I wanted to believe in all the words that I was speaking
I could write this scene out, so clear in my mind. Perhaps change the location slightly, somewhere closer to the ocean, or the airplanes. But, I feel it, deeply, and I can see it, so vividly. When I bought this album I remember this song hit me in a way that I thought would leave … Continue reading I wanted to believe in all the words that I was speaking
Make me real
