Nobody Has to Go it Alone

Not so angry this time...

Nobody Has To Go it Alone

Verse 1:
It’s a long road to haul
If you’re going it alone
Sometimes we need friends
To take some of the blows

You think you have control
But you’re digging a deeper hole
Let me take some of the weight
Off your shoulders, ease your soul

Pre-Chorus
When you’re feeling the hurt
When you’re feeling the pain
When you’re face down in the dirt
When you’re tied up in chains

I’ll be there for you now
I’ll be there for you then
You don’t have to ask why
Because I’d do it all again

Chorus:
I’m here when you’re out-manned
Ready to lend a hand
In this great big world of the unknown
Nobody has to go it alone

Verse 2:
You don’t have to hide
Don’t need to always be right
Let me take some of the bullets
In this fight

You don’t have to speak
Don’t have to always feel weak
There’s people all around you
That you can seek

Pre-Chorus
When you’re feeling the hurt
When you’re feeling the pain
When you’re face down in the dirt
When you’re tied up in chains

I’ll be there for you now
I’ll be there for you then
You don’t have to ask why
Because I’d do it all again

Chorus:
I’m here when you’re out-manned
Ready to lend a hand
In this great big world of the unknown
Nobody has to go it alone

Nobody Else

I'm in a bad mood for some reason tonight... so here's a semi-angry song... Enjoy LOL

Nobody Else

Verse 1:
I lie awake on a cold dark night
I can't escape these things on my mind
All my thoughts are killing me inside
I can't leave it all behind

If I never see you again, it will be too soon
I hope you are haunted by your choices too
But maybe I’m being too cruel
But you’re the one giving me the fuel

Chorus:
Because me, I’m worn, I’m torn
Ready to be reborn
Ready to find the cure
There’s nothing in this life I can’t endure

I’m battled and tested
I’m fully invested
In being myself
And nobody else

Verse 2:
You wanted me to change
But I wanted to stay the same
You asked me to change who I am
But you wouldn’t even look at yourself

If you don’t like me for who I am
It’s time for you to find another man
Because I can’t be someone else
And you aren’t so perfect yourself

Chorus:
Because me, I’m worn, I’m torn
Ready to be reborn
Ready to find the cure
There’s nothing in this life I can’t endure

I’m battled and tested
I’m fully invested
In being myself
And nobody else

Bridge:
Sometimes this life can beat you down
Steal your heart and take your crown
But I’m not gonna wait around
Nobody is gonna hold me down

Chorus:
Because me, I’m worn, I’m torn
Ready to be reborn
Ready to find the cure
There’s nothing in this life I can’t endure

I’m battled and tested
I’m fully invested
In being myself
And nobody else

A Lover at Heart

Verse 1:
He was a good friend
He was a lover at heart
She was a shy girl
That tried way too hard

Although she really loved him,
Sometimes she’d leave him spurned
But when she walked away
He longed for her return

Chorus:
Better than a best friend
He loved her without end
When she was walking away
He could only say
He understood
I want a love that good

Verse 2:
She had a beauty about her
That nobody could see
A simple country girl
Born to run free

But when he looked at her
His eyes lit on fire
This diamond in the rough
Only he could admire

Chorus:
Better than a best friend
He loved her without end
When she was walking away
He could only say
He understood
I want a love that good

Verse 3:
On a cold winter morning
Sometime just after dawn
As quickly as their love began
It was over and he was gone

She found him lying peacefully
And her eyes filled with tears
She wondered what she would do
Without her lover dear

Chorus:
Better than a best friend
He loved her without end
When she was walking away
He could only say
He understood
I want a love that good

Outro:
He was a good friend
A lover at heart
He lives on in our memories
So we’ll never be apart

What a Day

So today I was going to go to the Auburn/Georgia game. I had it all worked out. My friend Billy had my student ticket because I let him borrow it for the previous game. Well, Billy and I failed to exchange the ticket this past week. I called him on Friday night, and found out that he was in Georgia. I briefly panicked, but regained my composure when he told me that he would be back this morning by noon. Plenty of time for me to get the ticket and get to the stadium, right?

I drove to Billy's apartment to pick up the ticket around noon. Billy and I had the bright idea that I could ride his bike to the stadium from there since traffic was so bad. It is about a ten to fifteen minute bike ride. I'd say the route is about 2 miles. Well I took off on his bike and got almost to the stadium when I realized my wallet had fallen out of my back pocket at some point. I again panicked... I call Billy. "Go outside your apartment and see if you see my wallet." It's not there. So, I begin to backtrack along the same route looking for my wallet (which has the ticket in it by the way). I get all the way back to Billy's apartment with no wallet found. I asked everyone I passed along the route if they had seen a wallet on the ground. Nothing. So I re-ride this route back and forth 4 times looking for my wallet which I know has been taken by someone by this point. In the course of all this riding, I did find an iPhone on the ground. Someone else was sharing a similar experience with me today. I picked up the phone and put it in my pocket. I finally gave up on my wallet quest and decided to go home and watch the game on TV.

Then the phone rings. It's the guy's girlfriend. He wants his phone back of course. I offer to meet with them somewhere after the game. He then tells me that he is so grateful that he will buy me a student ticket to the game from his friend. We agree to meet at the student gate to do the exchange. I arrive at the agreed upon location about 10 minutes before kickoff. The guy finally shows up right at kickoff... drunk. He has no ticket for me because his he couldn't get in touch with his friend. So he gives me $40 cash and I give him the phone. Of course, I can't buy a ticket for only $40 at kickoff right?? I try anyway. I was one of those people desperately holding up one finger like an idiot. I found several people selling tickets, but they all wanted closer to $200. Sorry folks. I then made the walk of shame all the way to Billy's apartment and headed home. I canceled all of my cards and what not, and now I have $40 to get me to Monday when the bank opens. Plenty of dough. Auburn wins the game and all is well.

So today I rode a bike approximately 16 miles and walked another 3 miles. At least I got my workout?
