Well, the forum is called dream outloud. So here I am... dreaming outloud. Mmm, as I listen to the bootleg of my first ever U2 concert my mind races back to times so quickly forgotten. I started to think about where I was, who I was, and what I felt back then. Then I remembered this book I kept. It's not a journal, but a notebook, full of poems and song lyrics I wrote down. Poems I wrote, but not good enough to share here. Perhaps I'll write one for you guys to read one day. Anyway, I don't really have a point with this thread. I am just missing someone so much.
So I took it from the shelf and flipped through it's pages. As I stumble across the song lyrics I chose, I began to ponder why I chose those ones I wrote down... Some of the artists I don't like anymore or listen to, but I can still see the importance of the content, and why it was special to me at the time. It's funny, we grow, we change, but we still so much remain the same.
Life is great, but life is tough, and things become harder during holidays it seems. One song stood out for me tonight, and I wanted to share it with you.
In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along
I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense
And everytime I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes and so it goes
And so will you, I suppose
But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my first mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break
And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
So I would chose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows.
