“Someone Else’s Life”

Somehow
I’m leading someone else’s life
I cut a star down with my knife

And right now
I still see the way the moon
Plays this tune
Though our lights died.

My hands shake
My knees quake
It’s every day
The same way.
Cos then came you.
Then there’s you.
I keep your picture
In my worn through shoes.
Then there’s you.
Then came you.
When I’m lost,
I look at my picture of you.

And somehow
I’ll make tonight our own
I’ll show you every way I’ve grown
Since I met you

And right now
I’ll be the boy in your next song
I’ll learn the parts and play along
If you let me.

My hands shake
My knees quake
It’s every day
The same way.
Cos then came you.
Then there’s you.
I keep your picture
In my worn through shoes.
Then there’s you.
Then came you.
When I’m lost,
I look at my picture of you.

If you let me,
I’ll show the world to you.
Yes, if you let me,
I’ll know just what to do.

Cos then came you.
Then there’s you.
I keep your picture
In my worn through shoes.

When I’m lost
In your eyes
I see a way for me

"

“As time goes on, you’ll understand. What lasts, lasts; what doesn’t, doesn’t. Time solves most things. And what time can’t solve, you have to solve yourself.”

Haruki Murakami

"I think we all speak a different kind of language
than each other, but you sound a whole lot like coffee on a
Sunday morning and the rain is falling bitter against the windowpane
and your elbows are making holes in the counter tops, and
I only want to tell you that I wish I was as close as the threads of your t-shirt, and if I can’t be that, then I’ll be content with
drinking my drink beside you, with the rain sloppy open mouth kissing the roof, trying to dismantle the etymology of a conversation
that falls out of the realm of words."

— Shinji Moon

"Instruction does much, but
Encouragement does everything."

— Goethe

The faithful made me happy,
The bad refined me,
The worst were my lessons,
The best never left me."
