AHEAD OF ME

LAST POST OF 2015

AHEAD OF ME

IN MY YOUTH I WAS SO AWKWARD AND SHY

IF YOU WERE TO ASK ME I COULDN'T EXPLAIN WHY 

IN MY INNOCENCE I WAS QUITE NAIVE

USED TO WEAR MY HEART PROUDLY ON MY SLEEVE

THAT WORKED WELL UNTIL I WAS A TEEN

THEN MY HEART WAS SELDOM SEEN

TAKEN BY SOME BEAUTY QUEEN

A WHIRLWIND ROMANCE AND SHE WAS GONE

EAGER TO LEARN,  EAGER TO KNOW 

SEVENTEEN AND READY TO GO 

REJECTION WAS NEVER PART OF THE PLAN

BUT I GOT MY SHARE

THE LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN IN BETWEEN

WAS WHAT I NEED THERE

BUT I LOOKED AWAY TOO LONG

WHEN I LOOKED BACK SHE WAS GONE

TRIPPING IN THE SUNSHINE, TRIPPING IN MY HEAD

WONDERING WHAT IT WAS I SAID 

NEVER WONDERED LONG, SHE CAUGHT MY EYE

WE PARTED WAYS AFTER YEARS WENT BY

I LIVED RECKLESS AND FREE

WITH NO THOUGHTS TO WHAT WAS AHEAD OF ME

TRAGEDY AND CIRCUMSTANCE CHANGED EVERYTHING I KNEW

I TRIED TO DO WHAT I COULD DO

AND NOTHING MADE ANYTHING ALRIGHT

HAD A MILLION REASONS WHY I SHOULD GO

SHUT THE DOOR BEHIND ME AND NEVER LOOKED BACK

LEFT EVERYTHING AND NOTHING BEHIND

I TRAVELED FAR AS TIME ALLOWED ME, FOUND A NEW PLACE TO REBUILD MY FAITH

IT'S STILL NOT ALRIGHT BUT WHY FIGHT IT

THINGS WILL BE JUST AS THEY ARE

AND WHEN I NEED RE-ASSURANCE, I NEVER HAVE TO GO FAR

TRIPPING IN THE SUNSHINE, TRIPPING IN MY HEAD

I NEVER WORRY ABOUT, WHAT ANYBODY SAID
