Talk To You

Life goes by at the speed of sound, My head’s in the clouds, my feet on the ground. Sometimes I’m lost and don’t know what to do, I find some comfort when I talk to you. The past is close behind I need to escape. With hope in my heart I can’t outrun fate. Have I taken too long and is it too late? I think I must learn to wipe clean the slate. Still life flies as I get left behind I hold onto dreams inside of my mind. I see where I’m going and what I’ve been through, It all disappears when I talk to you. The sun comes up and I can’t wait. I feel like a fish that has taken the bait. I struggle but it seems I’m stuck on the line, Maybe it can change with a little more time. I wonder if I really have things right, Still I survive, escape from the night. The future’s before me something’s in sight, The light at the end of the tunnel seems so bright. My mind seems to calm as I see what will be, Perhaps I should pray so I take a knee. I see what’s before but wonder what’s true, I think all I need is to just talk to you.
