Temporary Lyrics by David Goyette

Songs I Used to Love

0

[Verse 1]
Today
I sit atop the carpet floor
But underneath the memories
That this room gave 5,000 days before
But I'm ready to let go
Now that the chair is thrown and front yard's home
To bushes bricks and
Cars I don't know
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I've shied away
From these things being spoken
I've been a camel one straw away
From its back being broken
Acceptance too soon
Might just jinx it all
Will I float
Or will I fall
[Chorus]
It seems like
Things are working out ok
I've made my peace with all the good things
That disappeared yesterday
So goodbye
To my sweetest memoriеs
But hello to a place that shows me
Evеrything's not temporary
[Verse 2]
Today
I'm unlocking my door
With my mind on one sleeve, mouth on the other
I'm ready to get in to trouble
But it's been feeling so much better
My choices and my consequences
Make colder Junes and
Warm Decembers
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I've shied away
From these things being spoken
I take it all in stride
The window shades are open
Acceptance too soon
Might just jinx it all
Will I lie
Or will I crawl
[Chorus]
It seems like
Things are working out ok
I've made my peace with all the good things
That disappeared yesterday
So goodbye
To my sweetest memories
But hello to a place that shows me
Everything's not temporary
[Bridge]
But will I have interesting things to sing
When I'm no longer the one questioning
The way things are and how they're meant to be
But now that we're both billhook makers
I think I'll have new ways to see
[Chorus]
It seems like
Things are working out ok
I've made my peace with all the good things
That disappeared yesterday
So goodbye
To my sweetest memories
But hello to a place that shows me
Everything's not temporary
[Chorus]
It seems like
Things are working out ok
I've made my peace with all the good things
That disappeared yesterday
So goodbye
To my sweetest memories
But hello to a place that shows me
Everything's not temporary
