I think about how
it might have been
We'd spend our days
travelin'
It's not that I don't understand you
It's not that I don't want to be with you
but you only wanted me
The way you wanted me

So I will head out alone,
and hope for the best
We can hang our heads down
as we skip the goodbyes
and you can tell the world what you want them to hear
I've got nothing left to lose, my dear
So, I'm up for the little white lies
But you and I
know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there

I'll buy a magazine searching for your face
From coast to coast, or whatever I find my place
I'll track you on the radio
and I'll sign your list in a different name
But as close as I get to you
It's not the same

So, I will head out alone
and hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back
and say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
we can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I
know the reason why
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there
I'm gone, and you're still there

So, steal the show, and do your best
to cover the tracks that I have left
I wish you well,
and hope you find
whatever you're looking for
The way I might've changed my mind
but you only showed me the door

so I will, head out alone
hope for the best
We can pat ourselves on the back
and say that we tried
And if one of us makes it big
we can spill our regrets
And talk about how the love never dies
But you and I
You and I...
You and I...
know the reason why

trying to compile the works for this whole semester at school. four plus months have just passed that quickly and yes am really thankful for the timely vacation break. adding on these four plus months to the last semester and yup.. ive spent a whole year at lasalle, at that little printmaking haven.. that studio space overlooking the mountbatten canal...relentlessly devoting to art as though is like a new found religion.

and that "new found" means
unwavering faith. i have never been more than thankful
