so, yesterday found me singing this song at the top of my lungs in my car as i was sitting on the cusp of a big decision, one that i had already made, one that i knew sat firmly in my heart, one that i knew would cause me to panic at times, but also one that i know will, in the end, be the right decision for these moments. i'm sure to continue to refer back to these words. luckily its good dancing music.
All there is, by Rebecca Riots
Dancing alone in my living room, dancing alone since I was a kid, don’t think I’m practicing for dancing with someone, I’m just doin’ what I always did, you know I do the best I can to be honest and decent and kind, but some people come around only once then I leave them behind..
These things we do, these words we say, these decisions we make, every moment of every day, this is all there is, we’re not rehearsing for anything, this is all there is……
Wake up every morning, fighting this demon of fog, imagine I got all the time in the world, but I may not have very long, have I said all I need to say, can I find the strength to move past fear and can I forgive myself when I screw up again and again and again
These things we do, these words we say, these decisions we make, every moment of every day, this is all there is, we’re not rehearsing for anything, this is all there is……
Dancin’ alone in my living room, damn I wish I was dancing with you, I’m not rehearsing, I’m just living, sometimes I dream too.. well I want to remember that hey! This day’s a one shot deal, gonna go out there and do what I want to, yeah, go out and there and say what I feel
These things we do, these words we say, these decisions we make, every moment of every day, this is all there is, we’re not rehearsing for anything, this is all there is……
These things we do, these words we say, these decisions we make, every moment of every day, this is all there is, we’re not rehearsing for anything, this is all there is……
This is all there is.. we’re not rehearsing for anything.. this is all there is, this is all there is!
ps. i'm no longer working at my paid job anymore. instead i've decided to volunteer devote many hours a week to a small non-profit that works with low income teens. pretty cool, eh?
