Never Quite What it Seems.

Do you ever stop and realize you might not really know someone?  That they are an unfolding mystery who is never fully revealed to you.  Do you ever wonder why we sometimes get so attached to our idea of someone?  Sometimes that mystery is exciting, sometimes it is painful.

 

Sometimes people are here to teach us a lesson other then we thought they were in ours lives for.  Sometimes we have to accept something different then what we hoped for.

 

Below are the lyrics to Over the Rhine’s It’s Never Quite What it Seems.

 

and your face

I do know well

every breath breathes

farewell

it's so still

no soul could tell

but one day

like this

the angels fell

 

and it's never quite what it seems

 

and it bleeds

this setting sun

and my arms ache

from holding on

let it go

this dying light

makes it hard to tell

wrong from right

 

and it's never quite what it seems

 

all the shadows of our doubts

and the light that burns too bright

soon burns out

 

and your face

you do know well

that the race is lost

hold still

'cause the first

shall be the last

those that burn with thirst

will lift their glass

 

and it's never quite what it seems

 

 

Namaste
