"casting lines"

Every day I listen to music all the way in to work, and sometimes it's the same band for a few days, and today while I was driving to work, I changed from listening to my usual band and listened to a band that is hard for me to listen to at the moment. I thought maybe it would help lift me up a little bit today, I thought my heart could handle it.

I selected the band and then I put my iPod on shuffle for it to select a song, kind of like the "magic 8 ball" affect, and the song it first started playing made my heart drop. I listened to the song all the way to work, listening to each word...I don't know how to put in to words how this song made me feel, but it left me feeling sad more than happy.

I guess it's just one of those days...

"Casting Lines"

You learn to run, you learn to race through life, its unforgiving pace
These lines we're tracing to the truth
And stepping over endless cracks, I navigate these crooked paths
But all my roads lead back to you

And who are we to argue fate and who is time to make us wait
I'm standing here with nothing left to prove

And we're still coming home, a thread through the unknown
Yea, all the lines we cast into forever
Got tangled like some wreckage in the road
A road we walked alone but all the time that's passed held us together
And all the lines we cast will bring us home
It's a long way but I'm coming home

All the time I kept the score I never grasped what love was for
You, you always gave me what I need
To know it's true and still I strive to break the bonds and raise the sky
You tear the soil from the sea

But who am I to argue fate and who are you to walk away
I'm standing here with nothing left to prove

And we're still coming home, a thread through the unknown
All the lines we cast into forever
Got tangled like some wreckage in the road
A road we walked alone but all the time that's passed held us together
And all the lines we cast will bring us home
It's a long way but I'm coming home to you

Who are we to argue fate and who am I to think this way
I'm standing here with nothing left to lose

And we're still coming home, a thread through the unknown
Yea, all the lines we cast into forever
Will come back when the weather hits the road
A road we walked alone, but all the time that's passed held us together
And all the lines we cast will bring us home
It's a long way but I'm coming home

You learn to run, you learn to race through life, its unforgiving pace
These lines we're tracing to the truth
