How To Save A Life lyrics -The Fray


Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it’s just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came


Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you’ve told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you


Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you’ve followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came


Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life


Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life


Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life


Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life

Life is a process

Life is learning

without limit of age

without any old words

Fall to stand up

Lose to try again

Fall to rise

until God says

“it’s time to go Home”

imperfections are spelled r-e-a-l

Dearest You,

For the past few hours, we have not been okay okay. That deep down feeling that something is not right, that something is off between us. We’re not agreeing on things that we normally agree on or we don’t even have that chemistry in the smallest things that is normally easy peezy for us. Maybe it was the long time apart, but then again, there’s no point in trying to distinguish what the root cause is for this since it just happened and it’s nice that we’re trying to make things right and even better. Call me sadistic, but I somewhat appreciate the fact and love the idea that it’s not always good and perfect for us. That there are imperfections for our relationship. Which, If I may, also has the same reason why I tell you that I love your self-declared imperfections . It’s these imperfections that destroy the possibility of you as a perfect ideal person. It helps me embrace the fact that you are real and this fuels my gratitude to God and you that I have you in my life. These imperfections help show that what we have is real, not just some make believe story for people to watch or read about. These imperfections that make me realize that despite falling in love with a charismatic person in and out, you’re not just an idea in my head, you are real. Charming and real.

Looking at our love glass half full,

20 years old life crisis

Ok, being 20-something…

They call it the “Quarter-life Crisis”…..
It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realising that there are many things about yourself that you didn’t know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realising that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren’t exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones.What you don’t recognise is that they are realising that too, and aren’t really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

ou look at your job … and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to have to start at the bottom and that scares you.Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realise that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn’t.

One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realise that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lie in bed and wonder why you can’t meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren’t a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot don’t seem as fun. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.

You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself… and while winning the race would be great, right now you’d just like to be a contender!What you may not realise is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.Pass this to your twenty-something friends… maybe it will help someone feel like they aren’t alone in their state of confusion…

Gravity is a Wonderful Thing

this is what an old man said to me just about half an hour ago. waited for him to reach the elevator and he told me: “you made me miss my exercise.” i told him you can exercise on the way down the stairs, and he gave this phrase: “gravity is a wonderful thing!” of course, 1st thing came to my mind was john mayer’s song. but then i reply and i tell him, everything is a wonderful thing. and what he said was pretty accurate: “more or less, yes, everything is wonderful” and the door of the elevator opens.. and conversation ends. but then the thoughts start to work, gravity in the sense of it is nothing but a force to let us know and make sure that we have our feet on the ground, not a single inch higher. and we are to consider each other as people who are bound together by gravity. not only the force of the earth, but the force of each other. feeling a bit higher in level than other people is nothing but a false hope, cause gravity makes sure you’re not any higher. in the arabic culture there’s a famous quote that says: “be beautiful, and then you shall see the world beautiful.” and seriously, gravity is a wonderful thing, as a song, and as a power. :)

laurasutherp:

What I have come to realise life is not like the movies,nor is there always a happy ending. It’s not like how its portrayed in song lyrics and everyone feels like they are the only ones being hard done by. Truth is you get from life what you put in,you make your decisions so makesure they’re the right ones.
