Because it’s a night, just like any other night
And here I sit, here I sit

Before I knew better I would worry
About being enough, about living up
Each day was like a race
My mind would set a breakneck pace
And you’d have to slow me down, or I’d derail

Until you sat me down by the riverbed
Where I could feel each breath as I pulled it into my lungs
It was a night, just like any other night
But there I’d be, there I could be

And I told you that when those lights got dark
You’d ask, and I would reply
When the colors of our lives changed hues
From something bright to more subdued

That I would take you up in my arms
And we would count the stars though we never learned their names
It’d be a night, just like any other night
But there we’d be
There we’d sit
