Verse 1:
Met at a dinky diner downtown,
whisked me awake, awake with your smile all around.
Hearing you speak made everything spin,
heart raced on and on like a champion for the win.
Chorus:
So hold me tight through the night,
‘cause I don’t wanna fight you anymore.
I just want us to finally be alright,
calm, cool and happily protected.
Verse 2:
Guess we were just made for a simple season,
‘cause heartstring wasn’t meant for fickle teasing.
Future screams with fright for moving on,
dang, I stayed awake until another dawn.
Bridge:
Day and night dreaming of you.
Or am I screaming at me?
Screaming at me?

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
