She leaves a message after the beep.

She says she's better now but she's still incomplete.

She's trying hard to make her voice sound soft and sweet.

A couple hours pass 'til he picks up the phone.

He wasn't ready for the shock, he holds his breath now.

He plays the message twice and then the dial tone reminds him that she's not around.

It's a lonely sound.

She's like an hourglass that never got the sand.

She's hollow and transparent like an infant.

He's a lonely boy but he still loves his life.

He doesn't look to make a scene, he looks to make right.

He's got perspective, and she's got nothing left.

And he wonders why he can't go on.

He's singin':

“Would she, could she've been thinking of me all along?

And if I asked her, would she tell me the truth?

'Cause it's a long way down when your hopes are high as mountains and I am worried that I'm falling for you.”

I'm holding out, I'm strong and I'm proud, and there's a new heart I've got thinking on me.

It's time you face yourself, take a look at this girl, and you'll see what I see.

There are just times when you feel sad.

For no reason at all…

Or maybe, just maybe… too many reasons that you can’t figure out which one’s the heaviest burden.

You feel stupid.

You feel empty.

You feel alone.

It’s just the moment when you wanna breakdown. Cry.

…but you can’t.

You just have to smile. Stay strong. Hold on.

…’cause others look up to you. ‘cause it just ain’t normal for you to feel such. ‘cause you just have to wear a happy face.

Kissing you is not what I had planned, and now I'm not so sure just where I stand. I wasn't looking for true love, but now you're looking at me. You're the only one I can think of, you're the only one I see. All I need is just a little more time to be sure of what I feel. Is it all in my mind? Cause it seems so hard to believe that you're all I need. Yes, it's true we've all been hurt before, but it doesn't seem to matter anymore. It may be a chance we're taking, but it always comes to this. If this isn't love we're makin', then I don't know what it is. No stars are out tonight, but we're shining our own light. And it's never felt so right cause boy the way I'm feeling it's easy to believe that you're all I need.

... ... ...

How can I find something that two can take without stumbling as we walk into our future's wake?

I'm like a broken record that you can play... repeating as if it matters everything I want to say.

I'll be all right. As long as it matters. As long as you're here with me now.

Forget that time, it's nothing. We touch and see.

All this is fine even as it crashes down on me.

I'm looking around. There's nothing that I could want more than I tell you there's no more than we've already got.

As much as I would like to write about it, words just ain't enough to describe and capture how I feel. 

...so I draw...

...&& scribble...

...&&& dream...

Don't let hate overwhelm you. Remember to listen to the voice that tells you...

ALWAYS LOVE. :)

To make a mountain of, your life is just a choice But I never learned enough to listen to the voice that told me Always love Hate will get you every time Always love Don't wait 'til the finish line Slow demands come round Squeeze the air and keep the rest out It helps to write it down even when you then cross it out But always love Hate will get you every time Always love even when you want to fight Self-directed lives I want to know what it'd be like to aim so high above Any card that you get dealt you Always love Hate will get you every time Always love Hate will get you I've been held back by something Yeah You said to me quietly on the stairs I've been held back by something (Yeah) You said to me quietly on the stairs You said, Hey you good ones Hey you good ones To make a mountain of your life is just a choice But I never learned enough to listen to the voice that told me Always love (Always love) Hate will get you every time Always love (Always love) Hate will get you I've been held back by something (Yeah) You said to me quietly on the stairs I've been held back by something Yeah, You said to me quietly on the stairs You said, Hey you good ones Hey you good ones Hey you good ones Aah Aah Aah
