I’ve known the good and lived the bad, I learned a lot of things despite what I didn’t have. I’ve worked these days on knees that bleed, I got it all from you and helped to plant the seeds. I keep on going and walk my path, I know that this can never last. I’ll see the light, I will be free. I got it all from you and turned it into dreams.

Everyday I read in the paper that "so and so" has got to go down. All these decisions by people who seem to just throw a lot of money around for all their investors with their hand in some pockets, wondering when they’re gonna get paid. It makes me think about what makes the world go around. Who’s gonna save me from things going down? Too many times have I read in the paper that "so and so" is at it again. Loads of munitions just to take a position when you’re getting all that help from a friend. A mind one track and a kick in the back, that’s it and we’re going to war. Makes me think about what makes the world go around. Who’s gonna save me from things going down?

They were walking in the evening through the meadow by the bog, conversation and debating when he told her of his thoughts. He said, “If I keep picking you off the floor, I’m gonna finally just ignore you and walk on out the door. You keep talking about your friends like they’re the only ones who need or gonna let you in. You keep saying the same old things, you wanna be with me more than anything, but it seems I might as well just go and try to find someone to love me and take me home.”

Honey, let’s get running, take my hand, don’t let go. We’re out of here, there’s too much fussing, and we’re off to see what we can be. Something, better than nothing. We’re rusting our days away. Off we go to "we don’t know", but we’re gonna come to a place we can be something.

She was not expecting his assessing of her behaviour and what she did. So the next morning, without a warning, she made him coffee then she said, “The fact that you don’t want to be with me does not inspire me to want to love you or take you home. You keep carrying on and saying that I am what I am but you love me anyway. Your kind of love just puts me down. I don’t feel like I really want to be around so I made up my mind, that’s it, I’m gone. I’m gonna find someone who loves me, will take me home.”
