today like most days (i miss you)

*I wrote this song for my Annelise.

verse one
well it's always hard to say
good bye on your last day
when you're driving away
from me

and there's never enough time
oh for you and i
cause there's so many other people
you need to see

pre chorus
well a couple of letters
and a couple of calls
i guess that's better
than nothing at all
still i wish,
i wish that you would stay

chorus
cause today, like most days
i miss you
and today, like most days
i try not to
i've been fighting just to make
my way through
but today, like most days
i miss you

verse two
well it hasn't been the same
since you up and moved away
and left me here to stay
all alone

no matter what i do
there's no replacing you
so I keep counting down the days
till you come home

prechorus
well a couple of letters
and a couple of calls
i guess that's better
than nothing at all
still i wish,
i wish that you would stay

chorus
cause today, like most days
i miss you
and today, like most days
i try not to
i've been fighting just to make
my way through
but today, like most days
i miss you

restless

*i wrote this song this weekend with my good friend casadie pederson, out on a pretty farm in myrnam, ab - this song is a perfect description of how i've been feeling these days!! - restless!*

walking down the same old road
and the only thing i know
is where i've been
and where i wanna go

i've been singing the same old lines
wondering if i'm wasting time
running in circles
and going out of my mind

i've been waiting
for something
to happen
for this waiting to end

i'm restless
feeling helpless
i'm ready to run
and i'm ready to fly
i'm holding my breath
and i'm closing my eyes

i'm speechless
with all my weakness
i'm taking a leap of faith
and i'm on my way

i'm leaving it all behind
for a worn out stage
and a spotlight
i've been dragging my feet for too long
and it ends tonight

i've been waiting
for something
for anything
for this waiting to end

i'm restless
feeling helpless
i'm ready to run
and i'm ready to fly
i'm holding my breath
and i'm closing my eyes

i'm speechless
with all my weakness
i'm taking a leap of faith
and i'm on my way
