Not all of it was bad
Not all of it was good
But I’m glad we closed the door
Not all of it was happy
Not all of it was sad
But I’m glad it’s finally over
Packed the rest of the space up
Turned over the keys and said
Time to go our own ways now
Nothing else we can say now
Hug it out and move on to
A better place now

Do it for yourself
Do it now
Tomorrow is too late
You are right on time
And whatever you do
Don’t second guess yourself
Because the night
Belongs to lovers
Caring too much
Creates trouble
Not caring enough
Can have the
Exact same effect
Except times double

To feel like
I’m a kid again
Hanging out in my house
The sanctuary that I dreamed up
As if my mom or dad
Would come around the corner
To surprise me to tease me
To feel again like I did
As a kid
Taking my socks off
On the couch
Pushing my bare feet
In between the cushions
Old tv shows returning me back
To the place where I can
Pretend that I’m on the divan
That I was on so many times
Before when I was young
Kool-aid in wine glasses
Fantasizing the future
I created the space how can I
Have it again in this
Grown up body
When I was there I looked ahead
Here I am now looking back
In this grown up life
I want to feel the freedom
That I did as a kid
As the adult that I am
Now somehow

Slow rock music continues
Floating above us
When I’m around you
You say be here now
I’m trying to figure out how
Did I get here in the first place
I mean
To be clear enough to say
To recall the things
I put into a box that day
Well enough to open it up again
Magic almost like this sunrise
Or tucking ourselves
Back inside under the covers
Hide our eyes
Hide your eyes
Hide my eyes
I want to make sure you are ready
For the next two days we have
The next two weeks we have
The next two years we can
Get away again
Like tonight in somber light
Except without the wasted time
Most people spend
Trying to figure out how
Be here now you said
To be clear enough to love
The most we can
Before we’re dead

Wherever did the wind blow
To sweep you cooly in
Wherever will the wind be
To escort you calmly out
The stress of the unknown
Yesterday
Exhibits pain from those
Not listening now
There is a voice inside
My head that tells me
Everything will be okay
Does the head say one thing
And the heart the other?
Is there only one voice or many
A lot of decisions
One true path
Just take a bath
Meditate and wait
Answer the question tomorrow
Don’t respond right away
Impulse says to
Take a deep breath
Tomorrow will arrive
At its usual hour

The more love you give
the more you receive
I suggest we give it all
I love you
Every part of you
Inside and out
Realize you are
Someone before
It’s too late
Wait
It’s never too late
So do it now
Before you perish
All your good ideas
The light inside you
Is waiting for you
To grasp it
Can you see yourself
Somewhere in there
Do you see
What I see?
I love you
