the doors never closed

I've thought about writing again but figured it wouldn't be pretty.

writing is hard.

you place yourself on paper, hoping the right person picks it up and finds themselves in what you've said. and if they do, will you ever know?

so, today, I'll post the lyrics that found me at an Amos Lee concert, in Cincinnati, in April.
they kind of crept in quietly but stirred my soul nonetheless. I almost ignored them.
who knows what their future holds.


The doors never closed
at least not all the way
there are always remembrances
stories to sustain
dreams unfulfilled
things left unsaid
and some days i wonder
some days

Try to leave you behind
so i can move ahead
though it tears me up inside
to make my choice
never in one place too long
no forwarding address
though some days i wonder
some days

i know i said i'm not ready yet
but if you'd keep knocking
just keep knocking
please, please keep knocking
maybe one day
one day you'll find me here

You don't have to say a word
it's all been said before
i made it through this far
and i'll make the rest somehow
promises forgotten
minds rearranged
yet some days i'll wonder
some days

Never want things to end
crave experience too much
never want to engage
just like the feeling
of living
of trying to laugh
cause some days i wonder
some days

i know i said i'm not ready yet
but if you'd keep knocking
just keep knocking
please, please keep knocking
maybe one day
somehow
you'll find me here
