Soundtrack to my mood.

This where I'm at. I Love music for helping me through just about anything.
I couldn't pick one, because just about EVERY SONG by Nickel Creek right now speaks to me, and it's almost unbelievable.



REASONS WHY.
Where am I today? I wish that I knew
'Cause lookin' around there's no sign of you
I don't remember one jump or one leap
Just quiet steps away from your lead

I'm holding my heart out but clutching it too
Feeling this short of a love that we once knew
I'm calling this a home when it's not even close
Playing the role with nerves left exposed

Standing on a darkened stage
Stumbling through the lines
Others have excuses
I have my reasons why

We get distracted by the dreams of our own
But nobody's happy while feeling alone
And knowing how hard it hurts when we fall
We lean another ladder against the wrong wall

And climb high to the highest rung
To shake fists at the sky
Others have excuses
I have my reasons why
With so much deception it's hard not to wander away
It's hard not to wander away, it's hard not to wander away



SPIT ON A STRANGER.
however you feel
whatever it takes
whenever it’s real
whatever awaits me
whatever you need
however so slight
whenever it’s real
whenever it’s right

I’ve been thinking long and hard about the things you said to me
like a bitter stranger
now I see the long and short, the middle and what’s in between
I could spit on a stranger

whatever you feel
whatever it takes
whenever it’s real
whatever awaits me
whatever you need
however so slight

Honey I’m a prize and you’re a catch and we’re a perfect match
like two bitter strangers
now I see the long and short of it and I can make it last



WHEN YOU COME BACK DOWN.
You gotta leave me now
You gotta go alone
You gotta chase a dream
One that’s all your own
Before it slips away

When you’re flying high
Take my heart along
I’ll be the harmony
To every lonely song
That you learn to play

When you’re soaring through the air
I’ll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I’ll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down

I keep looking up
Awaiting your return
My greatest fear will be
That you will crash and burn
And I won’t feel your fire

I’ll be the other hand
That always holds a line
Connecting in between
Your sweet heart and mine
I’m strung out on that wire

I’ll be on the other end
To hear you when you call
Angel you were born to fly
And if you get too high
I’ll catch you when you fall
Catch you when you fall

Your memory's the sunshine
Every new day brings
I know the sky is calling
Angel let me help you with your wings

When you’re soaring through the air
I’ll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I’ll still be there
When you come back down

Take every chance you dare
I’ll still be there
When you come back down




HANGING BY A THREAD.
There’s a kind of emptiness
That consumes you
There’s a kind of hunger
That can eat you up
There’s a cold and darker side
Of the moonlight
And there’s a lonely side of love

With you here
Baby I am strong
No sign of weakness
With you gone
Baby I am hanging by a thread

There’s a certain kind of pain
That can numb you
There’s a type of freedom
That can tie you down
Sometimes the unexplained can define you
Sometimes silence is the only sound

With you here
Baby I am strong
No sign of weakness
With you gone
Baby I am hanging by a thread





I LOVE MUSIC, But the Lyrics make the song.
