Chapter 13: Turn the spotlight around
Waking Up
Years ago, I had an experience with an old friend. We hadn’t seen each other in years and I was thinking about what it would be like–would we still connect? Would it be like old times? How would it go? The second I focused on them, our friendship reawakened. This song is about that interaction.
Waking Up by Brandon Wilson
Sunday no rain
Find something nice to say
Cold hands don’t shake
Lean in for a brief embrace
All the thoughts that I had
Dissipate
All the words I want to say
Escape
Small talk shy smiles
Falling into patterns of an older time
Treading lightly
Missing mines laid in another life
All the thoughts I thought I had
Dissipate
All the words I should have said
In a yesterday
Lain to rest
Evening still here
Catching up on yesteryear
Hands brush light touch
I can see us waking up
All the thoughts I thought I had
Dissipate
All the words I should have said
In a yesterday
They don’t mean a thing
I can see us waking up
