A Good Look At Jonathon Smith

Given It All 02:49
Sometimes I'm so scared of our commitment that I stutter Through my prayers, and so many times, I put myself first That I wonder what you can get in return Now that you've lost it all To find the joy that being with another human brings It seems that you have given all In order to chase down one of your biggest dreams And now, we are learning what true love really means Am I naive to think you can ignore my actions I just wish that you could just feel my heart And know just how much I care for you Now that you've lost it all To find the joy that being with another human brings It seems that you have given all In order to chase down one of your biggest dreams And now, we are learning what true love really means

I like to find myself Between the shadow and the light, Basking in opportunity ahead While reflecting on what's behind But I have to wonder Does anyone long for The golden mean anymore? When did we acquiesce And let "reality" trample our joy? When did we lose control And let our emotions run wild and unshod? Why do we flock to The very first one who Can appeal to an emotional extreme?
3.
I should have learned by now To tell you how I'm feeling But try as I might, the words don't come out right When will I learn not to hold on To my frustrations, my love? Because you take my hand and kiss me And remind me that you love me When I feel like an island And the world can just go to hell You take the time to rescue me When I feel so unlovable, When I can't get up and leave the house, You take my hand and kiss me And remind me that you love me
4.
I can't tell you how awful I felt When I told you I have to work tonight You had plans for the two of us But I sacrificed them for money I can't help but feeling a little less Than a good husband to deny our time together Sure, I know that we need the funds And maybe we'll both have to give something up to earn them Including our time together
5.
Where do I begin now that Our reconciliation has taken its first few baby steps? Instead of assurance, You have left me with more than a few nagging questions Oh, I can't whittle my experience Down to a few lines in a song And I can't minimize all the pain Down to a catchy refrain How can I start to believe in you After so many years of separation? Oh, I can't whittle my experience Down to a few lines in a song And I can't minimize all the pain Down to a catchy refrain

As I visit the home that I once shared Before I started my own As I look at the Christmas decorations I once helped set up I have an inkling of foresight That I’ll forever cherish this moment, This bittersweet affair As I look upon the half-filled bed He left a few months ago I wonder how long you'll live here In a house not deemed your own I have an inkling of foresight That I’ll forever cherish this moment, That bought me here to see you tonight To discuss your divorce again, again...
