crashing down in nashville

somedays i wonder what the heck i am doing here.

that sounds strange....i know i need to be here right now. i know i needed to get out of charleston for a while and have a fresh start for once. nashville is an amazing city and there are a lot of amazing people here. i just haven't quite found my place yet in all of this.

i feel sort of lost.


These back steps are steeper to the ground
The brightest stars are falling down
I’m walking the edge, walking the tightest rope
We can be frank, reality rips on through, rolling like a hurricane
I’m over the bridge and under the rain
If everything’s falling, if everything’s changed
If I’m in the open, if I’m in the way

What am I doing here
If you’re not with me
What have I got to live for,
if it’s just my own dream

Take it back to the beginning, back to the start
When gravity’s pulling, you’re still holding my heart
You come crashing down
Crashing down
These four walls are closing in on me
The talk is louder than I’ll sing
I want to be there,
want to be where you are but you know it all,
Every look and smile that aren’t meant to break
I’m over the bridge and under the rain
If everything’s falling, if everything’s changed
If I’m in the open, if I’m in the way

What am I doing here
If you’re not with me
What have I got to live for, if it’s just my own dream
Take it back to the beginning, back to the start
When gravity’s pulling, you’re still holding my heart

You come crashing down
Crashing down
And you say that everything is different,
why don’t we just hold on
And you say that everything is different, why don’t we just hold on
Crashing down

-Mat Kearney

*side note: what is funny is that i am sitting in a coffee shop looking at mat kearney while i am writing this. apparently this is where the cool people hang out.
