"Highs and Lows" is the second song in my 2012 "Song For You" series. Inspired by (you'll find out soon!), it explores the world of regret left behind from waiting too long to express your love for someone... and finding the power to pull out of it.

lyrics
Highs and Lows
Standing up to the sound of choirs
You're walking down the aisle
To the hand of another man
You pass me smiling like a child
And though it burns my lungs
I bite my tongue and give you the best I can
Oh, never gonna let it show
Oh, it's better that you never know such
CHORUS:
Highs and Lows
Watching as two lovers grow
But one love's blind
Highs and Lows
Waiting for those words to know
That I ran out of time
I Hear out loud the words avowed
Wishing they were mine
A one act Romeo
Waiting for your last line
Hallelujah, love is here
And as I join the chapel's cheer
I douse my fear with Holy wine
Oh, never gonna let it show
Oh, it's better that you never know such
CHORUS
I start to feel me breathing
As I stop to watch you go
I send up to the ceiling
All the lives I'll never know
I feel my heart is changing
As I watch you driving by
Come alive, come alive, come alive...
Not how the stories supposed to go
Highs and Lows
No more waiting just to know
It's time to come alive
So bring me back to life
