Scrapbook

A scrapbook on my lap

A soft head on my shoulder

Behind loose plastic pages are some fading photographs

Peculiar fashion styles

In the corner there's a baby

Behind the infant smile is a heart I recognize

What was I doing then

Learning to take some steps

Then walking through adolescence

Some thousand miles away

And up in heaven God called a meeting

And in the space that was next to mine

He chose to write your name

I never understood our weather here

Or how together life and death must dance

But I'll forever be most baffled by

The subtle glances from who I landed

What are the chances

There's the place where

The story about us started and took the stage

It's been so many days

And now the bricks are starting to crack

Feels a little weird looking back

Because some things have changed

Some things have died

But somehow you've stayed the same all this time

I never understood our weather here

Or how together life and death must dance

But I'll forever be most baffled by

The subtle glances from who I landed

What are the chances

Some will say that it goes away

I will run and chase it down through

That rolling thunder and rain

I will risk my sails

And all this boat to be in that storm

Either way I am going to stay

Either way I am going to stay

Though the waves will try to pull me away

Either way I am going to stay
