Everyday Encounter...
|
This will be a two-parter, combined with another song from later on in the same album... Where I come from "deconstruction" is a bad word. Where I'm headed, "church" has a bad reputation. And yet along the way I'm still compelled by the God I was introduced to in the person of Jesus back when I was younger. And to that end I'm unable to throw out the baby with the bathwater. My theology might be growing, my tolerance of what the church has been is not what it was, but my deep-down fundamental belief in the love of God hasn't changed. I could ditch it, but that ending would be all wrong for me. Where I'm at is the place where I need to take responsibility for continuing to write the story and to develop realistic expectations of what that real love experience was all about, and therefore what it means to honour that. Acknowledging that love has changed, that perspectives on lovers are different, doesn't have to mean that the story has to end. What if true love isn't about things staying the same? What if true love has to change in order to grow, deepen and evolve into something more beautiful? Try to move on, but I know I'm a fool
Any love that ain't you Is a love that ain't true I thought I was strong, but my heart hasn't moved 'Cause any love that ain't you Is a love that ain't true -- Someone I was seen by Someone who was so mine, I should have known better I guess I know better now -- I could spend my whole life searching for that feeling But it won't be enough -- You are my story I would rewrite so I could stop you leaving 'Cause this ending's all wrong -- I thought I was strong, but my heart hasn't moved -- Crying on the drive home, I've never seen you so alone, I said it gets better It never got better this time Even though it's over, I just need you to know that You made my life better I'll never forgot our time
