reflection

the year was 2004, spring of 2004 to be precise. i was preparing to move outta the comforts of my parent's house and into an apartment downtown. yes, i had lived on my own before while attending utah state, but this was completely different. i was headed to the city to become, what my mom always refers to me as, "a true urbanite." turns out the city was the closet thing to "home" that i have ever felt outside of my home. anyway, the other day whilst out on my bike, i remembered this one song and that one album and this show that i had seen at kilby court just prior to my move... it took some time, but it finally came back to me and i rushed home to download the the gem... here it is, and i'll post the lyrics as well... i still love it, and probably a bit more because it brings back such great memories of such a promising time... and i love last part, "we've got somethin, nothin else matters now does it..."



you packed your life up into boxes
and what didn't fit
you carried
and the heavy things you left
the city loves you
it gives you oxygen
and a little space
to be filled
with all the heavy things you make

i'm not wasting loose change
‘cause i'm changing
falls without wings
i'm not waiting on tables to turn
cause i'm turning
forgive me for all things

the mirror kisses like you once did
at first it's cold
but delicate
then it reflects much more
my focus now is on the closest things
since my glasses broke
someone else should drive
or i might not leave at all

i'm not wasting loose change
‘cause i'm changing
falls without wings
i'm not waiting
on tables to turn
‘cause i'm turning
forgive me for all things

i'm not wasting loose change
‘cause i'm changing
falls without wings
i'm not waiting
on tables to turn
‘cause i'm turning
forgive me for all things
i'm not disapproving
if you got something to prove
well then prove it
falls without wings
we've got something
nothing else matters now does it
forgive me for all things
