déjà vu.

so i know we're not supposed to live our lives in fear of making mistakes.
but what about living in fear of repeating mistakes?

"you breathed infinity into my world
and time was lost up in a cloud and a whirl
we dug a hole in the cool grey earth
and lay there, for the night
and you said,
"wait for me, we'll fly the wind
we'll grow old and you'll be
stronger without him"

but oh, now
my world is at your feet
i was lost and i was found
but i was alive and now i've drowned
so now i will be waiting
for the world to hear my song
so they can tell me i was wrong

but they weren't there beneath your stare
and they weren't stripped til they were bare
of any bindings from the world outside that room
and they weren't taken by the hand
and led through fields of naked land
where any preconceived ideas were blown away
so i couldn't say,
"no"

you sighed and i was lost in you
weeks could have passed for all i knew
you were the blanket of the overworld
and so i couldn't say, i wouldn't say, "no"
and they all said,
"you're too young to even know
just don't let it grow and you'll be
stronger without him

but oh, now
my world is at your feet
i was lost and i was found
but i was alive and now i've drowned
so now i will be waiting
for the world to hear my song
so they can tell me i was wrong."

- they weren't there, missy higgins.
