I hope I'm not too late. I hope that you're okay. I left in a hurry. As soon as they told me. So I prayed for you. Hang on till tomorrow. Just don't leave me here today.
I'm gonna spread my wings. Fly 'em like a dove. Hear them angels sing, Rise above!. . Sittin' right and I. See things never saw. From here, them big things seem so silly and small.
And we wait above a road.. We're turning to go home.. And the silence from the side of the car,. Tells me everything and how we are.. 'Cause there's no more trying to make this so right..
Clever is a general word. While always showin' that she's hurt. But never wrong, but never wrong. It takes a lot to make the end. It takes a lot of smart thinkin'.
The smell of this place without you. The thought of your voice not here. The look in my eyes as I'm telling myself. that it's all been worth it. . So come on don't let me down.
(But for some reason, the closer I got with her, the harder my father would try to get me to stop seeing her. It was like he didn't want me to be happy for something. Not like he would ever do that, right? He would tell me I was wasting my time with her, I should concentrate on where I'm going to college. You know, I didn't want to go to college. So when graduation came around, I saw a completely different side of him. The side I always knew was there. He would say that I was going to throw away my life and I was going to make a terrible mistake. I guess something he was familiar with. He would tell me I was going to be a loser and people wouldn't respect me. That was also the day he told me about the mistake he made, me. I guess that was supposed to scare me straight. Oh well.).
(Well the next few years were probably the slowest, most uncomfortable years of my life. I mean, they tried to make it easy but they gave up pretty quickly. And I'm not gonna lie, I didn't make it easy on them either. I could just never forgive them. You know. But I'm the kinda person who believes everything happens for a reason. I'm kinda glad that I was so miserable counting down the days till I was 18, ya know, so I could leave. Cause the way it worked for me, it was this one day where I was in the right place at the right time..
(After I learned about my parents, they asked me to live with them. And I didn't want to but I really had no choice. So I finished out the school year, where I was, I lived with my grandfather, and uh, then I moved in with them. And you know what, it was great. I was happy. I was happy and I knew it. I clapped my hands.).
So wow, that's a pretty hard way to find something like that out.. (Yeah I know. You see the best part, is when they were telling me, I guess my reaction wasn't the most positive. So they tried playing this guilt trip like....
So what was it like for Dean?. (Well he kept to himself most of the time. He watched a lot of TV. He wasn't like umm...). Wait I got it. He didn't have many friends. And his mom and dad slash grandma and grandpa always were just a little too tired to wanna play. So when he was around kids, he would just sit in the corner and occupy himself. Because that's all he knew how to do. I mean how would he know any different..
(You see the deal was, her parents would take care of the kid until they got their feet on the ground. Cause they both have full time jobs and weren't financially stable yet, so they say. But her mom would always ask, "when are you gonna pick up Dean?" the baby. And they'd say they didn't have the time or they weren't ready. Ya know time passed quick and he wasn't a baby anymore. None of them really had the heart to tell him that his parents were too busy for him, didn't have time for him. He never knew that his aunt and uncle were actually his mom and dad.).
So what you're saying is, he grew up his whole life being tortured practically.. And as soon as he finally gets a taste of what normal life is like,. something huge happens, like an unexpected baby..
[Shrink]. Well, so he just left?... . [Patient]. See there comes a point in everyone's life. Where they just start seeing things differently. Or you know they're put in a situation where they have to.

We find our,. Our way through this. Knowing. The actors who play our friends. They always win. . So come in, we're all inside of nothin'. The place where we live our lives.
Can I say I miss you for lack to obtain.. Oh just a few good reasons to keep this interesting,. But again I lack in social skills.. So can I say I need you for planning my next trip..
I'm thinkin' 'bout givin' up this ramblin' round. Hangin' up my highway shoes. Lately when I walk they make a hollow sound. And they carry me away from you.
