Note To Self (No. 81)

(الألبوم: The Grey Space - 2008)

I wrote this one with the windows open
To let in some fresh air, or maybe I was half-hoping
I could fly away from it all, find a brighter day
But I'm here to live my life and I'll find a way
I got to thinking, you know it ain't so bad
I've got my friends and my brother and my Mum and my Dad
And I'm thankful for that, sorry I don't show it enough
These are the people that I turn to when the going gets tough
What up? I give thanks to my mates and crew
Like the boys say "together we gon' make it through"
And the same goes for you too, wherever you hail from
The words may change, we're all singing the same song
It's in the key of life, though we might forget the tune
From time to time man, we'll be all right
Look at the metres gained, stand in today's sun
You can't yet deal with tomorrow's rain

See that's life kid, and we just tryna live it right kid
'Cause it'll pass in the blink of an eyelid
So get your smile on, throw your hands high
Stay happy with the now, till tomorrow arrives
See that's life kid, and we just tryna live it right kid
'Cause it'll pass in the blink of an eyelid
So get your smile on, throw your hands high
Stay happy with the now, till tomorrow arrives

If these walls could talk, I'm not sure I'd want to listen
It's a fine line between a game and a competition, but
Sometimes I sit back and look at how far we've come
And it's hard to believe, it only just begun
Sometimes I wonder if you really understand
The drive that I find inside your encouragement
Sometimes I think about the days way back
'Fore the hurt crept in, tainted that household name
Love... that very household's name
But now that house holds painful memories for some
Endless card games and road trip charades
Remember the good times, I'm sure there's plenty more to come
See I'm here now, ear-to-ear now
Couldn't see through the storm, but horizon's clear now
I just wanna leave you with these words
No matter where each of us ends up on this Earth, for what it's worth

I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever

'Cause what's life but a journey of bus fares and train rides
Long days, late nights, kicks, snares and basslines
Hearts broken and tears shed
Good times spent with dear friends
From sunrise down to sunset
There's still breath in my chest
So I'ma keep walking the line, no, I ain't done yet
See I know it can be hard at times
But you only get one shot, don't let it pass you by
So what if you haven't yet met the love of your life?
So what if you've had your fair share of trouble and strife?
What I'm saying when I'm rhyming this verse
Is I realised we have such little time on this Earth
So from my people down the front to the kid up the back
Let me see you crack a smile if you feeling the track
Let go of your sorrow and be glad you're alive
Let's all be happy with the now, till tomorrow arrives

See that's life kid, and we just tryna live it right kid
'Cause it'll pass in the blink of an eyelid
So get your smile on, throw your hands high
Stay happy with the now, till tomorrow arrives
See that's life kid, and we just tryna live it right kid
'Cause it'll pass in the blink of an eyelid
So get your smile on, throw your hands high
Stay happy with the now, till tomorrow arrives

Talk to 'em, Adit
