I was sitting here earlier, watching the lightning... and suddenly lyrics flashed through my head... I don't know what caused it exactly, but I just sat down and started writing, and... this is what came out. I read it after I finished, and... well, I gotta say... I think it rings true in me somewhere... guess I'll just have to wait until I see what the future holds

"We use to laugh
We use to cry
We promised each other
There'd never be good bye

We tried to hold on
We tried to keep it
I said I love you...
You said I don't buy it

But I realized then
On that very day
Sometimes to get ahead
First you gotta run away...

Sometimes you gotta run before you walk
Maybe you scream before you talk
I don't know what's in between
Even with all the things I've seen
I don't know what's going to be...
Or whats been happening with me

It's been a year now...
So much has gone and changed
We don't talk anymore
Because our lives got re-arranged

I've moved on since then
Got a loving wife under my arm
And even with all the things we said...
I've never wished you harm

I know whats right and wrong
So I put it in this song
You don't always have to fight
Just look for the loves thats in sight

And then you run before you walk
You scream before you talk
You never give up through strife
As you keep going through your life
I don't know where this will end...
But you always have me as your friend

I know that I've been bad
And that this stories been had
But as I look on back
I realized... it wasn't always black

We talked before we screamed
And though its not all it seemed
I know that we can always be
Friends... because you are one to me...

So don't change...
And don't hide...
Get back up on your horse...
And girl... get back to the ride"
