[insert your life here]

where I've come from. where I've been. where I'm going.

Nickelcreek has a great song called speak.

The stars were out as I drove home from the Dever's. Molly is leaving for the University of Idaho tomorrow morning at 630. After saying goodbye to her and her parents I was a bit sentimental, missing their beautiful presence. Listening to Souvenirs, Speak came on. The light and dancing guitar medley set my heart flying on a warm summer breeze and I desired nothing more than to listen to the song on the cool grass gazing deep into the galaxy; losing myself in the stars.

Honestly, it's one of those songs that makes me want to fall in love. It's not even the lyrics: the music simply sounds like two should listen together and enjoy the stars and the warmth of the summer breeze.

Nights like these make me so thankful that Jesus longs to fill every need and desire in our hearts. And he does, so perfectly.


****
Well I sat down next to a photograph
Tried my best almost made her laugh
She was my toughest crowd
There in the way was a moutain up in the clouds
Well I can't sleep and I'm not in love
I can't speak without messing up
Eye's tell of what's behind
And hers showed the way to a long and lonely climb
But through failure I'll proceed
And she'll see how far I've come

[Chorus]
And it's you and me in the sun and sea
I'll offer my heart to yours
It seems to me, no mystery
Well it isn't
So I'll try hard to speak

Well I sat down next to a living hell
Tried my best until I struck out
Movement is not mine
I stood in the way pretending that I was the vine
But no failure will proceed from a mouth that drinks it's wine

[Chorus]
And it's not me
Not my sanctity
These aren't my words to you
It's all clear when it's not from here
So clear
So I'll try not to speak
